Keeping Busy

October 30 is the day before Halloween for most people.

To me it is the anniversary date for my dh's "homecoming".

Two years. Sometimes it seems like yesterday. I am 

beginning to forge a new normal life. I am so thankful 

he let me be me and encouraged me in whatever I

wanted to do. I am grateful to God for allowing us

to have 56 years together. I am also so thankful for

the friends I have made on Paint Party Friday. You

have helped keep me sane while allowing me to

learn from you.  I love my visits to your blogs.

Below are some things that I have been working on.
The watercolor flower was used in a greetings card.
The first acrylic paint face is a WIP for Jo's class,

where Connie is helping us learn to do portraits.

the second one is something I tried on canvas.

PPF - Oct. 23

This week I started cleaning out my attic and found an interesting

folder from some conference center. The paper of the folder was

similar to watercolor paper but with big "pores". I did a couple

of small paintings on it to see if it would work. The results

are my entry for Paint Party Friday this week.

While tossing old greetings cards, I found this photo

nestled in among the cards. It is a 60 year old shot

of my future husband and me taken at a dance at

my college. I think I remember the dress was blue.

I know that I had had to borrow one.

Barn

I didn't do much art this week so I am not really

attending the PPF as thoroughly as I usually do. However, I did 

do a barn painting in watercolor. I love doing clouds.

And here is another intuitive watercolor that 

I have made into a greetings card.

PPF

This is a intuitive watercolor and pen/ink

piece I made to give away in the

Art Abandonment Project.

This is my entry for PPF this week.
