FACES on the last Wednesday in June, 2018...

 Practicing
on making
my faces 
 organic
or 
different
or loose...
Trying to make changes!


This little speedy ditty
is on a torn paper bag.
Trying to get a handle on
how to make more changes...

A FRIDAY, half way through June...

 a LONG time ago when I found an old piece of wood with nails sticking out all over...
I thought hmmmm…
YES! perfect for some cutesy mixed media painting. 
There are black and white beads hanging on the left,
if you can't tell.
This was very fun to complete!




 This week I had a 
"thank you" 
on 
Face Book
GIVE AWAY.
This was one.




 and this was another...
It was for the 
APPRECIATION
of all my supporters!




 And then
there was this.
There is gold leaf intermixed at the bottom
that doesn't show up in the photo.




 Every winner lives locally,
but for one, a niece!
So now all these people are coming over
and we get to visit!




 I never knew or thought
that so much delight
and endearment would
be attached to this episode.




Each winner left such beautiful
messages.
And with so much excitement!

The only sore point...
not having everyone win.
(sad face)

Did you ever do this about 8 years ago from your blog?
I did and had forgotten how rewarding
it can be!
I will undoubtedly do this again.

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERY ONE!!!

OH, THE COLORS on the first days of June, 2018...

 Magazine pages stacked
up to show you...
These are some of the ones 
I used yesterday to 
intentionally
daub paint
off of other paintings.




 While getting organized
for a new showing
in July...
I ran across this one painting that I really
never liked.
So...
I painted over it and am so excited as to how it appears now!




 This is a close up of the one above.
Trying to show you the wonderful textures
that appeared.
And
the colors peeking through now!




 Here is the next one I painted over
and am in love with the colors!




 There are 3 altogether,
over paintings.
These have left me open for 
WONDERS!




Using more of my left over paint.
Smooshing and putting them on top of one another.
Such fun!

 Then I found an huge 
charcoal paper.
And went to town on it while I had to take a phone call.




It's not like i'll ever run out of collaging
papers, EVAH!
But now I have new fresh ones and will probably weed out some oldies.
This is a constant
'doing'.

We just never know what tomorrow will bring.
And I will try to remember to show you 
the transformations...

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE
