Short detour - my Everyday Art Project is complete!

"Done, done, Katie's DONE!" (imagine me doing a little victory jig as I say it). 

Did you know that in the year 2011 I challenged myself to an Everyday Art Project? This means that all year I had to paint an ACEO (2.5"x3.5") every day. That's right, folks: 365 little watercolor illustrations. Finding the time for painting was a little tricky, but we now have a pretty good routine down that every day after the boys are in bed I take about an hour to myself during which I paint.

Here are the final two paintings:

Dec 30 ACEO - my wonderful big boy, Mark

Dec 31 ACEO - my little mischief maker, Sean

If you would like to see any other of my paintings, you can head over to my art blog. This next year I won't be painting a painting each day, but rather hope to create some larger, higher quality paintings. I also just enrolled in my first ever Watercolor class at the Clark Community college! It's *just* an evening class, but I am excited to hopefully learn some new techniques...
