Thinking these must be starts. Incomplete abstracts. I have a few ideas of what I might do next. We will see if those ideas are still alive tomorrow, or if they are replaced with new ones. Used a palette knife to spread the paint. Getting more practice in.

I meant to add texture while the paint was still wet. As you can see I completely spaced it.

I signed up for a free workshop with Laly Mille. Follow the link for more information. I am looking forward to it. I am sure it will help keep my momentum going.

August made it a year in Arizona. Thought you might enjoy a look back at the changing Mingus view. These are in reverse order. Some are more about the clouds, than the mountains. There is one of Granite mountain as well. Enjoy my friends!

Right. Time to announce the giveaway recipients. I had a friend choose 10 Numbers between 1 and 30. And from the comments on those days, I took each name, wrote them on a slip of paper, and put them in a bowl.

From the bowl I choose ten names. I mixed the names up each time I took one out. Several names were drawn multiple times. Thanks you guys for being regular visitors!

In the sense of fairness, I replaced multiples with new names. Better to spread the bookmark wealth around. LOL.

Drum roll please!

Can you believe that someone recorded
this drum roll to fill 10 HOURS of video??

And the Bookmarks go to:

If you can read your name…. just kidding,

Laurelle, Val, Judith, Christine B., Christiane,
Carol E., Sea, Dotty, Martine, and Laurie!

Congratulations!

The bookmarks will be cut from these four paintings. Leave a comment with your first and second choice, and your mailing address. I will delete the address before posting the comment. I already have some of your addresses from the postcard mailing. If it hasn’t changed, you are good to go!

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to follow along with my daily September posts. Your encouragement, and inspiration is very important to me!
