Watercolor Paintings

5/31/2013

I painted a couple of flower paintings in my journal for my Lifebook class. The flowers were painted with Twinkling H2O's which are very shimmery watercolor paints. They are fun to use and I love the shimmer. The colors are intense and beautiful too. I painted the borders with Silks acrylic glaze which is also very shimmery paint. I also added bits of gold paint to add extra shimmer. If you ever have a chance to use these paints I would recommend them.

I am still working on preparing for my daughter's open house, but we only have one more week and then I can create more.

Have a great weekend.

I have a loving husband who thinks I'm a bit crazy to be so obsessed with art. I am a mother of five children from ages 21 to 5. I spend most of my time mothering and keeping house. In my free time I like to play with textiles, art journaling and painting. I have a degree in textile and apparel studies with a design focus. Right now I am more interested in fiber arts than apparel design, but I don't know where my journey will take me.

I love to read and am not often without a book. I love fantasy and science fiction novels. I also love reading a lot of mainstream fiction and historical accounts. Art books and magazines are another favorite of mine.I also dabble in gardening. I want to get out and garden more when my little ones are a bit older and less of a challenge. I enjoy being outside, at least when the weather is nice. I love animals. I also live with two cats.

I live in Alaska with the beauty of the natural world all around me.
