The Last Paintings of the September 2015 “30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge”
The idea to complete the last paintings as postcards came to me when our Granddaughter, Emily, gave me a gift; a pretty little tin of 4 x 6 watercolor paper postcards. She had just returned from completing a year of study at the London School of Economics.
When last did you receive a postcard? I can’t remember when I did. Now I have a neat little collection of them hand-painted by………..me!
“A Postcard From Switzerland” –Switzerland
“Vermillion Sunset at Grand Canyon” –Arizona
“Yucca Plants in West Texas” –Near El Paso
“Indian Paintbrushes and Bluebonnets” –Central Texas
“A Corner Lot in Texas” –Near Schulenburg
“Okaloosa Island” –Florida
“Okaloosa Island Beach” –Florida
“Deep Woods Pond” –East Texas
“A Summer Day in Vail, Colorado” –Colorado
“Brothers” –Galveston, Texas
“A Courtyard in Mistra” –Greece
“Wide Spot in the Creek” –Central Texas
“Chamisa By The Road” –New Mexico
“An India Evening” India
“Main Street” –New Mexico
“Taos Blue” –New Mexico
“A Texas Backyard” –Central Texas
I painted each of these from photos I’ve taken myself, except for two; I have never been in India or Greece. I asked and got the permission from the photographers in each case.
More postcards are in the tin waiting to be painted. I’ll get to them another day….or month. Maybe the next 30-in-30 challenge.

Letters From Adele 
Congratulations on completing another 30-in-30 Challenge! I liked them all but think the last one – “A Texas Backyard” is my favourite. I need to bring you some photos from my last visit to the UK sometime for you to paint. :>) Please remind me the time & location of the art show this month. TTFN!
Thank you, Melanie. The art show will be on Saturday, October 24 from 12:30 until 4 (A come and go event) at Kingwood Christian Church, 3910 W. Lake Houston Parkway in Kingwood.
That’s a very good likeness of Adele after completing the 30-in-30 Challenge.
He should know.
These are all so sweet! I really love your style Adele 🙂 Hope to see you in January 🙂
Sheila, Thank you for the compliment and for subscribing to my blog. I really like your painting “Sunny Stems”, as I said, so like a Matisse, one of my favorite artists of the past. Your style is light-hearted and happy. January challenge……oh my….that’s difficult to think about now, but I probably will. Right now I’m getting ready for an art show this month with our local art group.
Wow! I especially like the “Brothers.”
Keith, Glad you like it.
