paint party Friday...

 

 Welcome to paint party Friday, and my weekly painting post. I just did two painted sketches this week, and finished a fiber piece that was inspired by one of my paintings. 

The pink flower above was going to be a mandala, and I liked the simplicity of it, so I left it. 

I think I like the edge of the petals, and the mix of paint by dragging the brush across two pans at once. 

The other one was to be an experiment with mixing the two colors on one brush stroke, then writing over it... 

this is what comes of using a black marker without planning the sketch... weird body parts drawn over petals!! Still... I looked at it and thought, well, be flamboyant! Do... YOU! so I wrote that in and stopped fussing over it

she looks like someone I'd like to know!

I love this quote:

Robert Hayden said,

“Art is not an escape, but a way of finding order in chaos, a way of confronting life.”

 I've been working on a fiber art series inspired by a painting I did of a pink flower, and tomorrow I will do a whole post on this one. The painting was photo'd and printed in gray scale on fabric. Then I colored it in with prismacolor pencils, and made a quilt from it. That's tomorrow's post!
