30 Paintings in 30 Days..... Woooohooooo.... Day 30 - Snowflake and Knuckles


Wow.... this has been a month.  HH here. I'm writing the blog today. I can't believe that it's the last day of the 30 Day challenge.... It has been an adventure.

First of all... I counted wrong. So today we have 2 cats.  So, technically, it's 31 Paintings in 30 Days..

The first cat is Snowflake... It's actually a kitten picture of Snowflake. It was sent in by a friend and there is no blog to direct you to. It's a cute little cat though and was fun to paint.

Here's Snowflake...

 The second cat today is, of course, Knuckles... Last but not least.  His whiskers were a little out of joint because he thought I forgot him.  I could never forget Knuckles.... He and Bugsy and Max have helped me through this whole challenge.  Here's Knuckles photo....

Knuckles - his serious side.... Ha!


One of the reasons I wanted to blog today is that I wanted to thank all of you for all your support.  The comments and the tweets and the blog posts about my paintings really kept me going.

Tomorrow we resume regular blogging, but I am not going to stop painting... I'll continue painting cats on a commission basis..... But I'll explain all that later.  For now, I just want to thank you all for all you did for me this month.....

Whew..... I made it!!!!

Congratulations. Great job. I can't even imagine the pace you have had to keep up. We told D about your challenge and he doesn't know how you managed to do it. You can feel very very proud of yourself.

BRAVO.... BRAVO.... you met the Challenge and had ONE to Spare!! THAT is grrrreat. BRAVO.
We admit that we will be kinda SAD to see it come to an end... it was EXCITING to see WHO popped up every day.

Cathy Keisha said...

That must have been a lot of hard work for Bugsy and Knuckles trying to entertain themselves while you painted. I would've been crying like a Banshee.

Marg said...

A BIG paws up and congratulations to you for completing the challenge - and doing such an incredible job! My human and I love our painting!

Brian said...

Those are great too! That was an amazing project!

Angel and Kirby said...

Congratulations! You did a wonderful job with all of the kitties.

Pumpkinpuddy said...

That was some project! Glad you made it through. I loved seeing all the kitty paintings. And Knuckles was certainly worth waiting for. Before the painting, I never noticed before that his mask around his mouth is lopsidey. Now I know how to tell Bugsy and Knuckles apart at a glance.

Clooney said...

Wow, congratulations HH! That sure was a big accomplishment and all of your paintings are fantastic! Hope you have a relaxing weekend.
