Happy Sunny Monday ya’ll!

Have I mentioned how much I love my new palette. OK, I think this is the third time, but I swear, it will be the last. I keep hearing “Oklahoma” in my head. There is so mush wide open space to mix paint! I still love the sketchers box, won’t be giving that up. Feeling grateful!

I started a series of these abstract landscape postcards. I have about a dozen 4 x 6 “scraps” from larger sheets. To be honest, my mojo is taking a siesta. I thought, “How bad can I screw up a simple postcard?” HA! Ha ha ha.

Out of eleven, I think I have three good ones. Not too bad of a batting average. Not great, but not bad. I think. I won’t do the math on that one.

It does mean that I can say I am two days ahead. Woo Whoo! But I will likely keep painting, and hoping for something better. I’ve got three busy days next week and that means my posts will continue to be sporadic.

My first #21 was this abstract collage. Well, it was abstract until I decided to put flowers on it. The start was just me getting every last drop of paint off my brush (from day 20). It was like the energizer bunny, it just kept going, and going, and going.
