[Summer of Color.... week 6...]

Hard to believe that this is the final week
in the challenge...

Thank you SO much Kristin for taking us on
a fabulous color journey <3...

The colors for this week were...

orange + orange + blue...

and I have to admit that along the way
I found a new affection
for the color orange...

true... I use it as a flesh color...
but rarely in its deeper form...
and now we seem to have become friends...
I certainly plan to use it more...

here is my finished page...

thank you everyone for the beautiful comments
that you left me during the past six weeks...
I have definitely felt the love <3

happy week to you all

[Summer of Color... week five...]


Oh I loved this weeks colors
in the 'Summer of Color' challenge...

Green + Green + Pink...

Green is a favorite for me...
and Pink isn't far behind...

so it made it very enjoyable
to complete an art journal page...

I think the girl in my painting
was feeling the bliss of it all as well :)

Happy week everyone...

[Summer of Color... week four...] plus a girl or two...

Week four of the

 and this weeks colors were...

Red + Red + Metallic...

Yes....
I felt challenged again... lol
so...
I decided to keep it pretty simple...

red paint... red pencil...
and a silver metallic pen scribbled through her hair
and around her cheek...

the words read...
'A pop of sparkle was all she needed'..

and I thought whilst I was posting that
I would share a couple 

of
recent drawings...

this one a birthday card

for a very dear friend..

Happy weekend to you all...

[Summer of Color... week three...]

Week three of the
was to use

purple + purple + yellow...

Now purple is far from a favorite color for me...
I so rarely use it...

in fact I even struggled to find purple
in my stash of art supplies...

but here she is...
we made it through :)

Nice to be pushed out of my comfort zone...

[Summer of Color 5 challenge.....]

I'm late... I'm late...
with the lovely Kristin's
so here are week one and two together...
 
The challenge for week one was...
 
blue + blue + green...
 
I had actually forgotten just how
challenging it was to limit your color palette...
but I guess that is the whole
point of it :)
 
anyway
 this is how my finished page looked...
 
She's feeling a little blue...
 
and then the color palette for week two was...
 
pink + pink + orange...
 

I couldn't resist the fluro...
 
okay... back on track now :)
 
have a great weekend everyone...

[Girls.... girls and girls...]

I do love drawing girls...
 
and it would seem that is what
 
my art journal is being filled with at the moment..
 
they just keep popping onto page after page...
 
perhaps it is just the time alone with my journal...
 
 but in truth...
they make me happy :)
 
 I was super excited to see too...
 that the lovely Kristin's
Summer of Color 5 is set to begin...
I've participated a couple of times before
and am really looking forward to doing so again...
check it out here...

[A page... or two...]

There hasn't been
 
too much time
 
for play this week...
 
but happily
 
 my art journal and I managed 
a little time together :)
