Paint Party Friday

Friday once again!
When I worked 9 to 5 in my little cubicle, I looked forward to Fridays.
I'm no longer punching the clock (at least for now)
but there's a new reason to love Fridays.
Paint Party Friday of course!

My sunflower was going to be for Inspiration Avenue's
"Sun Kissed" theme, but now I have another idea for that.
It involves something I started a long time ago,
and I'm hoping to have time to finish it before Sunday.

The sunflower needs some more work.
I'm not really happy with it.
It's acrylic paint on bristol board...
I think I can add a bit more paint
without the paper breaking down.

Visit Kristin's and Eva's
 to see some amazing art of every description!

  2. very pretty! I like the veins in the leaf. Since you said you weren't happy with it, maybe add some more layers? perhaps yellow? I like it! Marcia

  10. Your sunflower is gorgeous! I can relate to being anxious to finally get to paint on the weekends and getting out of the cubical.Luckily mine's a workbench instead of cubical and I get to solder and make electronic stuff so I still consider it like art, its all FUN! Deb
