| Garden in Bloom 30" x 22" Collage Painting on Paper |
Set a sheet of white paper on the table with the tools of your trade arranged within easy reach and paint all day. Cover the results with a coat of gesso and start over. Repeat 3 more times. Decide that this one won't be a masterpiece but it WILL be a fine birthday present for an appreciative granddaughter.
I struggled with this sheet of 300# watercolor paper for several days and nothing I did seemed to work. Finally I decided that some of the lines looked a bit like stems and some of the circles looked like flowers. A friend advised turning back to collage, so this is what resulted. It might be done. I might draw on top of it. I might move on.

I love them both! Especially love art with words in it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Joni, I love using words in my art whether they mean something or not.
DeleteI like it!!! This one is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. I looked at your Pearl blog. You've done a great job fixing up that 61 RV.
DeleteWhat a happy piece, makes me smile and I'm sure your granddaughter will too!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's happy, and I'm happy that it's finished. She'll love it.
DeleteJo, I'm sure your granddaughter will be delighted with this piece. It is fresh and young and makes me feel joyful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement, Robyn. I sure hope she likes it. Who ever knows with teenagers? The colors are right and I think it'll look great once it's framed.
