Watercolor Fun

This is the watercolor I am using for Word Art Wednesday.

This watercolor was done Wednesday while Masayo

was visiting and learning to paint with watercolors.

And lastly for this week, a little flower I did

Thursday night. I'm loving this painting flowers.

Visit Paint Party Friday to see lots of paintings.

Word Art Wednesday

I haven't entered Word Art Wednesday in a long time.

I love the idea of using scripture in my art so I am placing

this in this week's WAW challenge.

More Watercolor Flowers

 This first photo is of my portion of the Saturday class' cooperative art.

You can see what I've done lately by comparing it with the earlier photo.

Gross frustration, disappointment, and anger at being scammed

by a contractor who took my money (lots of it), leftover supplies, 

and walked off the job recently without finishing the project led to hours

of painting watercolor flowers to relieve the stress. These have been

made into greetings cards. Some have already been sent out and

I didn't get their pictures taken. This is my PPF entry for this week.

Watercolor Flowers

Here are some watercolor flowers I painted this week.

I have attached them to cardstock to make greetings cards.

These will be my entries for Paint  Party Friday.

More Altered Book Pages

Several WIPs and a couple of finished pages.

This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.

This one I used old deli wrap palettes and a pencil drawing.

This one I used black gesso on hand-carved stamps

made from a flip-flop.

This one is some drawings and backgrounds using

acrylic paints and baby wipes.

The page below says: You're blessed when you are at the end of your rope.

With less of you there is more of God and His rule.  

Matthew 5  The Message

 I am using up some old sketches and adding them to my book.

The page below says: Yesterday's past, Tomorrow's future, but

Today's a gift; that's why it's called the present.

Bil Keane

 Another use of old sketches.

I had to miss Saturday's art class so I can't show you what 

all four halves of the cooperative art looks like. 

Maybe next week.

Cooperative Art

My Saturday art class did some cooperative art on brown craft paper with acrylics. We split the painted sheet into fourths and each took a piece with the outline of a head on it. I brought my piece home, added stamping, stenciling, outlining, and finished the face/head. Then I found several quotes dealing with beauty to inscribe on it. When we get back together Saturday, we plan to put the four pieces back together (tape on the back, I think) to see what we have created. Sorry I don't have the before picture. 

I have added a lot to this. One side was black heavy and I tried to balance that a bit.

This is my entry for Paint Party Friday this week.

Below is one of my altered book  pages. The last time you saw this the girl 

was only a black and white sketch. I have painted her with acrylic paints.

Wall Hanging

Acrylics on Canvas

This is the wall hanging I made with the piece of

canvas that my Saturday art class teacher Joanna

gave me to work on several weeks ago. 

I did several small watercolors this week that I will

adhere to card stock for greetings cards. Here are a couple

that I finished. Many challenges showed up

lately. Doing art is a welcome respite from those.

I was happy to have my friend Laura over to

play art with me on Wednesday.
