Summer of Color (Week 6)

I would like to offer a great big 'Thank You' to Kristin from Twinkle,Twinkle for hosting such a cool event (pun intended, of course)! I have thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream inspiration, and can't believe how quickly six weeks flew by!
Six Weeks, Six Crazy-Haired Girls!

I have discovered that index cards are a great, no-pressure way to try out new techniques on a small scale. (I have a feeling there will be more cards in my future beyond the challenge!)
xo! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of fun the girl at the top is. You have such a wonderful way of making the challenge even more appealing. Fantastic! I love the idea of index cards too. I missed this challenge, is it still going? ManonX

ReplyDeleteThey are all terrific, but my favourite is the ice-cream last in a love it/uuuurgh sort of way. I can just FEEL that ice-cream slip-sliding den my own neck! Thanks for the smile they all give me, and I'm glad it's Fryday too.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that should have read 'ice cream lady'.
ReplyDeleteLove the gnome and the ice heads! So coool :-) Your french fry gave me a craving!!!
ReplyDeleteI dont even know where to start with the compliments, first of all the colors you have in your watercolors are fantastic and vibrant. The thank god its fry day made me smile wide, and the paintings in the beginning including the ice dream cone haired woman that is first. They remind me of summer and I absolutely love them thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI meant ice cream cone, but got caught up in how dreamy they were excuse my poor spelling
DeleteAbsolutely love your watermelon summer of color piece!
