Swirls.

How much did we LOVE Kal Barteski's class? How much do we love her TINY ART? ....these and Donna D's swatches are so inspiring to me right now. Last night I was too tired after work to really get going on a full-on project/creative session.....but I did sharpen all my watercolor pencils and started some mini-canvases of my own.... don't know if I will add them to my art journal from Inspired or use them as background papers for scrapbooking (likely not...why do I never do that?) or just make them individual works - maybe for cards or just inspiring words/phrases/thoughts to tack on my bulletin board. Lots of possibilities!

Love the CIRCLES and SWIRLS : )

Got Paint? Big Picture Scrapbooking Class...

...with Emily Falconbridge (goddess, she herself!) Whew. Signed in today - just under the gun!! I think the deadline to sign up is tonight? Get on over there and play along! http://www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com/gotpaint.php

So here is my start of the first project...an Art Journal (to hold all the paint techniques we will be learning over the next 4 weeks.) I started painting some chipboard letters for my cover title and realized I did not have an "L" - hence..."Journal" became "Journey" -- works for me!!

Love Miss Emily's style and OH MY the gallery is filling up with some GORGEOUS work. Inspired am I!

Painting inspiration

Had to post this pic...just loved this. When we were coloring Easter Eggs last week, my nephew David was very into painting an egg to look like a football ...(I think this boy has real creative talents....I am looking forward to more big things from him....but I digress....) anyway....David didn't last at the table as long as the rest of us....and after he left the room....I noticed his paint palette...

Doesn't it look like a CHOCOLATE BUNNY? (I added the eye and nose and pink part of the ear....but the rest was the random swirling of David's paint brush.)

Love that.
