Brown Paper Play!

I felt like playing today!  I found a brown envelope and my cheap craft paints and just went for it!  I stencilled the white area at the bottom of the page and used a text stamp and one of my leaf stamps.  I also used my favourite "Posca" pens. Not sure why I wrote "organic!"  The word just came to me while painting! Painting "naive" houses is one of my favourite things - though they are usually more colourful than this one!


It's another dark, dreary, rainy day today!  Hope it's dry and sunny where you are! :)

Wilde and Free

Here is the finished painting!  Not as cute as Micki's girls, but I can work on that! :)  Along the way, I lost some colour in the painting, but overall I'm pleased with how she turned out.


Not long now until the 29 Faces challenge!  Are you taking part?!  Have a great day! :)

Wilde and Free

Here is my latest painting from Micki's class, still in progress. I hope to finish it tomorrow.  The weather today has been so dull and dreary and the light hasn't been so good.


I will post the finished painting tomorrow. Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. :)

Peace!

Here is my latest painting - created in my moleskine journal.  I decided to keep the details fairly simple to evoke the feeling of peace. The colour turquoise always manages to relax me too!


I am enjoying using my handmade tribal stamps - I don't know why I haven't thought of making my own stamps before!  I will definitely have another go at making other designs in the future.  See you again soon with more art. :)

Fun with Faces!

It's another face from Micki's class:


I do love playing around with digital effects! This is the "plastic wrap" effect - it makes you want to touch it!

Back to more painting!  Have a lovely evening! :)
