I cannot believe it is Day thirty of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days September Challenge. Congrats to all of the 1003 artists who have completed this challenge. I am humbled by your beautiful painting.
When I came up with my Project Runway inspired theme I had no idea that it would be this much fun. So what did I learn?
First, I have realized that I can design an abstract painting from just about anything. Give me a photo of a room (or a dress!) and I know I can paint a good painting. I also know that abstract painting is the direction I am heading in the future. I have no doubt.
For my final challenge painting, I based it on who I think is the best all-time designer on Project Runway. It was a tough decision because I love them all. But Season Four had the best designs. And the winner, Christian Siriano, is by far the most talented and successful designer launched from the show. Ever.
The dress I used for my inspiration is a classic and was one of many amazing designs in Christian's season finale collection. 
Thanks Project Runway for making this last 30 days such an incredible journey. You really made it work.
Tomorrow all of the participants will be posting a collage of their paintings from this Challenge. So be sure and check back for final thoughts and the fabulous collages of all of the artists!

I cannot believe it is Day 29 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge! We are almost there. Is there really only one more day?
Project Runway is pretty creative with their "unconventional challenges". I thought long and hard about which one has been my favorite. I think it's almost impossible to choose so I am calling this "one of my most favorite unconventional challenges"!
On this episode the designers were asked to create a prom dress out of duck tape. Yep, duck tape. 
I should probably admit that I was not aware that duck tape came in so many cool colors and patterns. But the dresses that were created on this show were all really good!
​I also love Stanley Hudson who was one of the designers of this dress. He is so incredibly talented and actually showed up at my house one day when we were filming a commercial. Of course I cornered him right away!
I had so much fun creating this painting. Thanks for the inspiration!
