Another painting on the love theme, a possible candidate for, “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage”. There are about six to eight layers of paint on this. All the detail, and the heart wrap around the sides. There is bronze paint running through the heart, it never scans well. You can see it better in the photo below.

Bronze metallic paint catches the light.

I am thinking I need to add the word “Love” or “Joy” in the bottom left hand corner. I’d love to hear your opinion.

Happy day to you, and happy painting! Be sure to check out todays galley here.

This is a do over. Good practice though. I did The main trees and foreground with a palette knife. I don’t have much practice in with that. The distant tree trunks were with the knife as well, and then I brushed on the branches. My strokes are clumpy and heavy.

I started this just before 11 pm, and by 11:30 I was done. So Just under the wire. I intended to paint a flower, but the blank, bright yellow canvas was a little intimidating. It was so pretty just plain! This idea popped into my head, and I started by adding some bronze metallic paint with my fingers. I did the large trunks first.

I will paint over it and try again. I do like it. But I will try to do better.

This is on its way to Colorado. My cousin told me it reminds her of a story she loves. I am a book lover too, so I could not resist gifting it to her.

I just read that there are over 1000 artists taking part in Leslie’s challenge. That’s a whole lotta art goin’ on. We are half way through.

Today’s piece is a little bit collage, a little stamping, mostly mark making with paint. Back to the love theme, hoping to create a few more pieces this month for Brad’s upcoming book, “LOVE SAYINGS”.

Unfortunately the copper does not show in the scan. You can make out a few spots against the blue borders. It really adds some oomph in person.

Hope Monday is treating you well!
