February – Day 24 Of 30

Day 24. 5 x 7 Acrylic on canvas panel. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.

This started with the same dot pattern that was in Day 23. The “leaf” pattern was there as well, but in a soft peach color. (Scroll down to see.) I added 3 or 4 layers of very wet acrylic using a palette knife to spread the paint. There is collage, the heart shape had words, and there is a long strip on the left. Tissue top and bottom.

I kept the paint thin, to allow the previous layers to show. But somewhere a long the way, the words were lost. Interestingly, some of the polka dots, the first layer, are showing thru full color. How weird is that? The vase is Neocolor II. Thinking I might go back and “wash” some of that away, to show more of the texture.

Snowed today. Mingus disappeared. On and off for most of the afternoon. It didn’t really stick, but late tonight I noticed there was a light dusting. I think that is all we’re going to get. But my fingers are crossed for more .

Wait, what? Only nine days left? Whoa! That went by fast! Felt like doing an Aloe plant. I love succulents and cacti. They are so sculptural, even exotic. Had fun with day twenty-one!

Today is drawing day for the third giveaway. I will put the numbers 1 – 7 into a dish, and choose one at random. From that day, I will choose one comment, by also putting numbers (one for each comment) into a dish. Stay tuned tomorrow for the lucky draw!

Before the roses, Day 19. 6 x 8 Mixed Media on Canvas panel. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.

I could kick myself for not getting before shots of these last three pieces. Oh well. Spilt milk. Today I added the vase, table, greenery. More Sunkissed Peach to the background, to soften a couple of rough edges. Scratch marks. Just a few because I scratched off some of the collaged tissue. And a lot of turquoise and indigo scribbles.

This might be a WIP. Haven’t decided. I really like it the way it is. But that pesky voice inside my head is whispering that I need to actually add the roses. Keep it simple Sheila.
