Day 26 – 30 In 30

http://www.sheiladelgado.com/2014/09/day-25-30-in-30/

There might be one or two more of these. Paintings on this theme. I know I said I have enough. We’ll see what transpires.

I started this with my palette in mind. I actually had tried to use it during Leslies January Challenge. I still have two of those boards prepped and waiting to be finished. I found the color inspiration on Pinterest. A beautiful journal page by Roben-Marie Smith. I just love the messy, splotchy, warm feel of it.

I do wish my lettering skills were better. I have never been known for my penmanship. I remember once in grade school, must have been 2nd or third grade, a teacher commented on how bad it was. She was visiting our class, and I had just signed my name at the top of the paper. She was standing over me, and in a snooty voice, she said, “How can you even read who this is?” And my teacher said, ” Oh that is easy, that’s Sheila!”

I remember thinking, if I had all that space at the top of the page, I was going to use it. Paper is made to be used, right? To this day, I can never sign my name the same way twice. Just doesn’t happen.

I will never be a typographer and calligraphy is out of the question, even with a cheater, chiseled pen. I so admire those with the talent!

It would have helped, if I had a decent pen. All of my pens are dying… I need a pen sale fast! But even with my crookedy-second-grader writing, I like how this turned out.

Hope you will visit the gallery on Leslie’s blog today!

Heart on Blue. Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. 4 x 4 in. © 2014 Sheila Delgado

Another painting on the love theme, a possible candidate for, “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage”. There are about six to eight layers of paint on this. All the detail, and the heart wrap around the sides. There is bronze paint running through the heart, it never scans well. You can see it better in the photo below.

Bronze metallic paint catches the light.

I am thinking I need to add the word “Love” or “Joy” in the bottom left hand corner. I’d love to hear your opinion.

Happy day to you, and happy painting! Be sure to check out todays galley here.

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!
