Bubbles of Joy



 I took part in this a couple of weekends ago, see if you can find me. It really was a lot of fun. Although they let you embed this video it appears that you have to go to YouTube to watch it but its worth it so enjoy.




















I did another Fearless painting for Total Alignment. This time I got the bird in but not what I intended. I guess I should just stop intending anything. I think it the silliness of these paintings that make them so fun to do. Have you had any silly fun lately, I think its the best kind to have.




















I took my sketchbook and pencils to a cafe yesterday and this is what I drew,   It is definitely challenging when you can't erase. My little trick when I make a mistake is a little thinned out gesso. I think I need to find a tiny bottle to take along with me with my traveling kit.  This was sketched in a Canson mixed media journal. I have also discovered I really do like sketching on gesso. I have been using Liquitex brand for that and it works fabulously.

    Your silly fun is wonderful! We need to get together soon. I'm in the middle of a bit of a fibro flare, but when it passes, we need an art day FOR SURE!

    Hi Kate...I really like your "fearless" pieces. You must be doing that year long workshop. I like your idea about sketching on gesso.

    I hope you are having a great weekend!
