I have to apologize to myself, as there will be no post today. Too much working at Hudson's Bay!

Figure Painting with Watercolour

Here are a few quick figures with only six strokes. I can't remember where I saw this demonstration...but worth looking into.

2016 Christmas Card

Sometimes just when I think I've finished a project, I just have to add something more. Yup, the Christmas card needed a little black and a little bling. I'm giving it a rest now!

Here I Go Again!

The Christmas card! Every year I set myself up for the challenge of creating my family Christmas card. Actually, I have only done this once and I still purchased store bought cards. Well not me, but my wonderful hubby does! He usually gets these beautiful cards on sale during the boxing week sales. I really dislike waste. We have been moving around quite a bit, so he hasn't been buying mass produced cards.

Today, I sat down to create...I had fun and the creative juices just kept coming. I was looking for something "child like" and "happy". A mixed media "series" that I called "Peace, Love, Hope". 

I started with a template-watercolour base and torn paper. I made four (4) copies and hand wrote words, then on the top of the next four copies I printed with permanent ink the words hope, love and peace.  Here are my results!

I think that these cards would make lovely "hostess gifts" in a set.

Quadra Island

Here is a very loose watercolour, painted from a photograph that I took while on Quadra Island. It's a lot of green!

Doodling

Yesterday was Halloween and today was Frances' 4th birthday. Oh where does the time go? We enjoy all the festivities but had no time for art. I created this post on doodling for that reason when the brain is way too tired to come up with a creative idea....just doodle.

The art of doodling or dreaming with lines. A relaxing way to be creative and just let your pen decide.

Until next time....happy creating
