"Landscape of River with Tree and Swing in Autumn" Pastel on Illustration Board, 12"x12", Original Painting FOR SALE: $95.00 + $10.95 S&H

Hello everyone! It's January 30, 2015 and today is Day 30 of my 30 Painting's in 30 Days Painting Challenge! Yay! We made it to the end of the challenge!

My theme for this 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge has been "Every and Anything" and over the past month I have been painting every and anything from landscapes, to pet portraits; from people portraits, to still lifes; and so forth! (To learn more about why I chose this theme click HERE.)

I'm so proud of myself and of all of the artists who have participated in the Leslie Saeta painting challenge. It hasn't been easy, but we made it! Yaaaay! We did it!

Today's painting, which is my final painting for the challenge is a landscape of a river with a tree and swing in Autumn. I love all of the colorful fall foliage and the beautiful steep mountain in the background. I love that a rainbow of colors are used within this single composition. And I especially love how the green grasses pull you right into the painting in the foreground. This painting was a pleasure to paint, for me, as it was done using pastels, which are one of my favorite mediums to work with & hope you enjoy this pastel painting as much as I do!

So . . . that does it! Another 30 in 30 challenge completed!

I just wanted to thank all of those who have been following this blog and all of those who will continue to follow this blog beyond the challenge. Tomorrow, I will be posting a collage of all the finished paintings from this month's challenge. So stay tuned!

Until then, and 'til later fellow art lovers! Take care, and God bless!

Day 23 of 30 in 30 Painting Challenge: Animals: "Girly Goat"

Original 8x10 Pastel Painting For Sale - "Girly Goat" : $50.00+ $6.95 Shipping and  Handling

Hello everyone!

It's day 23 of the Leslie Saeta 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge and I have my new 23rd animal painting for you today!

I painted this cute little girly goat, last night in my studio in the basement. Shortly afterward I started working on it, I heard a few small footsteps coming down the stairs of the basement. Then my daughter, Sephie popped her head in the doorway, saw the painting and instantly commented on how much she liked the painting. Now, at that point, it was already 10:00 in the p.m. and I had already put her and her sisters to bed at 8:00 p.m. She, at that point, was supposed to be sleeping two hours ago. I almost sent her back upstairs, but quickly decided that I wanted her company, so I let her stay up a little. And besides, I thought to myself,  she's in an afternoon kindergarten class, so she could sleep in if she needed to.

I really had to push myself to complete this painting last night, as I was sooooo tired, but Sephora's company helped me push through. She's so sweet, pleasant, and funny, Being her mom is really good for my soul. She and her sisters, as well as their father keep me going. I'm really blessed.

Well, that's all for now my fellow art lovers!

Take care and God bless!

Day 22 of 30 in 30 Painting Challenge: Animals: "Lion in Grass"

Original 8x10 Pastel Painting For Sale - "Lion in Grass" : $50.00+ $6.95 Shipping and  Handling

Hello and good morning!

I'm just posting today's painting for the 30 in 30. This painting, like yesterday's painting, was done a little over a month ago, so that I'd have a backup on a day that I would not be able to paint. Usually, however, I do my paintings only a day ahead, so that whatever I post on any given day is painted the day before. That way, I can post the day before's painting early morning the next day. So normally, the painting for today's post would have been done yesterday, however due to a busy day yesterday, I did not get the chance to paint. Instead, I had lots of  chores and cleaning to do, that's laundry: folding clothes and washing clothes, making beds, cooking dinner, cleaning the girls bedrooms, and cleaning the kitchen, and dining room--in short I just wanted to get caught up on chores. The house was a mess when I woke up yesterday morning so, the time taken off from painting was well needed. I also wanted to get some rest last night because I woke up tired yesterday morning, and had to fight to keep myself awake while doing chores. So I went to bed early, last night, without painting. However, I plan on getting some painting done while the girls are at school today, after my usual normal chores, ofcourse.

Anyway, that's all for now from SamDoum Art.

'Til later fellow art lovers!
