My new "Splash of Colour" series:

Hi friends, I'm still feeling a bit rough with this virus but I am improving.

Today's blog post picture is of something new I started.  When I'm working on a big project, the paint spread all over my glass palette is scraped to the edge and mixed together to make a grey that goes with well the project I'm working on.  After the second day, I scrape it into a pile and then use my palette knife to spread it thickly on a small canvas I bought for this purpose. Right now I put it on in the shape of a daisy. After a few days when the paint is thick enough, I let it dry and then paint it.  It's a easy project that gives me a fun distraction after working hard on something big.

 I'm calling it my "Splash of Colour" series.

the petals go down the edge of the painting as well

Have a great day everyone.

  1. I find this to be a new favorite, Bonnie. The texture is just amazing and the composition is both simple and bold at the same time. Gorgeous color too!

  2. What a marvellous idea. Sadly I work with acrylic so do not get enough time to do that the paint dries so fast.
