It has come to my attention that my images here are being downloaded without my permission.
I am a creative...I am a joyous person...I am usually willing to share all of me...and that is what blogging is about...sharing. But, this is the art that my heart puts forth...This is the art that I do because I know of no other way to live my life...So please, respect my art..please respect me and E mail me, via my profile page if you wish to download a painting that I have done...and we can chat.

Wallpaper

This week’s creative prompt is Wallpaper. Look to your own favorite papered walls for inspiration of pattern and color… use wallpaper scraps in your art… design your own desktop wallpaper… or perhaps feature wallpaper somehow in an illustration, painting, collage or sketch.

I took this opportunity to try a few different things that I was curious about. I used plaster to make the raised stencil and then laid the paint on with baby wipes...going over with different colors and wiping it off....Once done, I decided that my wallpaper needed a message! Although I only allow myself 10 minutes for these little 4 by 4 pieces...I am happy with the results and will try this process on a larger piece in the future.

Happy Easter to all who venture here.... And may you continue to GROW as we approach this time of renewal and rebirth of Spring!

Ink Blot...Stawberry

This weeks challenge was INK BLOT....Seeing as I do not have ink I used acrylic paint...
a couple drops of red..yellow and green...Of course it looked just like a ripe juicy strawberry! Did a water color wash for the background. I am going to try some more and see if something a little more CRAZY can come out!! This is great FUN!

In this second ink blot....I saw a Chinese mask!

Food for Thought...

It has been a long time since I did an IMT prompt...This week the prompt was kitchen...
I have been spending time in my kitchen, making some great soups and chocolate chip brownies..but I have spent more time typing on this machine!! So I have combined the two! This was great fun!

The Best of 2007

There is no way that I can pick just ONE thing that was the best of 2007.... So I will say this:
It was a year of growing...a year of giving to charity events for auctions...a year of sharing a bit of my heart to reach out to a family to heal...a year of paintings for new babies...and grand babies..
a year of creativity beyond my wildest imagination...of being published and honored by others and myself...A year of connecting with so many like spirits here at IMT!
Thank you all....
Artfully Yours,
Pattie
