I started packing today for my stay in Escondido. Still debating about taking my scanner. I am sort of addicted to my scanner. I started a 12 x 12 canvas. Laid in a sky and ocean. Not sure yet where it is going, but it’s a beginning.
My painting today is a 4 x 6 postcard, for the Milliande’s Art Community for Women, Birthday Postcard exchange I am a part of. It is watercolor on card stock. ( I recycled some blank cards I had by turning them inside out.)
Sadly, I received word today that the site is going to be gone soon. Milliande will be continuing some of the groups. And I am hoping that my group will decide to carry on together, at least until the end of the year. My birthday is in January, and I received such gorgeous cards. I will continue to send them for the remaining birthdays no matter what happens.
Keeping it short today, trying to meet a submission deadline – wish me luck. 🙂
Watercolor on cardstock
Hey There Sheila,
Very pretty!! And the lucky recipient will be very happy to receive this on her birthday.
I have seen that site Milliande before. What a shame it is coming to a close. She is a very talented artist.
Good luck with Day #5. Have fun in Escondido. (I’ll have to google that…don’t know where it is :o)
Joan
Looking forward to seeing your sky/ocean painting!
Thank you so much Joan! Escondido is about 45 minutes from where I live. (Wildomar) It is northern San Diego. North County they call it. It is east of the 15 FRWY and at the end of the 76 HGWY. I lived there on and off for many years. Some of my favorite restaurants are there. Mmm Chinese especially. I have yet to find a really good place in this area that is not super expensive. I made my deadline, so now I am off to comment on all the great paintings that were turned in today! So much fun!
This is very nice, Sheila. The colours are beautiful, too.
Thank You Lucy!
Hi Sheila it is very sad that the site is closing. I have made such good friends on there and they have helped my art to take wings so to speak. I love your painting of flowers they remind me of poppies.
Thank you Pauline. That is what I was trying for… I guess I really should start naming these huh? I have not looked at the groups she mentioned, to see if I can participate in them. Hmmm… maybe I can start some sort of group challenge or exchange on my site. Something to think about
