NaMoPaiMo day nineteen

Yesterday was the nineteenth day of NaMoPaiMo.

Across the world, painters are starting...

and finishing their models.

There are models in pretty much every stage of the process.

Will they get done in time?

We work on getting that body color just right.

We add details to the hooves.

We know we might not finish,

that our models may not be perfect.

We keep painting anyway.

Here's one model I did not think was going to make it across the finishline.

Australian artist, Mel Boynes started this month strong, with daily video updates. Then there was a snag and talk of stripping. Fortunately, that didn't happen. With the help and encouragement of the NaMoPaiMo community, she was able to power through instead. Her Lilibet resin isn't in the official Winners' Circle yet, but I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing her in the next collage. Way to go, Mel! You are the NaMoPaiMo Champion of the Day.

Congratulations and good job to everyone who continues to work on their models. I can not wait to see what happens next!
