paint party friday!

It's been a while since I participated, but I finally got the paints out again and spent some time with my WIPs.  Nothing finished yet, but I like the feeling of waiting for the paint to dry, waiting for the next step.

I didn't photograph the in-between phases of my drippy circles painting, but there have been a few since that other post.  Here it is now:




And the small paintings that were just backgrounds last time got another layer.






I also worked on the watercolor of my trachelospermum plant.




And started a painting of a pomegranate.






Wasn't quite working as I wanted it to, but I'm hoping that working with the second layer will be more successful.  Even so, I like the look of the spread of the paint.  With all its bumps and shadows a pomegranate is really not so easy to paint or draw.  I did a bunch of sketches the other day from different angles and learned that fact.  Still, I always like a challenge.

If you're not too busy with holiday stuff, stop by Paint Party Friday to join the party or just find some inspiration.

  17. Thanks, everyone!

    Paula, I got that image from Craft Cult. They keep track of the front page treasuries. You can download an image or a widget. I also did a screen capture myself, but it didn't turn out as well.

  23. A very attractive piece Anne - I love drippy paint and the sense of movement and looseness it gives. Pomegranate - seems a difficult fruit to paint, but I look forward to seeing yours. I have never attempted it myself . Happy holidays, Ev

  24. This is what I should do; have several pieces going at once in different stages. Then I might not get so frustrated when one of them is not behaving. :) I especially like your watercolor plant. The leaves are very graceful.

  25. They may be drippy circles to you, but to me they look like Gems. The Pomegranite looks good enough to eat. Your paintings are amazing. Blessings, Janet PPF
