You may not believe this but so far I've managed to do a lot of art in my new studio and it's still fairly neat and clean! Yesterday I made another small mixed media piece. I'm really enjoying these small canvases. I even bought 10 more with a coupon. I gessoed each one and stacked them on my work table and now they're just waiting for me to create something on them. Here's something I did about a week ago and forgot to share with you....it's done on an 8" x 10" canvas board.
The first thing that came to mind when I looked at it was French Temptation. I'm not sure why that popped into my head but I just went with it as the name for this piece.
Everyone who is in the collage/mail swap please don't forget to let me know when you get your collages and be sure to post pictures of them in the flickr group.
And Little Messy Missy, one of our swap Collage Queens is hosting a bookmark swap if anyone is interested.
Stay cool!!!!
Mmmmm..just came back from running some errands...a fruit smoothie sounds like just the ticket...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, friend.
Enjoy those "canvai"!....as I call them plurally. (with a long I :-)
Wow Janet, this is another gorgeous piece! You're really going for the hot colours now, and they are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin the warm colours coming out of your studio.
That's just what we need down here in Oz!
Hugs,
Anna
gorgeous...simply gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteI love this, just full of fire and energy all to go with the heat I guess. Its warm here too but not as high as that. Keep cool
That's a lovely piece. I really like the colours on it.
ReplyDeleteLaura and I both received our collages from the swap. I will be posting photos to the Flickr group soon.
Writing this from my new laptop!

Hi Janet...my first comment disappeared...just as well...I didn't spell temptation correctly...lol. I'm loving all the art work you are turning out these days...so colorful and bright! That new studio space must be so handy to do more and more art.
ReplyDeleteMary
glorious!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely colors, Janet.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little warmer here today, but thankfully still not as hot as it usually is by this time of year. I sure wish that milder weather of the past couple of weeks would hang around longer...
Fruit smoothies sound like a great idea. Stay cool!
Hi Janet!
ReplyDeleteWe're having the same weather with one exception...high 90s heat and humidity too. Very unusual for us. I hope it's not a trend...eeek.
I really like this piece you are showing very much. I have a thing for polka dots so it's extra special to me.
Hope you're staying in and staying cool. I'm trying to find a dress for the wedding. Nothing like leaving it till the stores are like an oven. Yuk.
Love the yellows...thanks for the mention! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the hot colors -- is it capturing your desert mood? They work so very well together! Very nice.
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely piece Janet......so richly textured!
ReplyDeleteIt's not as warm here as it is in your neck of the woods - but the sun has finally come out!
Love, Violette xo
French Temptation is exquisite, Janet! I also have several small canvasses stacked on my art desk but, unfortunately, they've been sitting there for weeks now waiting for some attention. Five kids makes for lots of distractions whether they're adult or not. lol
ReplyDeleteStay cool ~ :)
