A bit of digital tweaking...

No watercolor class this week and my house is prepped for
showing to potential buyers. I'm afraid to get out too much
artwork supplies for fear of having to quickly stow it somewhere.

So what I have done is to take a painting I had on computer
and  intensified the colors using Photoshop Elements.


The new header is a photo of something I made
using silver colored metal tape. I colored it with a bronze 
color alcohol ink to look like a different metal.

I think we all need to be more loving in our speech and actions even
when (and maybe especially when) we disagree.  Of course,
I am addressing myself as much as anyone else. The world
is a scary place these days and so different from in my youth.

For a rewarding way to spend some time, visit Paint Party Friday,
an online blog where artists post their works. Thanks to Kristin
and Eva for hosting this weekly event.

  2. I agree with you Faye, we really need to be more loving.It's a very changed place to live compared to my start in life as well. But, when I speak to young people they seem to be very clear of their behavior, so I think we can trust the future.

  14. I like the header and the computer tweaked painting. Though I love your regular watercolors, too! I agree that we need to be careful about being kind when we speak. I seem to get increasingly irritated and cranky from all the Facebook "discussions". I need to just avoid them. It's nice to have uncontroversial blogs to visit! :)

  16. that new header looks great! And I like how the intense colours make your landscape look. I agree with your sentiment. Some comments on social media leave a very bad taste in my mouth. It's as if the anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in some people ...
