First Day Of February

Hello, this week I have a group of greeting cards and a couple of paintings.  I can't believe how quickly January came and went! I found a few days for painting.  Below are different projects, some done with Creative Jumpstart 2018 hosted by Nathalie Kalbach and some cards done for friends and relatives.  I have been practicing some of the new techniques that were shown in CJS.  I especially like the many layers with paints of all types(watercolors,acrylics, sometimes mixed together or with inks) stamps, stencils, and some collage. Drips, drops and splatters are fun, too!  Happy Paint Party Friday!     

CJS Project with Cathy Scanlon  Liquid watercolor blended with white paint.

Gone for over a month!

Hello again, Paint Party Friday Friends!  I have been doing some art all these days I have been gone.  Although I had an invalid friend stay with me for ten days, then hosted my book club Christmas party, then Christmas and New Years (like all of you!).  My paintings since I was last here. 

Well, that is it for now. I am participating in Creative Jumpstart 2018 hosted by Nathalie Kalbach.

Many of these pieces are from that on-line workshop.  I have been posting on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and my Pinterest page.

Have a good week. I hope to catch up with everyone soon.
