Watercolor Paintings

I painted a couple of flower paintings in my journal for my Lifebook class.  The flowers were painted with Twinkling H2O's which are very shimmery watercolor paints.  They are fun to use and I love the shimmer.  The colors are intense and beautiful too.  I painted the borders with Silks acrylic glaze which is also very shimmery paint.  I also added bits of gold paint to add extra shimmer.  If you ever have a chance to use these paints I would recommend them.

 I am still working on preparing for my daughter's open house, but we only have one more week and then I can create more.

Have a great weekend.

New Painting

I finished this mixed media painting last week and I taught this style of mixed media to a group of mostly teen girls.  It was fun teaching and seeing all that they came up with.  I am still busy with graduation preparations, but I also started a new painting in my journal.  I'll share that when it is done too.  For now have a great weekend. 

Gallery

I started a mini gallery in my front room yesterday.  Now I need to get to painting so that I can fill more of my space.  These are all small paintings here.  I'm still getting ready for my graduate's open house and I thought that this would be a nice way to spruce up this wall.

New Pages

I have a few new pages to show off.  I haven't had as much time for art lately because of a busy time with my daughter graduating from high school.  Soon all the busy work will be over and I can get back to more art.  It is nice creating all these family memories though.  

This spread talks all about marriage and what I hope for my marriage.

Shimmery paint, string gel, black gesso, markers.

Affirmation page.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my new pages and have a great month of May.

Another Bird

I just finished another painting.  This one has a mixed media background and another bird painted on top.  I also used part of a poem by Emily Dickinson that is one of my favorites.  

Have a wonderfully creative weekend.  I have been very busy with preparations for my daughter's birthday and her graduation from high school.  Later in the summer I will have more time for art.

Hello Spring

I finished a new painting this week.  I wanted to celebrate spring finally making it to my part of the world.  This painting is mixed media on an 8x8 canvas.

This little bird is ready to help you welcome spring with bright colors and a cheery attitude. Hello Spring is now for sale for $45.00. This painting is on an 8x8 gallery wrapped heavy duty canvas. It has been sealed with a satin finish sealer. It is ready to hang.

Have a wonderful weekend,
