Tropics
It’s been tropically hot this week, so to bring that forward through my art I’ve gone Mexican! My girl is done with bristol board scraps (perfect for a quick evening painting.) and embellished with fibers and flowers. She’s glued to a a painted journal page washed with two hues of blue and finished with the cool shade of forestation. I really like how this one turned out. I’m off now to do my Nordic Track work out and then work on a small piece I’m doing called “Window Box.” I’ll have that one done soon and put it up for you to see. Stay as cool as you can! Think – ICED TEA! =)
Kids at Play
This was just a goofy sketch that made it into my art journal of kids at summer play. I give them googly eyes for fun. It’s just a simple watercolor with gel pens dressing the kids up. Silliness at it’s “finest?”
Taj Mahal
This was a challenge working with Twinkling H2Os and Metallic Gel Pens. I killed a few pens with Gesso damage. If anyone knows how to prevent or cure that please let me know. This was fun to do as I got to mix some embellishments into the girl for added pizzaz. (I LOVE embellishments and they are one of my weaknesses while shopping.) I think she turned out rather sweet.
Pretty in Pink
This was done with my new pencils. I got to play with some new colors and had a blast. I was working in very poor lighting but all things considered she’s still pretty happy to have a new colored pink dress and some lovely flowers to pick. These are all journal entries and I will be working on a few larger pieces this week now that I have received all my wonderful supplies. If I don’t come up for air …. send help! or food! =) Happy Monday and Happy August, catch some sun while it’s still Summer!
