Day one, Done

Leslie Saeta’s September Challenge has begun. 30 paintings in 30 days. Over 700 artists worldwide are participating. The link above will take you to her post, where you can take a look at all the great art created today.  The map shows the countries represented. One of my favorite parts is viewing the daily creations of my friends. Hope you will take a peek.

I am finishing  my Summer School assignments, so these first few will be simple. Actually pieces of a surface pattern I am working on for school. I have several of these to work with, and you will see them in the next few days.

For the theme of Feathers… my first. The quill has gone missing, but I am thinking the design will be more about the shapes, than the details.

Such a fluke. My name was chosen. I can’t say I never win anything – anymore. I won a Sandy Sandy ORIGINAL Friendship Feather painting. It is gorgeous.

Feathers hold a special place with me. I am sure a lot of you would say that as well. Emily Dickinson wrote a poem that comes to mind, here is the first part:

Hope is the thing with feathers~

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

Isn’t that beautiful?

I have been an admirer of Sandy’s art for a while now. I love her brilliant colors, and the fluidity of her strokes. Sandy is a master with Yupo and watercolor. She also works with alcohol ink. She just makes it look so effortless.

Learning from the best – Spring in NY.

 

 

Sandy is so generous, sharing tips and tricks on her blog. She gives demos regularly, and gives fine art lessons. Visit her website for more information on upcoming events.

Receiving a piece of art from Sandy is a blessing to me. It is a chance to see the masters work up close and personal. Not only did Sandy grace me with a signed and matted Friendship Feather, she also included her tips on working with Yupo, and a sample pack for practice.
