pARTY on!

I had heard of Paint Party Friday. My friend, artist Mary Nasser, told me about it. I am also fb friends with co-host  Kristin Dudish and quite a few of the weekly participants. But, still I drug my feet about getting involved. You know how it is. So many commitments and time constraints....but then I could not stand it as I began to see all of the wonderful art and creativity being shared! I just decided to jump in on the very last day of the first year! (Leave it to me!) Anyway, I want to share here my latest painting with you. It is very different for me and was brought about by my recent 24 hour painting jam session. I feel my artistic voice becoming clearer and stronger and my vision about my art truly beginning to emerge. I am very excited by this and hope you will continue to check back in to see where this leads! Like, every Friday maybe? 

live artfully,

    Kristen, I'm definitely going to check out the Paint Party Fridays. Thasnks for letting us know.

    I have to say I am completely blown away by and in love with the pieces that were inspired by your 24 hour marathon. Your style is so much fun and it just shines.

    Thank you for be brave enough to do this!

    Blessings,
    Sheri

    Welcome to Paint Party Friday! It is great to have you join us!!

    What a great painting - especially with that one eye closed - almost like "I want to love you bees - but I'm really not sure...."

    Bee-holder... love it!
