    Two blue challenge

    July 10, 2013 - By 

    birds on a wireI know that title looks like I don’t know the difference between two and too but in this case two is the proper usage.

    The challenge was to use at least two different blues in your artwork. I used way more than two.  🙂

    After I got all the background finished it looked like a sky to me. Since I have some fun bird on a wire washi tape I painted in some telephone poles so they’d have somewhere to perch. The plane was an afterthought but I think it was needed to give some depth to the page.

    I imagine myself laying on the ground, listening to the birds in between planes coming in for a landing at the nearby airport.

    Tell it all Tuesday

    July 9, 2013 - By 

    flyingI’m not starting something new with this, as much fun as it could be, but I did want to share something from last Tuesday.

     While Big J and I were at the orthodontist, Mr. G took Little J for a sight seeing flight. Little did he know that the pilot would hand over control to our 10 year old.airstrip That’s my baby girl in the pilot seat, flying a plane!! Yikes! She couldn’t even see over the dash. What an awesome experience for her. I’m just glad that I wasn’t given anytime to think or worry about their adventure. I was busy with the boy, otherwise I’d have been a nervous wreck!

    SOC3: Candy Apple Red & Yellow

    cherries red and yellow red and yellow quote

    Time is flying!! It’s week 5 of Summer of Color already!

    These colors always make me think of feed-sack cloth, vintage aprons and kitschy kitchens.

    So what else could I do but an ode to a simpler time.

    Not wanted to waste the extra paint I scraped it on another book page. After finishing the cherries page I love the look of the pages so much I decided to dress it up a bit .

    It’s a two for one this week.
