Diane Mannion, CLOSE TO HOME, September 2013, oil/canvas or linen
Here they are in all their glory! Was pleased to find I had completed 22 instead of 21.
Was this challenge worth doing? You betcha! Many of these paintings would not have existed if not. Pushed myself more than I normally would during a busy and month.
Was able to paint 30 paintings during the January 2013 Challenge, so I know it's possible.

They all look fabulous together. There are some real 'crackers' there Diane.
Your work looks so cool together. Your talent comes through. i like how you did the collage with your professional name in the middle. :)
Thanks for introducing yourself, lovely work.
I admire your work, Diane...a real feeling for Florida! (My Dad and brother live there.)
Thanks, Kaethe! And nice to meet you, Maggie. Carol, thank you for commenting. Keep painting away, All!
What a wonderful variety of artwork! It really shows your range. This would make a nice postcard.
Thank you, Carlene! Postcard would be a fun idea, now if I could get every Floridian tourist to buy one.
Your collage looks great, Diane! I enjoyed following your work.
Thanks, Linda! We'll do it again in January! Your work is lovely.
Diane - you are an inspiration! I will look to you in January to keep me going. What fun, but hard / fulfilling work!
Thank you, Johnna... we WILL do it in January. And thanks for your wonderful comment about my painting on DPW, Pat's Garden. It's one of my favorites!
Beautiful collections Diane, both of them! I found this challenge to be a lot harder to keep up with than the one in January too.
Your collections look so terrific! Congratulations!
Congratulations Diane! I really admire your stunning paintings! What a badge of honour to be able to post 2 collages!! You have inspired me to be open minded about January after all. I'm impressed that you have already pumped out another painting since the challenge ended. I'm still catching my breath!
It is a shame that we live on different continents as I would love to learn plein air painting from you. I just love your style!
I love these beach themed paintings. Your collage grabbed my attention on Leslie's blog. Beautiful light shown here. Congratulations!
Thank you, Liana, Wendy, Maga, and Sandy. Love the camaraderie of this challenge and the DPW artists. I'll be watching your work and commenting to each when I get a chance.
Beautiful paintings and collage! I enjoyed seeing your collage from January also. You are a very talented artist. It is so rewarding meeting other artists in this challenge.
I have really enjoyed following your artwork these past few weeks, I think I discovered you half way through the challenge and I am happy I did! Happy painting!
Thank you, Judy! Meeting new artists has been a real treat with this challenge.
And Happy Painting to you too, Marcela.
I'm so pleased with your comments and I'll keep an eye on your work, too.
