Two out of three ain’t bad. Well, in this case, two out of three are bad. But there was joy in the creating. Learning in there as well. Good paper makes all the difference!
Trying for loose here. Kept on going all the way to messy and slightly muddy. Tried again, and Pink Tulips (above) was born.

Definitely LOVE the two first ones!!! The third one needs some help??? 🙂
ha ha ha 🙂 Thanks Karin. (I only thought the first one was good.)
Beautiful and fresh!! Also love the spattering. Keep up the experimenting!!!
Thanks Carol 🙂 Hope your experiments and lessons are going well 🙂
The Pink Tulips is lovely – so light and fresh. AND, getting one good one during experimenting is super as often we get none. Well done Sheila!
So true Val! Thanks for following along, it’s always good to hear from you 🙂
I really like these experiments, especially all the soft edges on #2, Sheila. Remember, when everything is treated as an experiment, there are no failures! Carry on! Hugs, Sandy
Thank you Sandy. I do like #2. Even though it is nothing like what I had in mind. I think it can be made better… Just need to think on it a bit. Happy inking to you AI Guru!! 🙂 Hugging back!
The textural and color softnesses in your Pink Tulips painting make for a welcome release of my hunched up shoulders. Your painting invites me to breathe deeply and slow down. aaaahhhh … Love the lighthearted splatters, too—little sparks of energy.
Hunched shoulders, oh my! Stepping over to your blog to find out why! I am so happy with how soft that turned out. The colors were stronger when wet, of course. And I like that, but a sweet surprise in the end. I love splatters, as you know. To me they are little bits of light. Your descritption is way better! Sparks! Breathe deep, jump in, and go forward in your explorations!
A great example for all of us that sometimes we have to work at getting loose but it will come if we keep at it. The last painting exudes the flowing of artistic spirit. Your blog exemplifies these words by Van Gogh: “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.”
Thanks, Sheila, for keeping us all motivated!
Such a wonderful quote Laurelle! You just made my day, reminding me that it is the journey that counts 🙂 Happy painting to you, and thanks for visiting!!
Just lovely! All three.
So glad you like them Jacki 🙂 Hope you are having a terrific weekend 🙂
