Painted this late last night. Should have turned off the light, but I picked up a brush instead. Really happy with how it turned out. And today four more came into being. I am ahead if I continue to paint each day.

Such fun to splash water, and splash colors, and let them mingle!

 

FUNdamentals of Alcohol Ink E-Course

Sandy Sandy has a new class starting this week and I am so excited to be taking part! The FUNdamentals of Alchohol Ink E-Course is a four-week course, with more than two dozen demos!  I was hesitant to sign up, and commit to it at the same time as the challenge. But I couldn’t resist. I LOVE Sandy’s work with inks!

I can create at my own pace, and will have access to the lessons for a full year. I have worked with inks just a little on Yupo. I am really excited to learn more about the medium. Take a peek at the links, Sandy has some short videos that show what we will be up to!

My site might be up and down this morning, They are replacing some “trunk equipment” in the area. Don’t ask me what that means. Tech talk. I am just thankful I was finally able to get my post up!

Happy creative Monday to you!

Some days, just after the rain has passed, the sky turns a greenish grey. The light seems to make my neighbor’s tree glow from within.  I used artistic license, I can’t see the bottom half of the tree, and the top is squared off, not a pretty “tree” shape.

Today the clouds put on a show, as they passed over Mingus Mountain.  Here is a short clip to give you an idea.

Sunlight and shadows.

Calling this a work in progress because it is just plain… plain. I started it early in the day, then hem and hawed about finishing. I chose acrylics, listening to that critic in my head who kept saying “I can’t paint those hills in watercolor!”

But it was still difficult. Due to the fact, I am sure, that I had convinced myself I could never do God’s glory justice. Layers later, I have at least learned from the process. And ideas are brewing for the next steps.  The dark areas in the sky, on the left, are ripples in the paper. I rather like the effect! Here is the photo I was working from.
