O Happy Spring!

If it weren't for the pollen this would be a perfect season
with all things new and fresh!

This week I have a few watercolor paintings and my finished 
mixed media work from my Saturday class to show for PPF.

This door is from my Monday watercolors class.

This is a redo of the teacher's granddaughter. This 
looks more like her than the other 2 tries. I made her
eyelids narrower and eyebrows lighter. I trimmed off
the top of her hair and changed the face shape slightly.
The lips were changed a little bit too.

Here is a greetings card I made and sent.

These pansies paintings are from a friend's photo,
used with her permission.


Lastly, here is my mixed media piece, made from scraps of
painted papers, magazine snippets, paint, etc. It was a
lot of fun, much to my surprise. I have now bought a
large canvas to see if I can make something to go over
my sofa, using the same technique.

Happy Paint Party Friday and thanks to Kristin and Eva.

  16. Gosh, Faye, everything here is stunning. I absolutely love the mixed media piece at the end, I can't imagine how you got such a wonderful result and will have to study it more closely. The door painting has such a wonderful atmosphere, it's a beautiful door and arch.

  19. An enchanting garden doorway Faye, it's so delicate and beautiful. In fact all of your paintings are delightful.
    I painted a pansy too but it just doesn't compare to your beauty.
    I have two pollen sufferers here, but as spring seems to have forgotten us they may get away with it until much later.
