Small Wooden Panels

🎨 Embrace the Challenge: Painting On Wood Panels with Amy Boardman

Hey there, art enthusiasts!

I've stumbled upon something truly exciting, and I couldn't wait to share it with you all. Have you ever heard of the "30 on 30" painting challenge? It's a concept I recently discovered in a book called "Daily Painting," written back in 2014. While the movement may not be as widespread today, the ideas it presents are pure gold.

The premise is simple yet incredibly inspiring: paint 30 small artworks on 30 panels, each measuring just 6" x 6". It's a challenge designed to ignite creativity, foster skill development, and inject a daily dose of excitement into the artistic process. The book emphasizes the power of painting often and on a smaller scale, highlighting how this practice can lead to greater productivity and success as an artist.

I must admit, I can't help but feel a twinge of regret that I didn't stumble upon this concept a decade ago. Imagine participating in this challenge alongside countless other artists, akin to the fervor of Inktober! Nevertheless, I'm thrilled to announce that I'm diving headfirst into this adventure now.

Inspired by the original artist who pioneered this challenge, Duane Kaiser, I've decided to embark on my own journey of painting on 6"x6" wooden panels. It's a chance for me to explore what truly inspires me, hone my skills, and document my progress along the way.

Curious to see what I've been painting? I invite you to visit my gallery at www.amyboardmanart.com and witness the evolution of my 30 on 30 challenge. From vibrant landscapes to intimate portraits, each piece tells a story of exploration and growth.

Join me in embracing the challenge, and let's see where this artistic journey takes us!

Happy Painting!

Creating art to bring hope, joy, and smiles, one painting at a time!

Amy Boadman

Hello, I'm an artist based in Huntsville, Alabama, deeply inspired by the natural world and guided by my faith. My creative journey began in the rural Midwest, surrounded by the serene beauty of farmland and rustic barns, and now flourishes amidst the breathtaking Appalachian Mountains.

From a young age, I was captivated by art through my father’s teenage sketches. This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for painting, which has become a peaceful escape and a means of personal and spiritual expression. My work primarily explores landscapes and a variety of subjects, including pets, animals, still lifes, and food. I work with watercolor, acrylic, and digital media, and occasionally delve into gouache, each medium offering a unique way to express my vision.

Art is more than a creative outlet for me; it’s a conduit for sharing hope, joy, and smiles. My life’s journey—shaped by a nomadic lifestyle across the USA—has profoundly influenced my artistic perspective. Each new place I've called home has offered fresh inspiration, enriching my appreciation for America's diverse landscapes and deepening my connection to nature.

My art blends my love for nature, my Christian faith, and my American heritage. I strive to reflect the beauty of the natural world and the divine in my paintings, offering encouragement, love, and hope to those who encounter my work. Each piece is created with the intention of fostering gratitude and optimism, brightening the world, and uplifting spirits—one painting at a time.

Thank you for joining me on this artistic journey. Happy painting!
