I have made a commitment to create original art throughout the month of November. I first heard about the Art Every Day Challenge and Leah Piken Kolidas through the coaching school where I got my certification. As a member of the Creative Artists Niche of life coaches, I listened in on a tele-conference hosted by Leah exactly a year ago to launch Art Every Day month. Well, a year later, I am finally motivated to be accountable to my creations, and today I launch my first painting.
It is a watercolor that I began in the summer as a demo to my camp class. I taught them how to paint their Hebrew names in watercolor, and introduced some cool watercolor techniques, such as using salt to create patterns. I did the painting in August and wanted to embellish it for my first entry. My Hebrew name, Shifrah, means to beautify, repair and rebuild. I used to hate it and now I think it suits me perfectly, so I wanted to paint it. You can read more about my Hebrew name here.
I would love to hear your thoughts about this painting. And if you are so inclined, visit Leah’s website and sign up for the Art Every Day challenge. Let me know if you do. I would love to see what you create.
