I could kick myself for not getting before shots of these last three pieces. Oh well. Spilt milk. Today I added the vase, table, greenery. More Sunkissed Peach to the background, to soften a couple of rough edges. Scratch marks. Just a few because I scratched off some of the collaged tissue. And a lot of turquoise and indigo scribbles.

This might be a WIP. Haven’t decided. I really like it the way it is. But that pesky voice inside my head is whispering that I need to actually add the roses. Keep it simple Sheila.

    So ‘Zen’ like. I love it the way it is. Simplicity is hard to do – that is what I love about this.

      Zen! Love that, thank you Janet 🙂 I have been feeling that about some of your pieces this month… couldn’t think of the word I needed. ;(

    I find this so soothing that I think a flower might interrupt the serenity. The green variations in the leaves are silhouetted nicely against the interesting background and the aqua and periwinkle table almost has a luminous quality to it. What I cannot wrap my head around is, how did you achieve the texture in the vase? It feels like I could touch it and feel it through the computer screen.

      WOW, Laurelle! I love that 🙂 There is tissue collaged under the vase, partially. I did not place it in that spot for that purpose. The first layers were unintentional. I did not have a concept in mind at the time. 🙂

    An interesting conundrum Sheila – to add a rose or not. Some say that ‘less is more’ while others might suggest a bold accent in a colour outside those already used. I rather like it simple.

    Yesterday I finished a simple painting with just greenery in a vase. I forced myself not to do more. At least I thought I was finished. I’m going back and forth on it. Now I see this. And the other day I finished “Wishin and Hopin” and then I see your “Bobby’s Girl”. This is getting weird! We’re on the same wave lenghth, Sheila! Hahaha! So it must be a sign! What ever you end up doing with this, leave the awesome simpleness to it. Because it’s not so simple- the scribbles, the soft words, the arrow. Wonderful!

      That is weird Laurie! And awesome! To be anywhere near your wave length is an honor and an inspiration!! 😉 I forgot to say that the turquoise touches on the leaves were inspired by you.
      Leaving it alone.
