Day 8, 30 Day Challenge
$40 ©2013 Maggie Ruley
I learned a lot the first week of this challenge.
1.  It is fun to offer a give away and get people to look at my blog.
2. I should not have gotten so enthusiastic about palm trees in the very beginning.  I still have about 7 starts that need to be finished.  But I did take some cottage photos today that I can use for reference this week.
3. It is easy to do a small painting everyday when I am working in the pottery studio, but when I am focusing on a larger piece it is hard to break away from that to do a smaller piece.
4.  I have wonderful friends in blog land and on Facebook.
I will give away another painting next Sunday, here's the info:
I am having a give-away!

Here is how it works.  Leave a comment on my post and you will be entered to win.  I am going to give away one painting a week for the duration of the 30 Day Challenge, (the month of September, 2013). If you comment daily on my posts then you can be entered up to 7 times to win.  The winner will have their choice of any unsold painting of the week. 

Those of you who subscribe by e-mail to this blog can either reply to the e-mail, or comment and you will be entered.

Please note this drawing is going to be casual.  I am not hiring any fancy auditing company to do the selection.  It is going to be a plain old pieces of paper in a bowl thing.

If you are the winner your painting will be shipped to you after it has dried, which can take one to two weeks with oils.

  6. Love your paintings. Spotted them in a gallery on Duval St last yr. They so epitomize Key West, FL. Just purchased a home in FL & look forward to displaying your paintings on the walls.
