Guiding Light

Had so much fun doing the snowman note board, thought I'ld try a summer scene.
and I also collect light houses so this is perfect.
Did the sky with a sponge of sky blue and white paints, and sponged in the grass with shades of green. Painted the lighthouse outline with white and then painted on the red stripes. The house also I painted the outline with white and then painted the windows and highlights for the roof line . The trees are pounced in with the corner of a flat brush.
And the frame I put this in is one my Dad made for me. Special!!!

SNOWMAN BOARD

I painted the snowmen on a corkboard and then framed it to use as a note board in my new studio when we move.
The snowmen are painted using a scruffy brush with white and maple syrup colors.
It will be fun to change the painting out for each season.

CHRISTMAS CARDS

It's been a long time since I had some time just to paint.
These cards are my result. All three cards I started with a white card. One has painted red stripes on the card, the other two I used a gold ribbon behind the painted image.
Two flowers are outlined with scribbles gold paint. Then the images are matted to a red DP. On the one card I dry brushed the background of the painting with green and red paints.
