October good bye

We're sorry to announce that Shoot and Paint will be closing this month. Although we would love to continue, Pamela and I both have too much on our plates at this time.

We've been sharing your art for almost 3 years and it's been a lot of fun. Your submissions have been great and we will continue enjoying your work online! Thank you for the support!

If you would like to follow our work here are our websites.

We'd love to hear from you whether it's praise or critique. Sometimes it's a simple comment that keeps us going as painters!

Join Us!

Who are we? Ria Hills and Pamela White Murphy. We are 2 artists living in Massachusetts. For inspiration we decided to have a painting challenge based on our photos each month. Of course it didn't stop there. This blog came next and then we decided to invite other artists to join in. The more the merrier!

On the first of every month we will post a new photo. You may use Shoot and Paint's photo or one of your own of a similar subject for your painting.

Paint you own interpretation, change colors, go abstract, add an element . . allow the photo to inspire you. Just stay within the boundaries of the subject and have fun!

To download the photo of the month right click it and save to your hard drive.

P.S. You don't need to be on time to submit for a challenge.

Scroll down for specifics on submitting your painting.

The Rules

* Only hand painted or hand drawn works will be accepted.

* All files must be in jpg format

* Once you complete the painting please email it's image as an attachment to me at rh@riahills.com
