this darling painting via christina romeo
what can i say but orange sofa! via coco & kelly

these colorful mix of pillows makes my heart happy via in a state of luxe
and who can deny that a purple table is just fabulous? via frillie designs

flora bowley inspired

i painted again yesterday. it feels good. it has been such a long time since i painted anything larger than 8x10. literally since 2009! this one is 24"x24". i am so inspired by flora bowley's work that i just had to do one for myself. i really like how this turned out but i would love to get some brighter paint colors to work with. flora is in san francisco this weekend doing a workshop. wish i would have known earlier so i could have signed up!

happy friday!

i am so glad it's friday. i am planning on spending some time painting this weekend. i have been so inspired lately by the blogs that i visit. in particular, flora bowley. she seems to be everywhere these days. many people are taking her on-line workshop and creating fabulous flora inspired art. i even saw an article by her in this month's cloth paper scissors magazine. so i decided to do a flora inspired journal page but plan to do a larger painting on canvas this weekend. this is what i did last night with just paint and mostly my fingers! :)


also, last weekend i had fun with my art journal and created these pages:




this one has tons of layers of paint. i had an entirely different theme going and didn't like it so i just painted over what i had, dabbed off some paint with paper towel to get this really cool textured background.



this is one of my favorites, probably because it has my "hazel" in it. i am really trying to concentrate on having fun with my art and not worry too much about the outcome. enjoying the process is what i am after.


this one is not from my journal. it is my latest "hazel" piece. i love the colors and all of the elements on this one. it's called "i'm dreaming of a house on a hill". i need to print off those words and adhere it and then it's done.


that's all for now. happy creating!
