green Paper challenge

These are the images we were to incorporate into a design. I thought her face was so beautiful and that is what I concentrated on. Other elements were used to make a background.
My digital painting.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
To give her poor doggie a bone.
When she got there, the cupboard was bare ....
Hmmmmm?

Inspiration Avenue/ summer sun!

When I first started decoupage (2002?) I made this garden tray using clip art, stickers and images from garden catalogs. Then I added details with paint. It is sealed with several layers of varathane so I don't worry about using it,
Kind of folk art and elementary, but it's all my favorite things!

Paintpartyfriday!

Pastel Nastursiums
I love pastel ! I do a painting with the pastels and then go back and add color and details by using water and a brush. I shave the pastels I want to use with an exacto knife into a small palette . Then I dip a brush into water and mixed the "powder" to add more colors. It gives it a nice painterly look.

7"x 9" pastel in 17"x 21" frame
