Yesterday I thought the painting was missing something. Today’s piece might have too much going on. I was working on a time crunch, watching the clock. I don’t think my mind was fully focused.

I tried a different process with the gauze and paint, the results are not what I had in mind, Again. LOL. You can see on the left, the spread is larger, but the pattern is broken and unrecognizable. Yup. I think I went overboard. Maybe I will feel different in the morning.

Road trip tomorrow. I am going to try to keep up with everything, but I am not sure if we will have internet. Will be spending  much of the time in the car.

Have a great weekend Everyone. Thanks so much for following along, and letting me know what you think. You’ve given me great ideas to try!

I have a feeling I have linked to this video before. But the song came to mind while I worked on this, so I am sharing it again. Hope it will add a skip to your step!

Thought about getting away from the linear layout. Not sure if I like it. But it doesn’t help that I goofed the sky. Ended up too dark. Doesn’t add any light between the stems.

Funny, but I seem to be posting a lot of pieces that I am not completely happy with. Well, there are still some to come. I will have a count at the end, but there are at least five. That is almost a quarter of the work for the month.

Yet, I am posting them. And I am not feeling, in any way, like they are failures. Not sure if that is because I had to work ahead. (Wanted to.) Or if it is that I am becoming more comfortable talking about the learning process. Thinking about the process, instead of being focused on the end result only.

I had fun while painting this, and that counts!

Well here it is the day before I leave on my trip. And I STILL need to paint my gift for the baby shower. Sometimes I work well under pressure. Let’s hope this is one of them!
