Great photos Kay! That cupcake looks so yummy! Thanks for hosting

 

[eyepaint]

Ooooh!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Thanks for the photos. Looks like fun.

 

[KreativeK]

You're welcome!

Mine is done early.
9×12 watercolor and Brusho on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper. The old stone and stucco walls accent the lamp or light metal well. Dry brush and use of black Brusho were put in at the end for textural effects.

C&C welcome.

 

[Joy]

Kay, that is perfect! Love the textures. Thanks to you and the ubiquitous Pearl for the photos.

 

[CaliAnn]

Wow Kay - that turned out soooo awesome!

 

[Christel]

My try at the lilies. A4, wc gouache and wc pencils

 

[Joy]

Christel, very nice!

 

[CaliAnn]

Christel - beautiful lilies - that red really pops!

 

[Queen Bee]

Kay - Beautiful painting. Love the way you captured the glow from the lamp on the wall.
Christel - Your lilies are gorgeous. They should be framed.

 

[KreativeK]

Stunning red lilies! Glad you could join in.

 

[Christel]

Thanks Ann, Deborah and Kay!

 

[Christel]

Thanks Joy! I used wc pencils and gouache to bring out the reds a bit more.

I am going to try painting one tomorrow. At least starting it if nothing else.

Kay, sorry I haven't posted in this thread either. I am a painfully slow painter, and do not spend much time painting most days. Some days, not at all. I did finish one for the A&W monthly challenge, and have been working on a few things for challenges on another site.

 

[Jo Castillo]

I love your lamp and wall, Kay. So beautifully done.

Christel, your flowers are beautiful. I so love red.

I'm smiling. I've been "volunteering" to collect prizes for our Austin Pastel Society show so have been busy. This is my last time, I've put in my dues. More painting time needed. Hope to get a couple of these done this week!!

Inspired by Pearl Girl 9x12 watercolor on black mixed media paper. Be back later to comment on works thus far.

Deb, the blue in the fur really complements the eyes well.
