I did painting today! Got the easel out and everything! I am an artist type ::grin:: It's not finished, but I'm happy with what I managed to achieve :D
Dragged out the pastels I spent so much money on several years ago and started playing with line and shape. I started with a very vague flower and just drew. I had no idea where I was going and still don't really, I just drew. I chose blues because there is a purple flower in our backyard that I liked the colour of and I've been using a lot of red and green lately (and I need to buy some purple pastels) and a change is as good as a holiday. Also, because I couldn't put my pastel collection down within reach of little KJ, I was restricted to the colours I could hold in one hand. So a little bit of a challenge.
Of course, because Mummy was using pastels, KJ had to use some too and being the arty little two year old she is, she made cake ::grin::
She's the one who said it was cake :D

It was a great day. KJ ended up covered in black pastel and it was straight into the bath for her before anything else that night.
ReplyDeleteThanks for watching :D

That's beautiful. I love swirls. I keep coming back to them in my mosaic (bummer cos they are hard to do well in mosaics!). Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog...means a lot to me :)Good to 'meet' you xx
ReplyDeleteI'm just high on colour and discovering a new way to do art (for me). I'm still working on this piece and it is still evolving.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have mosaics on my list for learning as I've had an idea for a piece for years now. I have no idea whether I'd be able to ever pull it off, but I will learn enough to attempt it one day :D
Thanks for visiting my blog :D I'm new on the block and still getting to know my way around.
Looking forward to reading more about you and your creations.
