I have been following Leah’s Blog, Creative Every Day for a while now and learned of her Art Every Day Month Challenge that happens every November. It is a fantastic community effort to do something creative every day, at least for this month. It’s not a huge amount of pressure, yet it’s just the little push I need to experiment with art and not be flustered by the thought or belief that everything I do has to be a final piece of work. So here I go on this month-long journey with many others who have stepped up to the challenge. I will be posting daily here on tortagialla, whatever work I do, whether in progress, completed or just musings. My goal is loosen up and experiment. Thanks for stopping by and I would appreciate your thoughts and comments, as always!

Good luck to you on that challenge, I don’t know if I could do that!

Wow, what a truly enlightening piece!
I feel you in this creation.

Thanks so much! I think I’m totally slow compared to everyone else…just a baby step at a time!
Love your background. My goal is to loosen up too. Workin’ on it
Cool! I hope we can loosen up together… keep at it!
How fun! What lovely layers of acrylic goodness!
Thanks for creating AEDM…loving it!
What a great idea! Thanks for the link, i think i’ll sign up as well. By the way….I love your new winter banner. Owls are one of my favorites and I enjoy watching what your little owl is up to!
Thanks for stopping by and glad I could help to spread the word about AEDM! Looking forward to seeing your work!
hmm, it reminds my of woods, somewhere, during a shimmery night. I’m also participating in the challenge : )
I am loving the creations, experimentation, community and sharing in AEDM. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! Let’s see what this little experimentation turns into!
I love the colours. Are these the colours of your Tuscan landscape?
Now that you mention it, when it isn’t all green, the colors of the landscape are very earth tonish as such. I’m not sure why, I picked this color scheme to work with. It is warm, yet not entirely at the same time…a bit religious relic in tone almost.
Hi Linda,
I like your start and can’t wait to see where this goes.

Thank you…we’ll both find out as I have no definite plans!
Hi Linda,
You are really going to town on this! Lovely earth tones, setting the stage for a wonderful painting!
I think AED will be a great challenge for all of us!
Thanks Judy! I am usually so worried about making mistakes…so tight! With AEDM I am wanting to loosen up and just do it.
Love the colors and textures of this luscious piece. Looking forward to sharing the journey with you!
Thanks for stopping by!
Linda,
Hooray for you for experimenting. I like the piece you posted because I have really been into texture lately and that piece has it!! Enjoy the month long journey with the rest of us in the challenge!
Thanks Maron! I am very much excited about this month!
Dear Linda,
Beautiful colors and texture! It feels very calming to me. I am curious to know where in Italy you are. My aunt and uncle live in Bologna. Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning!
Thanks! Ooo, I am located Montopoli Val D’arno…smack in between Pisa and Florence!
Hi Linda, I like how the paint flows and mingles! Wonderful, rich tone too. Look forward to seeing more!
Thank you! I’m not sure why, but very much into this whole color scheme now!
Hi Linda,
Thanks for posting on my blog and I love your painting. It feels like fairy dust and sparkles to me. I love the colors and the ethereal nature of the painting. Keep on painting and posting. I love this new community.
Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement…I’m still going at it to loosen up and experiment!
Loose and free. I like the effects you’re getting. I see a bit of shimmer in the second photo. How did you get that effect?
Thanks for checking out my work! Actually, the painting was still went when I took the photo, so the shimmer is probably the flash reflection! I think you could use medium of some sort to create glimmer in acrylic pieces though.
