Creative Heart Monday - Black Eyed Susans and Phlox

Happy Creative Heart Monday!!

My husband picked some wildflowers on the side of the road.  The colors were so beautiful.  I wanted to try to paint them.  As you know, I usually do not just use paint.....but, I gave it a shot!!




List of Supplies

8" X 8" wooden panel
White Liquitex Gesso
Liquitex Basics - Cadmium Orange, Red, Cadmium Yellow
Masters Touch - Light Purple Hue
Golden Fluid Acrylics - Quinacridone Magenta, Green Gold
Golden Glass Bead Gel
Black Faber-Castell Pen
White Gellyroll pen

At the end, I still wasn't happy with the painting, so I outlined all of the flowers, very loosely, with a black pen.....and, added a few highlights with a white pen.

Have a wonderful Monday and a great week!

PEACE!!

Lola's Garden Update

A couple months ago, my friend Candi, started creating a little memorial garden for her, beloved, Lola.  I helped her get it started.  We painted some vines and grass, but the rains came and we weren't able to get any further.

We got back to work today, painting flowers.  The flowers were a little more difficult than I thought they would be, but it's coming along.

We did have one little incident today.  There is a big, beautiful (some type of hound) dog that stops by every day to visit Candi's little dogs.  Candi was painting some flowers at the bottom of the wall and, evidently, they looked so real that  Jed, the dog, walked right up to them and lifted his leg. I guess he was doing his own spray painting.

Just like last time, the rain started around 6:00 putting an end to our painting day.  We still have more work to do, but here are the latest pictures.
