Paint Party Friday - Patterned vase with flowers

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! Showing this patterned vase with flowers that I had done for an Instagram challenge a few months back for @alexandrasillos.

Paint Party Friday - The View

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!

I found this old art journal (approximately 5" x 7") in my stash and decided to start using it for sketches.

Here is a sketch of the view from my window, from a photo taken last month. It's done in watercolour pencils.

Paint Party Friday - The Handsome Model

I saw this photo in a magazine of a male model with the most perfect features, I sketched him here in pencil on cardstock (6" x6").  Happy PPF!

Here is the actual photo:

Paint Party Friday - Colours of the Season

We had snow not too far north of here yesterday. Yikes, it seems early for that.  Well it will be good for snowblower sales this year!

For Paint Party Friday, I am being inspired by the colours of the season. It's an art greeting card of a fall tree in acrylic,(5 1/2"w x 4 1/4"h).

Paint Party Friday - Fish

I'm featuring some clown fish for Paint Party Friday.  Acrylic (6" x 6") on card stock.  I was inspired by a photo I saw on Adam's blog Neko Random with a single fish turning. I thought 'what an interesting angle'. Adam posts a lot of interesting facts on his blog. Like the other day he posted on Woodrow Wilson's wife Edith and the fact that she was a direct descendant of Pocahontas and John Smith! I didn't even realize Pocahontas and John Smith were real, lol.  Thanks Adam!

Paint Party Friday - Julianne Moore

This piece for Paint Party Friday was inspired by the current cover of InStyle Magazine featuring Julianne Moore. I was attracted to her beautiful necklace and of course she is always so beautifully colour co-ordinated.

Paint Party Friday - The Fallen Petals

This piece was inspired by some fallen petals on my dining table. I had received a bouquet of flowers the previous week and they were almost spent.  In fact I had already removed some purple flowers. It's acrylic on cardstock (6" x 6").

Paint Party Friday - The Dress

This is an ATC in acrylic entitled 'The Dress'. It was inspired by an outfit I saw a lady wearing at the grocery store the other day. I couldn't take a photo, but tried my best to capture it here. Hers may have hung more loosely and the colours may have been slightly different, but she looked so comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Linking to Paint Party Friday, thanks as always to Eva and Kristin for hosting.

Paint Party Friday - The Spill

I spilled some coffee the other day and thought it would be interesting to paint it. It's acrylic and pencil on cardstock (6 1/2"h x 4 1/2"w).

Paint Party Friday - Big Vase

I did a greeting card in acrylic (5 1/2"h x  4 1/4"w) entitled 'Big Vase'. I saw this vignette in a store at the mall and decided to paint it. The vase was at least 4 feet high with a couple of giant tulips inside it. I think the turquoise side table beside it added a nice touch.

Paint Party Friday - Stylish Girl

I saw this young girl of about 10 or 12 years old a few weeks ago in my local McDonald's restaurant. I couldn't help admiring her stylish good looks and tried to recapture it here. I remembered she was wearing a checkered patterned hat, a black jacket and stylish checkered patterned boots. The prettiest thing was the ruffled scarf she wore around her neck to complete the outfit. She sat with a couple of older ladies, maybe one of them was her grandmother. I wondered if they were European as the little girl had that sense of style.  Wish I could have taken her photo for you!  She seemed to be nursing a black eye, dabbing it with a tissue, hope they didn't notice I was staring.  They probably did, as I tend to stare at things that interest me.

The piece is on cardstock in acrylic (11" x 8.5").
