Blogging A to Z - What To Do

I've joined the A to Z Blog Challenge for the last couple of years and really enjoyed being a part of the amazing event. For this year, I've been wondering what to do and have decided on a real challenge for me!

Months ago, I started reading about artists who create a painting a day. It's inspiring. It improves their art. It makes the artist work. It helps with art sales. It's fun. Also, it's grueling and it's daunting! That's why I'm going to give making a painting a day a try. And I'm going to make it my A to Z challenge. Hopefully this will be the challenge I need to finally Just Do It!

Can I do it?

I don't know. But I'll try.

Here's a sample. I'm 322 on the challenge list. Please visit and let me know what you think about the art I post.

    That's an amazing idea. I hope to catch you every time. Unfortunately, my job's gotten stricter on internet use, so I'll have to do most of my reading at home and I get home late! Maybe I'll look into getting hotspot through my cell phone and bring my laptop to work!

    You are amazingly talented! A painting a day sounds daunting but then I'm woefully unartistic. I love this one! I look forward to your A to Z posts.

    Thanks, Karen. It does sound daunting. Hope I haven't taken on more than I can handle!
