Sum-sum-summertime!

"No time to work, just time to play because it's summertime"

Haven't had much time for painting this week.  I did paint this one on my 16"x22" yupo paper.

I had done the background a couple of weeks age and added the sailboats yesterday.

When I do backgrounds on yupo, I have to spray and spray...and spray it with workable fixative in order to seal it.  After I seal it, I paint it with a matt medium to make sure no paint  seeps into the next layer.

Wishing all an enjoyable summertime and happy PPF

Both of these are cattleya orchids but very, very different.

Headwinds

2019 has been one of those rare years that has presented us with a collection of physical issues.
My husband refers to them as "headwinds".

Not an excuse for not being around, mind you but when given the choice of blogging OR painting...guess what I chose?

I have had a nice season with my art.  I sold a few and have had work accepted in every show that I have entered.  So, today I will share a bit of that with you.

This is a resin covered collage.  I call it "yikes!"

Another collage called "Pri-merrily"

And yet another collage called "Vor-text"

And then there is the painting I did one afternoon when both my husband and I were miserable

I call this one "pain"

So that about sums up the past few months.  I have been lurking about and enjoying everything you all are doing.  Wishing everyone a Happy Paint Party Friday.

And from the garden this morning...triplets!  I love it when that happens.
