Good morning you all. After days of rain, cold and wind, it seems to be a really hot and sunny day out there. On Staurday we were freezing with just 11°, today it's already 24° and it's still early. Today is Monday, and is time for the *Summer of Colour* again, hosted by Kristin. This weeks *task* was to use pink in all its variations. I painted 3 pictures in all, one of which I showed on Friday for *Paint Party Friday*
The first one was inspired by a Beatle's song again, *Let it me*, so I painted a pink madonna complete with the text of the song, which is a song I like very much.
The second picture is another pink lady, who forms the right part of the triptych.
And here are all three pictures together.
I used a mixture of tempera, acrylic and metallic paints, and I think I have now painted enough pink to last for a while....
And as I had some time yesterday I made a card for the *Less is More* challenge, in the hope that I have followed the sketch this week correctly and will not have to sit on the naughty step again....
So, that was it for today! Have a great day, take care, and thanks for visiting!
So pretty in pink. Love all your ladies and the card is very elegant.

I believe that's the first time I've ever seen a pink Madonna, you're so creative.
ReplyDeleteI love your pink Madonna. A beautiful triptych. I think I may be all pinked out for a while. Everything I have done lately has been dripping in it! Must be something sub-conscious there! ;-) Julie

Valerie - your "Pink Ladies Tryptich" is wonderful! Summer always makes me in a Beatles mood! I am giggling at you on the "naughty step"! Have a good week - with yellow. Sunny, cheery yellow which is a wonderful colour for all but clothing!
ReplyDeleteSandi, how right you are! I would never wear yellow, although I love it!
ReplyDeleteI like your three pink paintings. I rally like the hearts and flowers on the right hand painting. I love the Madonna with the text underneath. I like how the two ladies on the sides are looking toward the middle.
ReplyDeleteI love your ladies and the brightness of them all!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the triptych! All three work wonderfully together. Love your ladies! Beautiful shades of pink and wonderful designs. Gorgeous work, Valerie! :)
