So here I am, at the start of my 100 painting project. It seems appropriate that the first painting is a sunny path, as I begin this painting journey. This piece started life as an acrylic painting. When I covered the acrylic with oil paint, it came to life. And that's when I knew that I wanted to do a whole lot more painting in oil.

Many of these paintings will be available for sale in my Etsy shop. Because honestly, what am I going to do with 100 paintings taking up precious space in my little house? And if I can send them off to new homes then I have that much more room to make more paintings.

This is a lovely sketch. The trees and their shadows look so real and natural. I can just picture myself taking a pleasant walk down this path.

Lovely painting, and so nice to see sun and grass - I'm surrounded by deep snow so this is actually making me feel warm looking at it. Good luck with the 99 others, can't wait to see them!

Love the play of shadows across the path. Lots of depth, I'm drawn right in.
