Am I every glad I did a bit of work last week when I had some time, because I certainly haven't had time to paint today! I spent most of the morning at the Creston Public Library setting up a new art display and then part of the afternoon my husband and I were down in the crawl space under the living room checking and fixing insulation. We are always trying hard to become more energy efficient.
At any rate, last week I spent some time in my studio cleaning up and I found some interesting pages in an old book I have been using as a palette. I have never been one to let 'interesting' go to waste so...

| Book Art #8 With Flowers |
I stuck a page from the book onto a white painted gallery wrap canvas, added some of my paper flowers and Quilling paper and voilà - a finished painting!
I hope that I get some time tomorrow and some inspiration so that I can really get into the spirit of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.
And it came out beautifully!! Love using those "interesting" pieces! Happy 2016!!

I know you do Jackie - so much fun!
DeleteBTW - thanks!
DeleteWhat creativity. Kind of like a cook turning whatever I to a beautiful meal. Lovely collage, nice work Val
ReplyDeleteThanks Nelvia - I leave my creativity in the studio, never use it in the kitchen - lol
DeleteMe neither, that is my husband's domain and he does it so well, no wonder I am chubby.
DeleteLOL - I do the cooking but just the basics
DeleteLove all that wonderful texture! And your flowers and ribbons are so delightful Val!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. the background only looks textured but it works well with the 'texture' of the flowers and Quilling.
DeleteSome days it is hard to find the time to paint. I like how you combine ideas to create your pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan. I am lucky to live in an area where there are a lot of artists to learn from - every thing from fabric painting, mixed media to straight watercolor - you name it we probably have someone who does it!
