I want to thank everyone for making this month such a success. I've loved doing a painting a day. It's been a real learning curve, not so much with the paintings themselves but all the other things - the website, uploading the images, even wrapping the paintings!! Being an artist can be quite a solitary occupation but this month has really felt like a shared experience. Every day for 30 days I have been immersed in these tiny images. Having to come up with an idea is brilliant for focusing the mind, and my morning walks with my dog Jess have given me the space to do this. I might well do it again next year if I get a free month. I have a feeling I may go the other way now and start work on some larger more complicated paintings, so watch this space!

For the final painting I took photos at each stage and here is the resulting animated picture showing how its done (if the image doesn't change within a couple of seconds you might need to refresh your browser):
