Thought about naming this Girls Just Wanna have fun. But that seemed really long for a title. Instead I took a line from the same song. Saved myself one word. Two if you count the grammatically correct title. But I think most would remember the “wanna” better.

I feel like I should call this a WIP. I am not sure what yet, but it feels like it needs… something. It turned out completely different from what I had in mind. Was thinking soft and wispy, dreamy. Ethereal. HA! Got cartoony-folksy instead.

So if anyone asks. I will say, I meant to do that. 😉

I had fun working on it. Until my back started hurting and my eyes decided they wanted to shut. But really, had fun with the process. I meant for the small patches of green to be more of a large solid block, fading in and out. HA!

I painted the green on to some gauze, and then pressed it on the paper. And you can see, I basically got green-gauzy fingerprints. Needed a brayer.

I applied the background with balled up gauze, and I really like how the edges show the texture in some areas. Maybe I need to add a few leaves to the stems, side view. Oh, and I meant to add some black random lines…

So. Had fun. Not unhappy. Merely contemplating. Happy to have any suggestions that come to mind!

Ok Karin, I have to fess up. The answer to your question is yes. Yes I am bleary eyed. I forgot to post the links the last two days. I am way behind on visiting blogs and pinning to my board.

But I am going to get to bed a bit early tonight. And I am several paintings ahead. (Still painting because I am not sure I really like them.) Road trip on Friday, back on Sunday. Trying to get my posts written and ready to go.

Does this read rambly? It does. I sound like I am on a Will-Smith-Benadryl-High!
