Whew, we are over the hump, and comin’ round the bend. I have to admit I am glad we are almost there. I have had a high ratio of good paintings to bad, but I am not sure how long I can keep that up! ;-.)
For today, I worked on an 8 x 8 canvas panel. I took my cue for an artist I admire, Sandrine Pelissier. She does amazing large-scale work, and her floral arrangements are so fun and cheerful. I know part of the reason I love them so much, is all the pattern details she adds to them.

I had too much fun on this. It is not a one day painting. I prepped the panel with the purple a couple of days ago. Cool found tool – I used a nail head to “stamp” the circles on the table.
Only a few days left to enjoy the gallery on Leslie’s Blog.
Way cool Sheila. hehe I like the FUN in this and also the things you used to create the painting.. Way to go! 🙂
Thanks so much Sylvie, it was a lot of fun 🙂
This painting is so wonderful and different than anything I’ve seen before. Love the purple and all the designs.
So glad you like it Karin 🙂 I hope you visited Sandrines site – so awesome!
Thanks Sheila for sharing my blog, your painting looks great!
You’re welcome Sandrine! I love your work 🙂
Oh Sheila this is a wonderful painting. It would cheer anyone up. I am going to pin it. You sure have been busy. I admire all you have produced.
Aww, thanks so much Susan. 🙂
Sheila,

Thanks so much Connie I learned a lot form this… may have to do another. 🙂 Happy painting today!
Hey There Sheila!
You are #13 today and I’m #15!! We are in the same row – how cool is that. I love your purple flowers plus the whole piece is so pretty! I love creating paintings using mixed media!! It’s lots of fun, isn’t it? This is a first – I haven’t heard of using a nail head as a painting tool. I will have to try it seems like it would be fun! 🙂 It’s home stretch time now! Good Luck with Day #27. 🙂
oops, I mean Day #26! Getting ahead of myself there! 🙂
Might be because you are working on several at a time… hahaha
Hi Joan, that is something I learned from Pauline Agnew and her making marks class. I have a three inch nail and a bolt I use. Just don’t ask me what they are really meant for 🙂 Happy creating to you too!
