Paint Party Friday... Works In Progress


It's time for another Paint Party Friday!

It's been a busy, busy week in the studio...


I have many paintings started (Seven - yikes!)... They are all in various stages, but none of them are completely finished.


So, this week I'm sharing a few snippets of some of the works-in-progress.


In addition to the normal Paint Party Friday festivities, I'll be spending the morning having a different kind of "Paint Party"... A trip to the Art Gallery with a group of preschoolers! 

I hope you're planning on joining the party too - It's always lots of fun!

  3. Kristin: I love that you have so many things going at the same time--I do that too--it just works for me!! Love the texture and depth of the above 4 works; looking forward to seeing the progression. (sorry I removed my first post--my counting was off and I had to fix it!!)

  8. Crazy about the textures - how have you done them? I thought I was the texture queen. Boy I've got a lot to learn! Love Rosie PS where do you live so I can work out when the party starts. I am in NZ and if I know where you are I can use world clock!

  18. Hello, I love the texture of these works, could you explain us how to prepare the canvas? looks like clay or cement applied before applying the pigments. Hugs
