WOWzers this month is flying by. Two days finishing the challenge. Four working on the group Pinterest board. Five days of cleaning my digital files. Three days on a deep “Spring” studio cleaning. Hmm. Still a few days I can’t account for. I must have spent them working on the files. And I probably have another five days of work there. Still, they were not as disheveled as I imagined.
Meanwhile. I want to paint! So I reached for my scrap stack and my watercolors. I used the last of the colors on my palette. It’s not much. A little 4 x 4. Calling it play. It served the purpose. Relaxation. Meditation. Fun.
When I saw the scan, I decided it needed some warmth. I found an old painting, digitally cropped a flower and pasted it onto this. I added some color to the center, it was white before.
I am working on a larger piece. The rooster I didn’t get to last month. Or the month before that. Yeah, yeah. Big time procrastination. I have never painted a rooster. Don’t know how. But thanks to Youtube, I am learning.
Wishing you good health, peace, and JOY!
Let kindness lead the way.
This is a sweet piece Sheila and the flower is a nice pop. It is always good to have some playtime in our studios – no pressure, just fun.
Very true Val. 🙂 I have a palette with some gouache on it, from last month. I have been using that just for fun. It really goes a long way! I’ll be playing with that today. 😉
Happy creating, playing, quilling! God Bless 🙂
1. oooooo. I really like the new backdrop on your webpage, those soft textured blues.
2. Your 4×4″ leftovers play is just the ticket for starting this Tuesday morning. Softnesses, soothing washes of blues and greens, pinpricks of white, a pop of yellow, and the juxtaposition of stillness and gentle movement.
thank you, Sheila!
Thank YOU Dotty 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it, glad you like the new background too. I might be trying some new ones out, but I do like this.
Happy studio refurbishing, and creating! God Bless and keep you safe 🙂
Lovely to see your paintng and post this morning. It feels like a window of “normal” in a world that has gone slightly crazy. I think I will do what you are doing with my extra time at home and clean up my digital files. I have thousands of photos that I’ve taken over the years and they could certainly do with some organization and a lot of deleting. I have not painted in almost a week except to add some cosmetic surgery to an old portrait, but today I’m feeling creative again. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum. Stay safe and inside, Sheila. Love your posts! They keep me going;) xoxoxoxxo
Aww, thanks for that Laurelle. 🙂 I haven’t started on my photos yet. That one will take me the longest. I have three main files, Personal, Business, and Photo Albums. Personal is done, WHEW! All of my medical documents took forever. LOL 🙂 Business is 1/2 finished. Photos should not be too bad, just sorting new additions. But I have never gone through all of my Mingus shots. I have folders, and subfolders, and more subfolders. LOL. 🙂 I delete as I go, but I know there are a bunch more I can get rid of.
Have fun, my friend! It will be a great feeling to have it done! 🙂 Sending prayers your way, God Bless! xoxoxo
