Pink-Very Pink!!

This is for the summer of color week 3, pink week, over at twinkle twinkle......

There is a story why i did this portrait "sketch style"...... i just received Misty Mawn's book, unfurling, and in it there is an exercise where you sketch with a "stabilo marks all" pencil and then you soften the lines with a brush and water....then you can use color. i used water soluble wax pastels.... this was the first one i did and i decided that i would use the color pink and use it for the week 3 at twinkle twinkle...

Watercolour Flowers

some watercolour flowers i did to practice.....i cut them out and i will probably use them in something mixed media.....i am taking the "color drop flowers" class from martha lever over at creative workshops....

Green

the color of the week over at Twinkle Twinkle ,you guessed it, is GREEN......and i decided to do another portrait..... wish the shot was better....

Blue

This is"blue" for my first "Summer of Color" piece over at Twinkle Twinkle a fun challange to get you inspired....you probably guessed the first color is "blue" ......... i can use all the inspiration i can get these days...a good pinch would help also.....

it has been hot here in western carolina (90's) and i have to admit i do not like the heat...just want to stay indoors.....the heat is the reason we left florida... happy day!!!... ;-)

Soon to be Jam

Picked these this morning at my daughter's house......soooo yummy......they will mostly be used for jam......i think i will try the "no cook" freezer jam a neighbor told me about...it makes a small amount and is supposed to be super easy to prepare.......i am about "easy" when it comes to the kitchen....

Busy Busy....

mostly busy with our 14month old grand baby, Piper.....this picture is Piper in papa's Gator hat....she loves wearing it......and is a big ham when you pull out the camera

and....more "she Art" on a 10x10 canvas

Obsessed

with "she art"......i finally am using some of my craft paint,stamps and the ton of paper i have stashed away......and these are so much fun and stress free.....

One more "She Art" 4x6

this is the last one i will post here, honest....the others will go on my "card and paper arts blog" i haven't been posting much there but i think it is a good spot for my "she art" and etc.... ;)

She Art (again) 6x12

ok, i am having too much fun with these....

Playing with "She Art" on a 6x12 canvas panel

boy i am all over the place with my art these days....i must admit that i really had a great time doing this "she art" ( Christy Tomlinson ) piece even though it is loaded with too much "stuff".( i think)...and the girl is not straight....i got carried away ...paper was flying everywhere and mod podge had my fingers sticking together...... but it is fun, fun, fun....

Zorana's Class

Finally took a photo of the journal i did for Zorana's Class. It is a 8 x 10 accordian style journal that ties on both sides.......Pictured are the front and back covers....the pages are "rosin paper"....I like the size and i know i will enjoy working in it......

Another Sketch

Another charcoal sketch for Gritty Jane's class....i like the charcoal and think i will do more....i think i will use a reference this next time... i think all of the "girls" i do (from my head) look alike...so boring!!!!
