For my share the joy post this week I am happy to report I am finishing things finally.....Here's my latest painting finally finished, I actually finished two this week and will post the other soon. This one is slightly different for me... acrylics for one and no falling ladies or mandalas for another... just the Great Mother. This was done in the style where you just start layering colors with no real plan in mind... it had about 4 layers when I saw the Mother, then started painting around the flowers and figures. I really enjoy this style of art, it's fun and stressfree to work on.
I really enjoy these colors too, almost the whole thing was done using just black acrylic and then white acrylic mixed with watercolor crayons. I think I only used pink, purple and blue and green. So for the Artist's play room, those are me favorite colors lately, 4 shades mixed with lots of white to make them pale and soft...
yes there is great joy in creating...and completing our projects whatever they may be. love your painting here and the process of trust and discovery, the art of allowing!
