Week One
Seven paintings. And one whoosh of a week.
I’m having fun, getting back to painting. It’s been months. Hello again!
All of these are acrylics with collage, some of it digital collage. Some pen, some palette knife. The first 5 days I worked on 8 x 8 canvas board. The last two abstracts are 4 x 4 on paper.
I included an Arizona map on one of the cactus pads. The words are lyrics to the song “Missing” by Everything But The Girl.
… And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain …
Glad to see you back painting! Love your cheerful flowers, especially day 1… It really speaks to me. 🙂
Thank you, Karin. So nice to hear, and I am so glad you enjoyed that piece.
I had so much fun with it. Happy creating to you!
Just beautiful!! I love them all and especially together!
So kind of you Donna. :o) Thank you.
Your birds have been wonderful. I love them!
I am still working on your video, My pieces have been taking so long, I haven’t had time
for anything else.
Happy painting to you!
Lovely to see this pop up in my email this morning, Sheila! You are already have had a tremendously creative week. Your day one pink flowers are a magnificent way to start off. And I have to give special mention to those prickly pears, unique and wonderful, truly. Nice work!! I look forward to next week’s.
Thank you Laurelle. :o) I am so glad you enjoyed them.
you are missed, but I know you are painting away. And your work has
been spectacular! I love your florals!
Where has the week gone! You are doing brilliantly this time and you picked my favourites to highlight in this blog – the cactus and the vase with flowers. Both have wonderful colour combos. Keep up the good work but don’t overdo!
Wowzers! Thank you for that, Val. 🙂 I feel like I am clawing my way through it. Haha.
But I am enjoying the process, and I am learning along the way.
I am learning from your drawings as well. 🙂
30-Day Creative Gathering, September 2024, week one! Woo hoo! Hats off to you, Sheila, for hosting this wonderful event! My first task, after taking in each of your first seven creation with delight, was to go hunting for your signature in each piece … but I only detected it in two. Did the week whoosh some of the signatures away hahaha??! Thank you for featuring enlarged images of Day 1 and Day 4. LOVE those! The texture and details in Day 1 keep my eyes moving through that piece again and again. Very appealing linework. And the depth and dimensionality in Day 4’s painting are captivating, as is the varied detail in each of the cactus pads. Brava, Sheila!
Haha, they might have been whooshed, Dotty. Honestly, I know I forgot on the abstracts.
Knowing that you will be looking is a nice reminder, “Don’t forget!” Haha
Thank you Dotty. 🙂
