Inspired by my Artist friend Alexandra Buckle who did a 50 print challenge in 2017. I decided to embark or my own version of a 50 painting challenge of architectural aspects found on local buildings.
The 49 50 Paintings Challenge
To complete 50 paintings of Architectural Aspects by 31st December 2018

About the 49 50 Challenge
In January 2018 I set myself a challenge to create 50 paintings in a year. All the paintings are/will be 49 sq inches and are of architecture details. All the paintings will be 7″ x 7″ – that’s 49 square inches. Hence the title 49 50. I kept them small intentionally, with the focus on architectural aspects or details allowing me to bring out the details in the same way I can in my larger paintings.
Here's the first finished piece.
Scouting around Buckingham and surrounding area for inspiration. Each painting had a working title of a number and description so Number 1 is 1-Clock. (Including the numbers in the title allows me to keep tabs on where I am when I do a project of this nature.) I gave them more creative titles as I progressed but my first priority was to do the paintings. So 1-Clock now has a title of
1 Marking Time
Here are the rest of the paintings
I had a working list of Architectural Aspects. Here it is as a pdf
And here they all are on the 31st December, 2018!
