Pattern Play

Petal possibilities.

Work on a pattern collection is starting to come together. Looking through my files, I realized, I have design elements that might compliment my new ideas. I played with a few color choices here, but they are still up in the air.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of France, the survivors and the friends and family members who are suffering such horrific loss.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18

September Recap

2 Replies

I am feeling sort of discombobulated. Fuddled. Rattled. With my missing September posts. Still hoping they will return. (Server issues)

I thought I would recap, mostly for myself, but also for visitors new to the blog.

September was a prolific month for me. Thanks to Leslie Saeta and her 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Hundreds of artists took part, painting and posting their work each day.

A quick look at my daily paintings. All were done in watercolor. Most of them on Yupo, but a couple were on paper. I am so happy with the work I produced this month.

My favorites from the month. Most of these were happy accidents.

My good friend and fellow artist Cindy Williams shared her top ten list of my paintings, take a peek. We agreed on many of them! I had so much fun painting sunflowers. I painted on scraps, and gave them away as bookmarks to my followers.

Bookmark Giveaways.

You can visit my Pinterest gallery to see fabulous art by the artists that participated. I looked again today, and I just love the work that was produced by everyone!

I just finished a large canvas for a friend, I will share that with you tomorrow.

Happy creative Monday to you!

This was painted for the September challenge. One of my “extras”. Adding a bit of sun to my chilly day, and hopefully to your day as well.

Still working on several acrylic pieces. And researching ideas for a small fabric collection I am working on. These are sketches of design elements I like, found in The Grammar Of Ornament.

Gathering Ideas, sketches for pattern design.

Has anyone else started watching Christmas movies? I know, I am demented. But I have to do something to distract myself while I wait for the last season of Downton Abbey.

Happy creating everyone!
