A learning experience. Yup. Ugh. Those flowers. Those leaves. Ha ha ha. I fussed too much. Still, overall, I am happy with this. 🙂 Took much longer than it should have. I blame Mingus.

Several months ago I bought a snake plant. I have been a doting plant mother, eager to watch new leaves grow. They seem to grow quickly at first, then they sort of rest for a bit. And before I realize it, they are the same height as older leaves.

In day 1, I used a honeycomb stencil. I thought it was perhaps too soft. On today’s piece, I think it is too dark. Tomorrow I should get it just right. Ha ha ha. There is white pen outlining some of the circular shapes on the top left and right. It shows up more in life. I also used it to define the line of the table.

I am so inspired by the work of Janet Bradish. She has taken part in previous 30-day challenges, and each day I could not wait to see her piece. She often uses patterns in her paintings. Her blog shows her work for the challenges. Great textures!

The Creative Challenge group is 73 members strong!
Thanks to everyone for making it a success. Your enthusiasm is awesome!

Come Look At The Clouds!

Oh ! It’s such a beautiful blue sky!
Where the clouds make their hive
And a joyful experience
To sit and spy.

No rain. But how can I complain about a view like this?
