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.

The base color, the pink that you see, is actually a warm mauve. I mixed magenta with a bit of copper. There is a mild sheen to it. This is another possible submission to “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.”

The words are from the poem, To His Coy Mistress, by Andrew Marvell. It was one of my favorites, a discovery in my college poetry class.  I found a site that suggested you should have Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s get it on” playing while you read this.  How times doth change.

Happy Monday everyone! 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!
