This is my third Challenge month with the Moses Botkin Challenge group. It was also my turn to choose the March Challenge. This may sound funny but I had never painted an image using a black background so I decided to Challenge myself by asking the group to paint an image on a black background and making it a must do for a new painting. I chose to paint a little filly, Megan, that lives down the road. Megan is older now and has been trained to ride and her owner says she is the best little mare. So with true joy I painted Megan making for, "A Painting Day".
The Challenge member's paintings are below so please enjoy the show.

All your paintings are wonderful. You've work a lot. Congrat !
Beautiful piece Ruth. The thumbnail jumped right off my screen and I had to come here first for a closer look.
Great challenge and you did a beautiful job with it!
Megan is beautiful and the black background works so well with her white coat.
Great Challenge idea, Ruth! I love this painting...great to have you in the group.
Beautiful job with the challenge Ruth!
Megan is just lovely and the black seemed to work beautifully! Love the forward movement too
Although I've used black backgrounds before, your pick for our Challenge this month gave me a reason to push it a little farther than I'd done previously. I'm thinking of doing some more experiments with that wonderful contrast and see where it takes me.
I love your little horse treasure. That black is so dramatic with Megan's bright light color. Beautiful!
ruth, your work is simply stunning. your brushwork and color so alive and vibrant. meagan is beautiful and native of the plains takes my breath away.
Wow! These are all amazing!!
Megan is absolutely beautiful Ruth. I love the black background since it makes her pop right out. Since my Dad passed away, I am now back catching up with everyone's work..my favorite is your Native of the plains...beautifully painted, as usual.
