Let's go! above is a sketchbook painting one morning. Instead of a neurographic abstract I drew a bottle then random lines crossing. Paint with windsor newton watercolor pens and water brush
this tine Ill start with fabric scraps... lots of hand embroidery/stitching on works in progress.
at the start of may I turned really little scraps into this 15" X 19" work (on Right) and may join it to last month's piece , for now It's a flimsy....
the strip project on the upper left here started in Zen Stitch workshop, tiny strip to tiny strip then hand stitching
 |
| that is no fun |
 |
| paint pastels on paper |
one lesson using stamps inspired a lot more use of them in different ways...
she looks as over it as I feel now. The triangle strip became a sort of bush there
 |
| I tried another stamp using this inkpad |
 |
| free form rose |
morning pages using caron d'ache crayons and posca pens for dots
another morning page, painting in diagonal diamonds and using the same stamps
 |
| playing with the windsor newton watercolor pens and water |
the pigment flows if pushed with the brush. I see kind of a cat on the left
 |
| more morning experiments with color... Pretty Mess |
this time while the page was very wet I tried lifting color with a dry stamp

Orange isn't my favourite colour, but I do like it when it's all together like this. Love your roses in your paintings.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your hand-stitching on the quilted blocks -- took me back 60 years to when I learned hand-stitching and hand embroidery in 4-H. I recognized chain stitch right away! And I also love your free form rose, and the stamped piece with your sketch of the the woman who "looks as over it as I feel now." LOL!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the rose! Nice!
ReplyDeleteYou do such wonderful work, LeeAnna!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a bit done on every front. A very creative week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. Orange IS one of my favorite colors! You always seem to get so much art done. I enjoy seeing it all thank you.
ReplyDeleteLOVE all that ORANGE stitching and those lovely paint pages, too!!
ReplyDeleteYour orange projects are full of energy! I like the improv one with all kinds of stitching on it. I'll enjoy seeing your painting of sweet Alfie!
ReplyDeleteAll your work is beautiful, I love the paintings and I can't wait to see Alfie's face painting ;) I love your hand stitches too, and all the projects on your design wall. Thank you for sharing your creative week and linking up.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun and interesting to see the variety of projects you come up with. I LOVE the orange fiber project. It made me smile, so bright and cherry. We've had way too many dark and dreary days of late, so your orange was like a bolt to me. Keep up the good work.
