Day 28

Making marks....is my favorite thing to do when painting...
Here, a simple line takes the show.

Marks are my go to when it seems that nothing is working out....or when I get lost and have no idea of what to do next.

Until next time,

Day 27....

Nothing makes a month fly by more quickly than a challenge.
I am not sure of what it is...maybe simply documenting the days or what...but this month of painting daily seems to have slipped right by.

What I have found to be the best part is that I have simply been more experimental...not really caring about the end result and just enjoying the process.

Until next time,

Day 26 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days...

Good Morning...
I lost count...sigh....
I have been painting daily and realized today that I have failed to post...that is my norm.  It is a tough balancing act - paint, social media, promote, blog, post and reply to comments...know what I mean.
I am usually only good at painting daily and not all of the other stuff that goes along with it.  Am I the only one that struggles to keep up with everything?

Its Monday, and after a busy weekend away, I kept things simple...as I was just so tired this morning.

Anyways, have yourself a great day.  Lets show Monday exactly who is Boss.

Until next time,

Kindness Matters

Good Morning Blog Friends....

Hope that this day finds you all doing well.

Here in the studio, things are cranking along - at quite a high speed, it seems.  Some days I find it hard to keep up, but I keep plugging along here.

I wanted to share this video from my Youtube channel, and hope that you will have a peek.

I truly enjoy playing in my art journal.  Just a way to enjoy experimenting with my supplies.  I find that I simply love the process.

Enjoy the video!!

Questions or comments - just ask!

Day 16....

Happy Friday, Blog Friends...
Hope that you all have a fantastic day!!

After todays painting session, I made myself put these colors away!  I just get stuck sometimes, but I thoroughly love this color combo!!  These little 4x6 are available in my Etsy shop under card bundles.

Side note, do you have an art tribe??  You know, good friends that share your passion for art...maybe you all get together and paint???

I am so lucky to call this gal my friend.  She is truly a blessing and such an inspiration.  She just is.

We get together to paint, play, bounce ideas and most important, laugh a whole lot.

I hope that you all have a great day, and a creative and restful weekend.

Until next time,

Ophelia

Day 15 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days...

Its the half way mark....
Some days, I feel unstoppable and yet others, I struggle.  I find that when I get stuck on a color combo - as is the case here, I just can't get enough of it, and it is very easy to fall into a color rut.

Tomorrow, I may change it up a bit...you know, to keep things fresh and exciting, but I truly love the moodiness that these colors convey.  Maybe its me finding this Liquitex Blue Violet color buried deep in my stash that ignited this series, or the fact that I just love the darkness that these colors seem to bring...not sure yet of why I am in love with these colors together...but I shall make it a point to dig deep in my studio to find those buried gems that await my play.
Until next time,
Ophelia

Day 14 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days...

Good Morning Blog Friends!
I often find that when I try a new color palette...or even the simple addition of a color that I don't often use, I use it over and over and over again...

I did that again this morning, and will probably do it again tomorrow as I am simply loving the moodiness of these colors together.
See you tomorrow, right here for day 15!
Until next time,
Ophelia
