Casa del Sol

I just finished this one - the gel medium is probably not even dry yet. It's a beachy one without the traditional blue/green colors. I had this extra canvas, already painted with the background from a Try It Tuesday technique, so I used it. The starfish provides some romance for the couple.

And earlier today, this one:

I really struggle with photographing the accurate color, the detail shots are better. Click on my Flickr picture 'thingy' that you see in the right column for better shots.

Try It Tuesdays : Week 1 : 2nd attempt

I'm really happy with how this technique turned out this time. It's a really cool background - fun and easy to create. Don't be surprised if you see of this background in my work. I think I'll incorporate it into all my new pieces for the upcoming sale so even though they will all be different, the style of backgrounds will unite them.

Try It Tuesdays : Week 1

Aah yes - the muse is back. After being a slump, I was rejuvinated today simply by joining Try It Tuesday! It's a new weekly art prompt group that posts a new technique to try every Tuesday. And just add more fun, you might even win a prize for posting your trials & comments.

This is what I made today, using this week's technique (easy acryclic
background). I really enjoyed it and will be trying another this evening.
