Colorful world


Found some new cushions for the porch wicker.  I think I need to stop with the paisley.  I love these and don't care if they do take it over the top.






 Summer haircut.  I took this picture and the top picture through the back door.  

Riki thinks I might have gone a little overboard on the craft paint but I think all the spring color has inspired me to balance out my palette.  I bought some yellow, orange and red. I prefer craft paint over all others on the gelli plate.  Love the matte finish.  I will have to admit to all you Golden paint girls out there I just don't get it, too shiny for me.  I use liquitex heavy body for painting on canvas.  I also have a small collection of Winsor & Newton water mixable oils for canvas.  I love those.




 Can you smell these?  

My Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain book has helped me on this new project. I turned it upside down and sideways and the hand came out pretty good.

scary cloud

We not only have had snow this month of May we had this just outside our back door last night.  Midwest weather can be iffy.
