I just love the way paint puddles and highlights the texture of the gesso. I have inspirational stickers I am thinking of adding to these. Mmm… maybe I will add them to the back instead. Ha ha ha. Five more started last night. Hope you are enjoying some creative time as well!

Why is it so easy for me to forget how fun it is to use watercolor with gesso? Messy, uncontrollable… fun! I have about 18 of these started, making ready for two different swaps. The Global heART Exchange, and Pals Poist, with Jacinta Moore. Maybe I will see you there.

Pals Poist was created by Jacinta. If you are interested, check her out on Instagram. Each artist connects with individuals they would like to swap with. The swap begins in March. There is no theme, and you can choose how many you would like to swap with. If you are not on Instagram, but want to swap, let me know in a comment.

Enjoy!

This is really a pretty little painting. But the scan made everything neon. And this photo makes everything dark and dreary. I suppose that is fitting for Halloween.

I was craving some time with my brush, so I painted the little blue vase, and I started a larger piece. I made marks with an Inktense pencil. Felt better after, calm, so it was time well spent. A welcome break from tech chores.
