On the Table...


Yesterday I started a large (for me) 16x20 canvas.
Sometimes it takes me forever to finish a small 5x7,
but I was determined to get this one close to completion. 
I was very fortunate to have a couple hours all to myself!
So naturally I put on some good music, grabbed some coffee (seems to be my creative companion),
and painted like a mad woman. :)

I used the same process as I did before here.

I am having fun experimenting and finding my way down this creative branch.
I was only using acrylics, so I actually felt like I was missing
book pages, paper, stencils, and stamps.
Next time I think I will try and incorporate them into the background.
I still hand yummy "painty" (yes, totally made up word) fingers.

So here she sits now. Very bright colors for me. But, I just went with it. 
Both my in house art expert (Hubby) and I think it needs 
more layers of paint, mainly in the yellow & orange areas. 


I am looking forward to working on it and adding words. 
(Of course. Lol. I always feel like it needs words!)
I am also looking forward to joining Paint Party Friday & 
Sneak Peek Friday this week. 


ALSO...please, please, please (yes, this is me begging - pretty please!)
come back Sunday for my 
100th post!! 
I will be having my first giveaway and 
I would love for you to join in the celebration!!


Until then have a beautiful, inspired weekend.

    These are such happy, happy pieces - sort of like some I have been working on. Just looks like lots of fun putting down those colors. I love layers, so I can see the temptation to keep adding. I think it looks great now, but layers never hurt, right?! Happy PPF!
    Blessings,
    Tricia

    Love all the colors and it's good to step away for a bit and get a different view. I'm going through the same things in the class I'm taking with Flora Bowley...afraid to add more paint and ruin what I'm working on...but I'm pushing myself and being brave. Just trying to remember to enjoy the process and the journey ;}
