Wind blows cold, alone
they stand, branches reach as if
they are holding hands.

We made it! High fives all around! Yes, that means everyone who took Leslie’s challenge, even if you did not post everyday, or produce a full 30 paintings. Effort counts!

My painting today is another save. Actually I think I started three different times on this canvas. It has been sitting for months in between.

There is a grungy black, mucky mix as the base. I had too much turquoise from a piece I was working on the other day. Can’t waste paint. So I spread it on the canvas with a palette knife. I let it dry a bit, and then made scratch marks. I just now am realizing, I maybe should delineate the trunks that are overlapping.

I started the trunks by dripping paint, for a random placement. Then went back with a brush to add width to them. The branches and trunks wrap around the sides and top.

My Pinterest board for this event is bursting with over 1200 pieces of art.

I attended Terri Sproul’s Art Journal Class. It was LIVE on YouTube. OK, I am really behind the times, because I did not know you could do a live class on YouTube. How awesome is that! Terri holds this class every Tuesday at 6 pm pacific. She was so much fun, and she shared so much information on products and how to’s. Click on the link, and you can watch all of her classes.You really should think about checking it out!

I don’t have an art journal, so I worked on some loose pages. I think I am going to use my sketch pad as a journal for now. That should work. I don’t know why I never considered doing an art journal before. I do really like the idea of allotting time each week just for creative play.

This is the beginning of my pages, I have a few more ideas I want to play with. I need to add some more dark areas, for balance. I found this great image in a magazine, and she was calling my name. She is a princess, and I am not really a princess type of girl, but the artwork is gorgeous, so there it is. I am trying to contact the artist, and if she gives the OK, I will show you the pretty princess when I post the final piece. Do you like them so far?
