September is the month of the painting challenge. Now called Creative Gathering. I will be painting each day this month, and posting them here. I may not post each day. As I am also posting within the group. But I will show each painting, alone or in collections.

If you think you might be interested in participating, click here. The group is on Facebook, and you can join in at any time, do as much, or as little as you like. 🙂

I started this off with layers of pattern. Stencils, bubble wrap. I started with warm earth tones. Somehow the pinks took over. Meant to paint a snake plant. So much for plans. Ha-ha 🙂

Come Look At The Clouds!

Oh ! It’s such a beautiful blue sky!
Where the clouds make their hive
And a joyful experience
To sit and spy.

No rain. But how can I complain about a view like this?

Isn’t this a pretty sky? Takes a lot to steal the limelight from Mingus Mountain. This was the sky last night. Teased rain, again.

Today though, we had glorious rain for well over an hour. Booming thunder. Big fat drops, loudly bouncing off the windows. Trees swaying wildly. Gutters overflowing. Mingus hidden in a blanket of grey. A most welcome “light” storm”.

I am continuing to prep for the September paint-a-thon. I taped a few sheets, and hope to add some background textures this evening. We already have 32 members. WOW!!! I am so glad the word is spreading. This is going to be fun!
