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....

A gloriously bright corner where I imagine snuggling up with a good book. I hope it brings you joy. - Asta x

3/365 paintings - Lynda by default

I thought I was painting myself but apparently (according to my kids) I might have painted my friend Lynda. We have often been mistaken for each other. Once a lady said to me, "I have been to lots of your funerals." I was a little confused - what??? - until I remembered the similarity between Lynda and myself -in our appearance and our work in the same church. Lynda is an Anglican priest and I was honoured to briefly support her as her assistant. I miss her now that I have moved, but we did talk on the phone for well over two hours just the other day.
