Hi Everyone ...
Hope all is well in your little corner of the world. I'm missing connecting with you through Photo Art Friday and seeing all your creatively-edited photographs. I'm still planning on bringing PAF back for June 14th (June 13th for early-birds). The optional theme or challenge for that date is at the end of this post.
In the meantime, I'm still caught up in a painting frenzy - experimenting with as many new styles, tools and techniques as I can manage. I tend to get a little obsessive when it comes to my creative outlets. Hope to have it under control soon! :)
Backgrounds done ... now what? Creates a lot of excitement and even a bit of anxiety as I face the 'blank' canvas! :)
Here's an easy one that's finished. While easy, it does take thought and time to choose the right colors and divisions. The thin black line was suggested by my personal art consultant (my supportive DH!) and it adds just the right touch in my opinion.
Here I took a little 'walk on the wild side'. I knew I wanted to pair shocking pink and a vivid orange, but it took a while to get the proportions devoted to each color the way I wanted them. On an impulse I mixed paint with a special pouring medium and let it flow down from the top. Probably ruined the entire piece. But I'm learning what I like, what's possible and above all I am slowly learning that I have to know when to stop! It's a bit like learning when to stop adding ingredients to a favorite dish! Knowing when the piece is complete and that I need to STOP seems to be my biggest challenge right now!
If you take the time to add a comment to this post, I'd love to hear what you have been up to of late. Please take a moment to share! :) I'm happy I took some time off but I'm really feeling out of the loop.
Here's a lovely little texture for you:

Here's a view of the studio from a couple of days ago.

So, since Photo Art Friday link-up gallery returns in only three weeks (June 14th), we need an optional theme or challenge for the photo art to be showcased ... Hmmmm ... how about:
Dreamy or Ethereal
Looking forward to seeing all your submissions to our virtual photo-art gallery in June!
