I was a nervous wreck the last three days, I didn't have a clue what to paint. I knew what I wanted to paint today but not then. It feels so weird to know that I have posted so many paintings. I am not sure whats next, I don't think I am going to be posting every day but who knows. I think it will be less now, there is a lot in real life I want to do other than painting every day. This is me at Heathcote Botanical Gardens here in Fort Pierce. I think Amy, the director there took the photo I worked from. It was real cold that day, thats why I have the heavy shirt on. Its 8 x 10, oil and not for sale.

Very nice Lori. I think that the experience of doing 500 paintings really shows in your accomplished style and technique. I love the colors in this one, especially your jacket and contrasting flowers.
Thanks so much Julie!
Yippie!!! Lori, you did it!! Love your self-portrait. I think you're going to really reap the benefits from working so hard all this time!!
Thanks Mitzi! I hope so, it would be lovely!
Congratulations! I'm just thinking about starting to paint daily but with so many projects going I'm not sure how it's going to happen...maybe posting twice a week to start. I love your self-portrait. It's drawn me in off the "webway" to a peaceful spot. I've just been out surfing the daily painter blogs trying to figure out how to list mine.

Best wishes on your painting journey!
