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!

I had fun with this, and I like the softer palette. I am starting to like the painting. But I am having a hard time convincing myself that it is good.

Ever have that problem? Hands in the air.

Thought so!

I love the soft texture on the table. Botched the shadow though. Goofed again using white flowers. HELLO! Goofed on the nearly fluorescent green. (I do like it in the splatter.) Seriously thinking of doing the flowers over.  I’ll see how I feel about it tomorrow.
