Does anyone remember the movie "If It's Tuesday...This must be Belgium???"  That what I thought of when I got ready to post the next installment in my 30 in 30 series.  I thought...where am I ...what am I posting today..what day is it???  It is a blurry challenge but a fun blur!  

When I think of names I always think of letters...what letters are in the name...is there an extra e and extra i or maybe a y instead of ie.  It always makes me wonder.  I remember growing up my mom would  say her name "Lucile with one "L" and Bennett two "n's" and two "t's".  Maybe that is why I am always looking for the letters.  That is why this is Kelly with one "E".   Kelly is an artist I met on facebook and find her to be not only a wonderful artist...check out her blog here...but also a wonderfully supportive friend.  I have always have a bit of a phobia about painting teeth...well...Kelly helped me with that too!!!  Such a big smile!  

OK...day 6 is done...on to day 7!!!  And don't forget to check out all the 30 in 30 artwork on Leslie Saeta's Blog!

I am having a ball with this new series of 30 paintings in 30 days.  Leslie Saeta's blog features all the participants artwork so check it out!

When I started thinking of which artists to paint I wanted a to include artists I know, ones I don't know, and people from different genres.  

This portrait is of Randy Higbee.  I don't really know Randy at all but I am very familiar with his fabulous frames and his equally fabulous 6 x 6 show he hosts every year.  I have followed him on facebook and thoroughly enjoy the interaction with his show's participants.  It is like a party on facebook!  

When I sent out requests to do these portraits Randy was one of the first people to respond, send me a fabulous picture and wish me well!  

Of course it is painted on a 6 x 6 panel...in honor of his show!
