One Little Word- Light

our word for the month of June is "light." i gave a sneak peek earlier with this photo....i loved the texture left behind from the white ink i used to diffuse the bright colors.

this is a full view of my painting below. i used gesso, acrylic paints and inks to create my background and then used some ephemera and book words to pull in our theme.

with all of the colors and the textured, white wash "into the light, she would be happy...." yes she would be happy.

a blur of life...

the whole month of june past in a whirlwind....i had been waiting for the end of june to come so i could go to art class- and the week came and went. gone; but, lessons learned. not easily though- in fact, quite the opposite...there was alot of kicking and groaning involved- but, painting in my studio over this 4th holiday....break though achieved. it was an experiment, and pow- just like that the lessons clicked into sense and worked- exactly how they were supposed to. amazing....

i am sure that july is passing as quickly as june will...i am trying to take each day and do something arty...keep focused; stay on track and push forward.

hope your summer is passing at a speed that you can enjoy...what has been filling your time?
