Looking through the daily paintings, I was drawn to the plethora of floras. I tried to hold out until week two to start painting flowers. Here’s proof that I caved.

After struggling with reworking the cactus, I felt the need to loosen up. So I splattered some clean water on the paper. Splattered and spread paint. I worked fast and forced myself to STOP. Stop before I was lost in details. This is not as loose as I had in mind. But I am pleased with the result.

Hope everyone had a terrific weekend! Mine was pretty good. A visit from my brother and his wife, peaches and raspberry pancakes from IHOP, and a PBS Downtown Abbey Marathon. I couldn’t ask for more!

Happy creating to you!

Painting last night led only to complete disaster. I have three alcohol ink, and two acrylic pieces of yuck as proof. Oh well…

Today I started watching videos on working with alcohol ink. And after a couple of hours… finally I created something that I don’t have to be embarrassed about showing.

This was created on canvas. Wait, canvas? With alcohol ink? I saw a video where ink was used over a gesso base. I have two of these tiny canvases, and I thought, what could it hurt?

Here it is in the teeny-tiny fame that came with it. Too cute right? Whew, that is all I have to say. Now I can catch up on visiting the other artists blogs!
