I am stunned. Don’t get me wrong. That is not conceit. It is pure… well I’ll let Gomer say it.
This is really good.
My first try… not so much.

If you are on Pinterest, take a look at my fabulous art “collection”. At fifteen days, I already have over 200 pins showcasing artists who are participating in Leslie’s painting challenge. If I won the lottery tomorrow, my walls would be covered with these works of art.
You can take a look at Leslie’s daily offering here, as well as the gallery for the day. Thanks so much for visiting my blog, it’s always nice to hear from you!
If I could be,
under the sea,
I would float aloft the current
in the wonder of the dream.
Cool, calm, deep true dark.
I would travel the world,
to the oceans heart.
Heart of the ocean,
cobalt commotion,
share your secrets tonight.
Deep true dark,
oh I will never part.
In your embrace I glide.

Oh my gosh, Sheila! This one is SO pretty. Just look at how the paint reacted!! Love this one!
So glad you like it Joan. I am going to try a few more of these before the month is over.
Yupo is fun, isn’t it! Very nice coral under the sea painting, Sheila!
Thanks Jim! Have a super day!
I am impressed with the work you are doing on the Yupo, Sheila! The textures and colors you are creating give me goosebumps! Way to go GF!
Sandy, I thought of you when I saw how this was turning out. I don’t know if I can ever duplicate it, but I am sure gonna try!
Looks like your experimenting is paying off! BRAVO!!
Thanks Sandy!
The poem goes so well with the painting.
Thanks Karin
Have fun painting today
