Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all good weekend! I'm looking forward to some time to relax, paint, read and to go with a friend for a nice Sunday dinner at my fave restaurant here.

Today I am linking another piece to Erika's seeing red challenge at AJJ. I found a huge sheet of paper (A1) in the art room which had been used as an underlay for a water colour piece and then discarded. I loved the coloured stains on this half of the paper, and decided to paint on it. There was also a white ring made with something like structure paste on it. I used the white ring as part of my eye, added a nose and a big, red mouth and painted lightly over some parts with a very diluted indian yellow. I had a lot of fun making this, just playing on a used sheet of paper, and it was very relaxing. I stamped 'vision'. The quote written along the right side is:'Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others'





Some of the lovely decorations in the clinic:







And some Funnies / Thinkies:











Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    I love the colors in your eye drawing, and the way the paint goes down. It's so beautiful, I love it.💚

    I like how you created a face without outlining the entire face. And those big red lips are great. And I'm glad you used that Indian yellow. Thanks again for joining in, and as you know, it is always appreciated. It sounds like you have a nice weekend ahead. Enjoy. Hugs-Erika

    This piece is fabulous! I love how you have drawn and painted the eye and the other features around it but what amazes me the most is your use of a piece of discarded paper. And how huge is it! To be able to see the ring as part of the eye and build up your painting around that and the other marks is brilliant. You obviously looked at it with the eye of a true artist. I am in awe.
    Hugs, Neet xx
    ps I thought you were home when I began reading - thanks for the pictures of the lovely touches at the clinic

    Lovely face. She seems to know things. The Peace Lily is beautiful. The Peace Lily in my studio hasn't bloomed for quite sometime. Enjoy your outing

    Hi Valerie, hope the meal was good. Loving how you used the mop up paper, looks great. Your funnies made me smile lots though I am fed up with the guys in the Supermarket shifting everything around just when I thought I knew where the donuts are Hee! Hee!. The clinic have some lovely stones and a great taste in plants too. Take care and have a lovely evening. Hugs, Angela xXx

    I do hope you enjoyed your weekend and had a lovely meal out with your friend today.

    I like your art and can really relate to the supermarkets changing things around!

    I enjoyed the way you recycled that paper. That always makes me happy. It was great how you treated that eye. I like the colors you chose in addition to the red of the lips. This is another great entry for Erika's theme at AJJ. Sorry I am late visiting. I've had company since Friday and they are now on their way back to California.

    Cute and adorable animals and a great Einstein funny.

    I like the effort they seem to make to have the clinic be a more comforting place.
