30 in 30 #1# Challenge





I jumped out of bed this morning with, on my mind, the desire to subscribe to the new challenge proposed by Leslie Saeta. It was late, but I hesitated because I will be absent a part of the  month, so I ' ll have to paint more than one painting a day while here..it is because Leslie said: who will count your paintings? It's true , and at least it's a challenge!

So, I did it, followed the orders to subscribe, with a former painting which was on my blog , as a thumbnail. And what was my surprise to see that it was taken as number one of my 30 th painting.
I was full of shame, thinking that other people would think I 'd liked to cheat, so I remove it.
It's the reason why there is  a blue animal above my name.
And it was to notice that a lot of people have done as I did!
Well, never mind, there is my number one.
Ce matin ma première idée a été, au saut du lit, de m'inscrire pour le challenge de Leslie Saeta,; elle propose de peindre 30 tableaux en 30 jours.J'hésitais, car je vais m'absenter pour quelques temps à partir du milieu du mois, mais une phrase de Leslie m'a décidée: Qui ira compter vos peintures? En effet, l'essentiel est de participer, n'est ce pas?
Et hop, j'ai peint cette petite demoiselle dont j'avais la photo sous le coude , et pour demain je pense que ce sera une de ses cousines.
