Celebration: First Paint Journal Complete

All pages filled… back and front… this is the last painting… Martini on Table

This is the first painting… notice the bottom of the same chair design and this time Coffee on Table…

Failed Art Challenge

I tried… painting reflections on metal is not easy… trying is the important thing…

Here’s the photo prompt … ice bucket…

I will keep trying and learning with each art challenge… on to the next…

Cake… Mocktail… Colored Pencils

Mashed three photos together… eating cake… drinking a mocktail or cocktail and drawing on the paper topped table with colored pencils…

Give kids crayons to keep them busy in a restaurant… ADULTS TOO… I used to love to scribble on the big sheets of white butcher paper… FUN!

Excited to see new photo prompts next week and to paint some photos I have saved… LOVE LOVE LOVE creating art!!!

Oranges

Orange you going to ask me what art supplies I used to create this art challenge… silly me… I couldn’t resist… and of course I’m going to tell you about this painting… it’s mainly colored pencils… only the background color and shadowing is watercolor…

Lots of colors… shades to blend together… I’m trying to figure how to do it successfully… I’m happy with my recent attempts on this painting and two others. I have a lot to learn… I’m always learning!

Here is the photo challenge prompt…

On to more creations!

Groovy Days

This paint challenge brought a smile to my face... ohhhhhh the 70s... lava lamps... flower child... hippie mom... daisies... peace signs... and great music... I can hear great songs moving with the flowing lava...

Funny thing... I never had a lava lamp but I bought them for my boys' bedrooms when they were young... 

Good times!!!

 

Ready for Coffee

I really love painting different mugs… of course my love of coffee makes it soooo appealing… 

The photo prompt for this art challenge actually had two options… One mug with one background and a mug and small pitcher  with another background. As  you can see above, I opted for the mug solo but I used the background for two items. I’m glad the challenges I participate in allow for your own interpretation…
