A big hand to everyone who participated in the “metal” theme of the #studyfromlifechallenge: @algasume @artyyah @carolynannrogers @carowa11 @christi.artspace @dfan.art @filipinapate @irma.vandam.art @karen.denny.395 @leorawenger @malini_kundu @maria_paints_etc @robsdeadnow and @svet.art.canada. Once again I was so inspired by your beautiful and creative paintings! The theme for the next two weeks is: PATTERNS. Some people love ‘em, some people fear them! Which one are you? Personally I’ve been more on the fear side, and I have tended to avoid patterns in my paintings. But for the next two weeks, I will be tackling them head on. It’s good to face your fears, right? What’s more, @garimaparakhart and I would like to invite you to submit your entries via REELS this week. It’s not an absolute ‘must’ but do give it a try, especially if you have never published Reels before! Just to recap, the rules are to paint a themed object from real life, then share photos of both your painting and your subject with the hashtag #studyfromlifechallenge, tagging @ambiancepaintings and @garimaparakhart. We will comment on your post and mention you in our final roundup, and I will share your post in my stories! “Lemons with pink stripes” oil on canvas panel, 8 x 8 in. #artdare #artchallenge #paintingchallenge #patterns #canadianart #ottawaartscene #ottawaart #stilllifepainting #smalloilpainting #squarepainting #oilpaintingartist #capturinglight #perceptualpainting #impressionistpainting #allaprima
