Paint Party Friday


I didn't really do a whole lot this week... just a bit more watercolor doodling.  I love playing around with the lines and swirls and colors.  The designs were drawn with watercolor paint and markers, then the turquoise paint was acrylic paint around the design.  Enjoy! and Thank you! for visiting my blog!

Hi Marcia. I don't remember if I commented on this and the one of your living room on the flickr site, but I sure do like them! Thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm dying to go teach in Wisconson. Any suggestions as to where I might send a proposal? Thanks!

Thanks Jane, you are welcome. I am a big fan of your art! Have you heard of the valley ridge art studio? While I have not personally been there, I know that they feature many mixed media artists for workshops. I really HAVE to get out there soon! It's hard to do with a toddler.. I don't want to spend that much time away from her. Here is the link: http://www.valleyridgeartstudio.com/Default.asp I bet you that you'd fit in well with their style of art. If you do end up scheduling a class there during the school year, I would also LOVE LOVE LOVE to have you come visit my elementary art classroom and do a tutorial/artist residency type thing. We are probably about an hour from the valley ridge studio. Have you ever done that before and if so, how much would you charge? Anyways, thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog :)

There is nothing wrong with a happy watercolor doodle, especially one as cheerful as this.

Doodling is fun and I too am beginning to find this out. Something always comes out of doodling. You have a lot going on in your painting. Very nice. Happy PPF.
