Re: The 100 Paintings Challenge!


Just a quick note today to say that I have finished “The 100 paintings Challenge.” The host of that blog, Laure Ferlita, has posted part one of a two part interview with me which some of you might enjoy. http://www.100paintingschallenge.com/

And I’m temporarily grounded from sketching with tendonitis in my right shoulder …. But this will pass. Don’t think I’ve given up posting.

    I love this kind of mushroom and your painting is the perfect representation. I hope your shoulder improves with dedicated rest.
    I always enjoy seeing your beautiful work and reading about your adventures.

    I hope your tendonitis goes away soon Elva. What misery that can be. This mushroom looks so real. I feel I could pluck it off the paper along with the little fern. Congrats on the 100 paintings challenge.

    I can't wait to check out the interview. You are SO talented and I am waiting for a book from you! I have a date with my son tonight, but I will not miss this interview. You're paintings (and I love, love, love your ink sketches) are so full of emotion - the delicate touch is evident. I also adore your words. You are really gifted.

    Thank you Ginger, and Lisa and Margaret and Maria and Teri! You've been loyal followers.

    and No, Teri, I didn't do it painting, although I have the unusual distinction of having broken a leg while photographing a painting -- several years ago. This shoulder it the result of trying to reinvent my body in one quick session, i.e. too many new excercises on the same day. January is a dangerous time of year!

    Today, after 8 days of misery, I'm finally eating with my right hand and type a little with both hands. Hoooo Ray!
