Day 57-58

I have something new for you today, several layouts of a color palette I got from Milliande.  I am trying to come up with some unique ways to present the colors in a custom palette.  Here are a few of my current samples I made earlier today.  I'm not sure which one is my favorite, maybe this 2nd one which I used a paint drip brush to apply the color, but I like the grunginess of the 1st one.  It was made from grungy borders and the 3rd one is made from coffee stain brushes.  I like them all and will keep working with new ways to present the color palettes because I get tired of seeing the same things over and over again.  Maybe a variety is the best way to go.  :-D

Day 53

It's Photo Art Friday again over at Bonnies BLOG  This week her challenge is the word: Connected.  Since I posted the image earlier this week, (The Farmers Winter Field below) I will have to see what else I can come up with. 
Several weeks ago I was playing around with an assignment from Milliande's Self Exploration Workshop and this is another painting I did using some of the shapes from a doodle I made.  It says, "It takes a Village to Raise a Child".  I think it's appropriate for a challenge about being "Connected". 
This was my hubby's favorite of all the paintings I did last week.  Myself, I like the "3-Sisters", posted below. 

Day 40

A mini painting I did for Millinade's group for Assignment #4.  I call it: "Three Sisters of St. Mary's".  If you haven't joined this self-exploration workshop (it's free by the way-Milliande is so generous!) you should check it out.  It's not too late to join.  It's fun and you will find new concepts to explore.  This is nothing like what I would normally paint, but I so enjoyed the process of creating it.  It brought back memories of comfort and caring.
