Foam Board Painting



Last Saturday in the Mixed Media class, Jo gave us each
a 12"x30" piece of foam board to play with. I have done
an acrylic paint rendition of a skirt a friend wore to church
a couple of weeks ago. I tried mainly to capture the colors
and think I got pretty close. My painting looks much more
like the skirt than I can make it show up on my blog.
Below is the skirt. This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.
I think I could have put more dark green in my painting,
but at this point I could easily ruin it by overworking it.
I'll probably just leave it as it is.

    Love the new background for your header, It is so fresh and makes me want to be at the ocean right now. (Especially since at work I am like 5 miles away...) And love your painting this week too!

    I love your version of the design, Faye. It has more "light" which is appealing to me. Great idea to use a fabric as your inspiration.

    Love your rendering of the skirt Faye
    Reminds me of a walk through a rose garden at the start of fall
    when red leaves are drifting through the air
    Happy PPF ♥ ♥
