is it really october?
yes!
this week is my birthday and
i am doing a lot of celebrating.
but still have time to create.
here are a few teabags i painted.
i never felt this was finished so in my weekly workshop
i decided to work on it and do something different.
i learned a new paint application. where you roll a round brush
in several colors and then roll it on the canvas. the instructor
said this is in the style of monet.
still a work in progress with lots more layer yet to go.
i reserve judgement of the result so far but am enjoying
the process.
today i link with paint party friday, a weekly community
of creatives hosted by kristen and eva. i hope you get a moment
to visit.
have a lovely weekend!
Wow!! These are all stunning. I really like this idea of rolling the brush in paint. It is the entire brush handle and all right?
ReplyDeleteGo, Irene! Happy birthday and a joyful year ahead. Love the latest t-bag ladies.
