Congratulations! This is the 30th day of our 30 day challenge. Well done all of you. I posted my favorites from week 1 and week 2. I’ll post week 3 soon.
Artists who completed all 30 challenges will be eligible to win special prizes, but you don’t have to have completed all 30 to participate, or to win a prize. Did you post every day in January? Let us know by adding your name to the last column in today’s Padlet.
If you’ve been following the challenges closely, you may remember that on January 28, I asked for you to submit your creative challenge ideas. I received a wide variety of project inspirations, but according to my own rules I could only pick one. The winning idea for today is from Karen Bell.

Capture a spot in your home you’ve looked at a thousand times but see it anew from an unusual vantage point:
Lay on your back or climb the wall!
Look upside down
Spy through water in a glass, semi transparent curtains, or other transforming layer
Peek through a crack in a door or within objects on a shelf, or plant with leaves, or some other framing device
Did this help you find novelty again within the seemingly mundane?
This is a view of the underside of my living room lamp. It struck me as having some cool geometry.

My last post containing a list of frustrations for painters included a picture of Susan Rothenberg.
