I’m posting week two, and some extras. The server for my site was under repair for a few days. There may still be some hiccups. Fingers crossed.
I have transitioned from acrylics to watercolor. The acrylic pieces require so much time. And I had been posting really late each day. I still have ideas floating around, so I may be working with collage and acrylics again before the month ends. These are all 8 x 8 inches, except for the landscape. It is 4 x 4 inches.
The sedimentary paints created fun textures.
Thanks so much for taking a look. I’ll see you next week!
All so beautiful! I love the Fiddle Leaf Fig. Do you sell these?
Thanks so much, Karin. 🙂 I will be adding some of them in my Society6 shop.
I’ll let you know here, when they are available. (Right after I finish with the challenge group post and video.)
That is my favorite so far, so it will be for sale. 🙂
I’m so glad you like it too, Karin. 🙂
Yay! I was hoping I’d see a 2nd post of your Creative Gathering creations, and here’s the post!
Day 8—with a smile on my face, I flash to granny dresses (early 70’s?); makes me want to get out my sewing machine and take this fabric idea you’ve generated and whip me up a dress; maybe put some flowers in my hair, too!
Day 9—a cactus marching band in formation, horns blaring, tossing candy to the crowds cheering wildly!
Day 10—I never get tired of these succulent shapes and your deft definition of depth through color. The confetti splatter here adds to the feeling of joy.
Day 11—I love the way these blossoms seem to lean close to convey covert confidences. Love the subtle texture in the vase.
Day 12—Skillfully rendered soft spikiness and a strong feeling of color coherence here.
Day 13—ooooo, the leaves in this fiddle-leaf fig: SO captivating! I keep looking and looking at them.
Day 14—the abstracted ocotillo with its warm and cool greens and feathery floral fanfare: quite striking. (Love your signature here, too!)
Day 15—watercolor wonder! Well done, Sheila : )
Day 16—Let’s go for a walk!
Haha! I love seeing them through your eyes Dotty.
70’s patchwork yes! The long skirts my older cousins wore. That I snuck in their room to try on, and twirl.
Cactus band! Confetti joy! Thank you Dotty! 🙂
Sheila, these are beautiful as always! Delightful and cheerful!
Thank so much, Donna. :0 I’m so glad you think so. 🙂
Such beautiful work, Sheila, and may I say real growth is seen in your artwork. There’s confidence and more organic shapes in your compositions. You have such a great knack for color harmony and here in these works that really shows.
Thank you for that, Laurelle. I don’t feel like I am making much progress.
I’m stoked that you can see some improvement. 🙂
I think you have done some super work this last week, I especially like the two at the end of the first 2 rows and well s the landscape and the flower in the middle of the bottom.Well done!
Thank so much, Val. That means a lot coming from an instructor. Haha. 🙂
That flower, (which I think is supposed to be a geranium), I felt was such a failure.
It’s grown on me, now that some time has passed. It is so pleasing to hear you like it. 🙂
Awesome work. I really should be thinking of my collage and working on it as we go.
It always gives me a panic.
You must be pleased
Thank so much, Christine. Your work has been awesome. You have a great theme!
DO! 🙂 Start your collage. I dare you. Haha. I started mine a few days ago.
But I have to have mine done by the 30th, so I can work on the group gallery video. 🙂
