PPF and Artekarten

This abstract of tree leaves against the sky was made using acrylic paints, some of which were shiny with mica. The text is added digitally.  I am entering this in Paint Party Friday.

This second version has hand written script, a part of the poem Trees by Joyce Kilmer and is being entered in Art Cards Challenge.

    Beautiful background Faye, such great colourings.
    Just to let you know I also bought the six set of waterbased oils but bought a couple more tubes, the other colours should be mixable. Have never worked with oils before and these are brill for me as cannot take the fumes of proper oils and their cleaners. Happy PPF, Annette x
