Sandra Kavanaugh Fine Art

Well I finished the 30 in 30 challenge and most of it was fun.  I like 20 of my paintings and that's a pretty good average.  I tried out new surfaces, new paints and mediums and learned a lot.  My brushwork has gotten looser and my drawing/observation skills have improved immensely. Most importantly, I met my main goal - to get myself through the dark cold days of January and escape the polar vortex.

Now I have to concentrate on larger work and bigger goals. I hope to get juried into the New Hampshire Art Association and attain signature status in the Pastel Society.  I plan to study landscapes and composition.  I also want to figure out just what gives a painting that spark that makes you want to keep on looking.
