10/365 paintings challenge - Lady in Red.

I took my daughter out today so I was late painting.  After my initial panic that I wouldn't get it done, I settled down to a wonderful night of painting. That said I really hope this doesn't happen to often. I much prefer to paint before I go out then I don't have it hanging over me. That makes it sound like a burden, but it is more like an itch I have to scratch.

Peace and joy,

9/365 Paintings Challenge

I had a friend in this painting...she just gave me so much joy. May you feel the same.

Can you help me name this painting? I'm thinking it could be the subject's name.

8/365 Paintings Challenge.

I'm calling this one Fancy Pants Valance. It was inspired by gypsy style bedding I'd seen in a book. Its about A5 in size because I'm low on supplies. I will have to restock ASAP. Thankfully a friend is bringing around some preloved acrylic paints on Friday.

I have to share that Blue Eyed Hippy has an admirer and is sold. I am thrilled. She's going to a lovely home!!!

Peace, joy and colour,

7/365 paintings challenge

A storm has  dumped its rain on us. It is hot, humid and dull outside but the plants are glistening, and with uncontrollable fires in a favourite part of Australia at the moment, I am giving thanks with colour.

6/365 Paintings Challenge - Epiphany

We sang carol's at church today - The Epiphany of our Lord, and I was happy to be an Anglican. I love the long Christmas season. So in honour of all that ( and what I have been meditating on) today's subject of my painting has been named Epiphany.

Peace and all good dear friends,

Day 5/ Asta's 365 Paintings Challenge

Blue Eyed Hippy.

She was inspired by Sumara Brown - who looks good in a hat, and face painting Kristie Pansini.

Thanks for all the Facebook support!!! I value each and every 'like' and comment. Today was hard. Trying not to think about the next 360....
