This is making me hungry for a slice of blueberry pie. With a small dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. I am going to count this done, but I think it is still a work in progress. Well, the painting IS done.

The design options still need work. I can turn it in to a repeating pattern, use it in my Zazzle shop, or?

I played with the idea of adding hearts. I may add a fringed border to these. Still thinking on that.

I painted the hearts on watercolor paper, added pen details and then trimmed them in white. That just was blah against the white of the background so I tried yellow to warm it up a bit.

This may be the last “Love” themed piece I do during the challenge. I have enough now to choose from for submission to “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.”

Tomorrow I will show you them all. You can tell me which ones you think are best. Have a super day. More 30 In 30 artwork on display here.

Counting this as done for today. But I think it needs… something. Any thoughts? I think it would make a nice gift card. There is room enough to add (digitally), “Thinking of you”, “You are…always on my mind” or “Happy Valentines”. It is really more red than pink in person, but pink works.

Another possibility for submission to “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.”

I have 6 paintings started. Enough to get me to the end of the month. I have three others that are wipe outs. Yupo experiments gone wrong. But I had fun making a mess!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog, and thanks to all who leave comments. I love hearing from you! More 30 In 30 goodness here.

If you look closely, you can see the current flowing in this. While it was drying, I thought it was probably going to be a do over. I thought the colors would merge and just be blah. Yupo is such a surprise!

Looking at it now, reminds me of Chihuly.

Sea Dean invited me to a blog hop. She is a fabulous artist who is taking Leslie Saeta’s 30 paintings in 30 days challenge with me.  I have been an admirer of hers for a while and I am so honored that she thought of me. I hope you will take a look at her blog post here.  I will continue the hop next week, stay tuned!
