Playing With Patterns

I’m having fun. Working on repeating patterns using my Clear Creek piece. What do ‘ya think? The original was watercolor and gouache on Yupo.

An artsy Blog Hop continues –  Karin Naylor has featured me on her blog today. She also introduces two more FaBuLOus artists. I learned more about one of my long time favorites, and discovered a new favorite too! I’m not gonna tell you who they are. You are going to have to see for yourself.

Seeing the paintings together like this just reminds me how fast time passes. Too fast! I am so thankful that you followed me through this month. The best part of the challenge is hearing from you! Your kindness and support are true blessings.

I started a Pinterest board at the beginning of this challenge, and I have 550 amazing pins on it! There will be more, as I add collages. You can also see the collages on Leslie’s blog.

Happy October and happy painting!

Day 25 – 30 in 30

Whew, we are over the hump, and comin’ round the bend. I have to admit I am glad we are almost there. I have had a high ratio of good paintings to bad, but I am not sure how long I can keep that up! ;-.)

For today, I worked on an 8 x 8 canvas panel. I took my cue for an artist I admire, Sandrine Pelissier. She does amazing large-scale work, and her floral arrangements are so fun and cheerful. I know part of the reason I love them so much, is all the pattern details she adds to them.

I had too much fun on this. It is not a one day painting. I prepped the panel with the purple  a couple of days ago. Cool found tool – I used a nail head to “stamp” the circles on the table.

Only a few days left to enjoy the gallery on Leslie’s Blog.
