Take Your Places

Happy Day After to all.  It was a great day.  I ate way to much.  We just sat around and talked and played a game.  Love listening to the kids talk to each other.  Lots of stories.  

Here is another one for composition.  Using the silverware is like drawing lines through the composition to divide up the space.  I am still exploring.  Might move onto the peppers I have in the fridge next.  

Enjoy the long weekend.

High Grass Trail

This is what my allergies just love.  Even though my eyes start to water I  think it is wonderful to be out hiking in the tall grass every once in a while.  

I enjoyed the handling and laying in of color with pastels on this and feel a little abstract application coming on.  I found myself working in vertical and horizontal strokes, loving the balance of each mark. I think what I love most about pastel is the fun of the application.

This was a fun DPW Challenge.  Basically paint it with Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna and White...Yes that's it.  More challenging than one might think.
