paint party Friday

 welcome to paint party Friday when we watch paint move around on paper

this week I did one plein air painting,  some expressive work in a workshop, and three bookmarks

made from this tutorial by Shayda Campbell... so easy...

 I tore a sheet of watercolor paper in fourths and painted. Now I think I might want to add something else maybe... crystals? threads? and send them to friends.

I was inspired by the sprinkler in our back yard last weekend to paint something to capture water droplets...

 the workshop I took wasn't all I hoped for but it did cause me to start this

we were to add a section a day for the 8 days, but I went off on a tangent. The blue section represented the flow of creativity, the rocks are roadblocks and I labeled my roadblocks... then on the next section I added in how to get around the roadblocks...

the last section on this side was to imagine your crown of power if you were queen...

 

by now I was done with the course but on the back I'll put something now and then, I quite like the format of accordion folding stiff paper and painting in sections to stand up on a desk.

quote from Ave Mateiu

I thought I'd put the phrase, reality is overrated but when I googled color quotes I saw this one:

"Broken crayons still color" and it resonated with me. I am not as good as I could be, or paint as often as I'd like, my supplies might not be just right, my body is broken, my spirit is skint, but I can still paint. I can sew, and write and tell a joke. 

what does that phrase mean to you?
