    SOC4: week 6

    July 14, 2014 - By 

    Oh so sad…this is it…The Summer of Color is finished. Thank you, Kristen, for once again bringing us this great summer challenge.

    Behold our last set of colors….IMG_0039Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

    I immediately thought of a hibiscus. 1hibiscusflowerphotocredit

    My drawing skills aren’t the best but I think given the size and shape this is a pretty good interpretation of one.soc4w6The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.

    I love it…a nice tropical flower on a cool July day in Minnesota.

    When I saw the red I knew I’d be using hearts on my page. I have a tiny bit of the light blue as wings on one heart. I tried to keep it to just a pop of that color this time. 20140707_5790

    The words are just something silly that jumped out at me from a book page.

    SOC4: week 4

    June 30, 2014 - By 

    I can’t believe The Summer of Color is nearing it’s end…or am I just being a glass half empty sort of gal today?  Regardless…here we are already at week 4 of 6.

    I took the liberty of choosing a brighter pink…mainly because from the computer..down the stairs to my art zone…I’d convinced myself that it was the neon pink color that was needed. 20140630_5607Not sure why…maybe I was having a 1980’s flash back.  Mallrats… Day glo…. Hypercolor…acid wash denim…  Anyone with me?

    20140630_5611This little bit of text happened to fall into my lap…. I thought it was fitting.
