This week, a collection of simple things: tiny vignettes of gratitude for the little things I enjoy. 4 x 4 inches, acrylic on recycled chipboard.
(Holy brick wall, Batman. This painting every single day thing is every bit as challenging as I knew it would be. Despite all my “no pressure” talk, I have the crazy wish to focus on paint this month, so every time I am about to post an art journal page I feel like I’m cheating. Not because the sketchbook doesn’t count, but because sketching and on-the-fly art journaling is easier for me, and I want to push myself into making the time for the paint I’m craving. So although I’ve busted on the “every day” bit, I’ll keep sharing what comes.)




I love the idea of depicting simple things, and this little study is a wonderful start! nancy
I love your little thread painting! It is such a simple thing, but I love what can be done with it! This should be a fun series!
I love your thread painting too…nice composition too ~ :)
You painted the simply things, but they were not that easy to paint, really. They still required a lot of skills.
Beautiful art- the shading the colors the brushstrokes- wow!
I am a huge fan of Spools!!! these are so fantastic!!!!
I have a cupcake tutorial to share with you…so pop by!!!!
I think it’s interesting that you are not necessarily craving what comes easiest for you. I like that and think you are right to push yourself. Can’t wait to see what transpires!
I love this little painting. The colors are beautiful! I’ve tried doing challenges like this. It was so hard for me. I think you are doing great. Keep it up!!
darling painting! i love these spools!
This is lovely. I know that feeling about painting, It is so hard to get started, but then so rewarding when it starts to flow.
Beautiful. I love the textures and the great shapes you created with the folds of the tablecloth and the lines of the table.
