Dreaming of spring…

A mixed media piece with acrylic painting, pastels, stencils with molding paste, markers and collage. Love mixed media.

I know it seems crazy to think of spring just before the blizzard but that too shall pass and spring will be here! 

Watercolor with molding paste and tomboy markers. 

Colors just make me happy 💃💃💃

“Flowers and gratitude”. I was away at a swim meet this weekend. And if any of you are swim parents, you would know that there is a lot of sitting and waiting. Luckily I brought a goodie bag along with watercolor, markers and was able to finish this piece. I started with my favorite part, the faces, first, then added the flowers and left the doodling for the last. This piece is inspired by a lesson from Life Book 2017, taught by the wonderful Tamara Laporte. Check her out! 

Blue is one of my favorite colors. I always end up with blue in my palette. I love painting bold vibrant colors. This time, I wanted to go softer. I started with something really soft but kept feeling something was missing so I kept adding until I got here. Guess this is as soft as I can go:) She reminded me of the song Vincent… song of my youth. Loved singing it, especially at night, looking up at the night sky… starry nights are my favorite. Despite how many times I look up, I have yet to see a shooting star…. hopefully I will… one day:)

Here are some of my progress pics…
