My daughter April turns 35 tomorrow!

Well one of my daughters is having a Birthday tomorrow, and there was one thing she really wanted from me. I'd painting a seascape that my sister Mary loved so I sent it to her....later I found out that April wanted it too. Yes, I painted a new one just for her!!! I posted it in FB so she would find it...I'm so happy she did for it was exciting to here her reply!!!

My August entry for Mide Wide Open

The second photo is the prompt picture for August's challenge, so I decided to play up this little darling swinging in a real (sure) tree using an 8x10 canvas board and using acrylic paints. It's a mixed media collage with some whimsy!!!

This was really fun and I suggest if you haven't been to check out Mind Wide Open before you should...you may just decide you'd love to join in!!!

Oh, there's a little block that says "Mind Wide Open" just click on it and it will take you there! Just let GAIL (who comes up with all these awesome challenges) you want to join in!!!!
Blessings

God loves you and so do I!

My latest little painting

I was messing around with a 16x20 canvas adding texture by using some molding clay, papers and decided to make something a little whimsical. This is what I came up with, but I have to admit I was thinking of my dear sister Mary from http://asplendidadventure.blogspot.com and all the wonderful mixed media paintings she does. And yes, there is a hug canvas in her living room done in turquoise and RED...and it's a red bird, but her's is different, so I don't think she's going to think I've copied from her. The way I look at it is she's influenced me in a good way with her art. Can you tell I'm so very proud of Mary??? Well many of you already know her, and that we have a special bond...

Tell me what you think of this, does it need more added, like stamping of rings or perhaps a little heart hanging from a string in front of little birdie's face...I was thinking of a worm...but don't think so..eheheh!!!

Have an awesome weekend celebrating our Independence. I pray for safe travel if you will be on the roads!!!

Blessings,

Bevie
