Day 1 - Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge

So, it is still before midnight on the 1st of Sept, and I think I posted my first 30in30 painting just fine on Leslie's blog.   Go to http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com  to see all of the paintings!! There are M - A - N - Y!

I may have mentioned before that my theme for this challenge is "Stuff In My Refrigerator".

I am posting to my blog by "Blog Go" so we will see how it works.  This is the progression for "Cilantro":
