I like to think that the moon is there

May there be just enough clouds in your life
to create a glorious sunset.

Spoonflower Monochrome Moments

Spoonflower hosts weekly design challenges. They are themed, and there are prizes for the top 10 designers. A fun way to build your portfolio and shop offerings. It’s been much too long since I have taken part, but I am jumping back in.

As always, I learned a lot in the process. I designed this specifically for a decorative pillow.

In addition to the cash prizes for the top ten designs, the top 50 have their proof swatch printed for free. A proof is required before the print is available for sale. Winners are decided through public voting.

The luminous light that burns on the Arizona desert,
out of long miles of untouched sage and sand. . .
Yes, that’s where I want to be, on an observation car
traveling swiftly into the Southwest.
Losing myself in a shimmer of fine dust.

Late night watercolor play. I resisted the urge to fill in the shapes completely, and outline. I added interest with a texture sheet. What do you think… unfinished, or rustic?

I have a handful of small paper scraps that need using. I have decided I need to paint fairly large. 6 x 6 to 12 x12 seems to be good for me. Maybe I should say my eyes and hands have made the decision for me. LOL. It’s getting harder to paint small details.

We’ve had perfect puffy clouds the last couple of days. I wanted to paint the sky.

Enjoying my small paper play. I hope you can find time for the things you enjoy this weekend.

I thank you God
for this most amazing day,
for the leaping greenly spirits of trees,
and for the blue dream of sky
and for everything which is natural,
which is infinite,
which is yes.
E. E. Cummings

The sky is the limit.
You never have the same experience twice.
