Sparse Art Week

I've been trying to get rid of some of the stuff
that has been inhabiting my closets, things I 
haven't used or even seen in decades. So I
did not do any art this week other than what
we did in Saturday's mixed media class - painted 
papers using newspaper inserts and acrylics.
I am entering this in Paint Party Friday

    Hi Faye. I've been away from your blog for a bit- too busy with life! But wow- your new header is amazing. And I like your little bit of art this week too. Maybe you could send some cleaning karma my way. I started one day, and have stalled now for 2 weeks. Happy weekend-hope all is well. Hugs-Erika

    Reducing things you don't need is a good start into 2017 to be able to fly better!

    Decluttering is so good to do. For me, it declutters my mind too and frees me up for more positive stuff like creating. Your piece is so awesome! I love the way you used your colors and papers, especially intigrating the black, which is usually difficult, well at least for me. Great job an Happy PPF & declutterings. Hope you have a GREAT upcoming week. Hugs, Rasz

    I commend you on tackling the closet purge. I try to clear out periodically especially at the end of a year to welcome the new year with a clean start. It's a job though. Your mixed media art is fun this week!

    This is a very different piece you're sharing today, compared to your gorgeous watercolors, but I like it. The white flowers add a unifying touch to the whole composition. Blessings, my friend!

    purging a closet or two is something that needs done here too. I think I have boxes in there that haven't been opened since moving to Missouri in 2000 :-( Great job with the layers in your mixed media project.. enjoy the process.

    I love your pieces of paper art at the top, Faye. And your painted/collaged pieces this week has a lot of detail when you enlarge it. Have a great week.
