Seeing the paintings together like this just reminds me how fast time passes. Too fast! I am so thankful that you followed me through this month. The best part of the challenge is hearing from you! Your kindness and support are true blessings.
I started a Pinterest board at the beginning of this challenge, and I have 550 amazing pins on it! There will be more, as I add collages. You can also see the collages on Leslie’s blog.
Happy October and happy painting!
I just read that there are over 1000 artists taking part in Leslie’s challenge. That’s a whole lotta art goin’ on. We are half way through.
Today’s piece is a little bit collage, a little stamping, mostly mark making with paint. Back to the love theme, hoping to create a few more pieces this month for Brad’s upcoming book, “LOVE SAYINGS”.
Unfortunately the copper does not show in the scan. You can make out a few spots against the blue borders. It really adds some oomph in person.
Hope Monday is treating you well!

This is a quick project for a friend. Art for her guest bath. She requested red, and there is more red than pink, just doesn’t look that way in these images. The pink is actually a mix of magenta and copper, and it is much deeper, and only slightly metallic.
I painted these with twigs and an embossing tool on four scraps of watercolor paper. Watercolor, acrylic, pen, and collage. When they were dry, I used a stencil for the heart shapes. The bits that look brown, are actually copper and I wish you could see the light they add. I cut out words from a magazine. Happy, home, love and family, sweethearts, playful.
The frames are a mock-up, close to what she has, I was just curious. These are 4 x 6. I think they are going to look very nice. Have a great night, and enjoy tomorrow!
