Fresh Start. 4 x 6 Acrylics on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

New sheet of paper, and paint in my palette. Couldn’t decide between brush or knife. So I went with my fingers. I knew I would get a completely different look.

Work in progress, acrylic on 12 x 12 gallery wrapped canvas.

I didn’t mean to be so stripey. So I will be doing this again. Another fresh start! You may not remember, But I created a background like this for a Scripture gift for friends. More what I had in mind. I used my fingers for that as well.

And it took two attempts to get it right.

Looking forward to more painting fun! Hope you are enjoying creative time, or maybe just relaxing time!

Thinking these must be starts. Incomplete abstracts. I have a few ideas of what I might do next. We will see if those ideas are still alive tomorrow, or if they are replaced with new ones. Used a palette knife to spread the paint. Getting more practice in.

I meant to add texture while the paint was still wet. As you can see I completely spaced it.

I signed up for a free workshop with Laly Mille. Follow the link for more information. I am looking forward to it. I am sure it will help keep my momentum going.
