Paint Party Friday - Seasonal Green

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! Thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting. Please stop by some of the others and join in the fun!

I was doing a 'Mistletoe' theme for Creative Tuesdays, due Dec 6th and squeezed too much green paint from the tube. I thought 'how wasteful of me' and decided to use it as a background for today's acrylic ACEO. I had been thinking of doing some evergreen trees and reindeer, so this painting evolved. The final touch was adding a bit of snow and I'm happy with the result. What do you think?

Hi Christine. I don't know yet if it is Vertigo. I'm having tests and I go back on Wednesday for further test. Thank you for asking. Just stopped by to answer your question and of course I've already been here for you green and white. Take care.

Wonderful use of extra paint! Sometimes I like the stuff I made with the "leftovers" more than the planned painting.

This is amazing. I'm thinking of taking painting lessons. I have a resident I visit in LTC, who took up painting when she was 75. I made a video of her life, and reciting her poetry!

Had to smile at this story as I create backgrounds from extra acrylics as well. :D
The white looks great on green.

Kristin said...

I love that your paint "overflow" became this! It is bright and bold and I adore the use of white for the pop! xoxo
