Wanted to play, so I reached for some crayons. Caran d’Ache Neocolor II. A few minutes of fun before turning off the lights.
I think I am feeling fickle. That word comes to mind. Making many starts. Just playing really. Mixing colors. Made some mud.
Knee deep in three projects. And class starts next week. I will be sharing that with you. I am excited! Have a great weekend!

New sheet of paper, and paint in my palette. Couldn’t decide between brush or knife. So I went with my fingers. I knew I would get a completely different look.
Work in progress, acrylic on 12 x 12 gallery wrapped canvas.
I didn’t mean to be so stripey. So I will be doing this again. Another fresh start! You may not remember, But I created a background like this for a Scripture gift for friends. More what I had in mind. I used my fingers for that as well.
And it took two attempts to get it right.
Looking forward to more painting fun! Hope you are enjoying creative time, or maybe just relaxing time!

Think I am ready to count the flower as done. Apologies for the bad image. It is breaking up a bit. Larry suggested that the large dark spots were conflicting with the yellow shapes in the center of the flower. I was only concerned with the two on the bottom. Looking again, I noticed just how distracting they were. Four corners of a square. So I painted over, added some new smaller splatter to fill the voids, and I am happy with the result. Thank you Larry!
And thanks to everyone who shared suggestions!
To the next small start, I added Shiraz Inktense lines. I see hills, snow. sky. Still considering adding textures. Had that idea in the beginning. Might be more to come with this one.
