MARCH 2013 CHALLENGE
PAINT YOUR GLASS OFF




I love this time of year and the fact that the
sun gets a little bit brighter each day.   That 
brilliant light makes every piece of glass 
sparkle.  This month, I would like you
to find some of your favorite glass and 
put it in a place where it will catch the
light.   Then you can paint your glass off!

Good Luck!  Have Fun!

Rules of the Challenge:

1. This monthly Challenge is for DPP members only,
but anyone is welcome and encouraged to make comments on the posts.


2. Submit your Challenge entry just as you would a regular post - with

"Hanging On" by Debra Tritt Kreiger

Hanging On 3.5x5 watercolor on 140lb paper

This is a sweet little painting I did of  tiny sparrow hanging out on a rather windy day among the cattails! I had to really look for him because he blends right into the background. I believe this little bird is called a chipping sparrow. He has a wonderful song to sing.

To contact me about the purchase of this painting or see more of my work go to my website or follow my blog .
