Today is my sister's birthday. Yay! So I painted this for her. I call it
Sister Love. Happy Birthday, Paula! She's the baby sister. There are five of us (3 girls, 2 boys) and I'm the oldest. She's had a rough year and I wanted to give her something to hopefully make her smile and to tell her how much I love her. Big Hug to you, sis! This will be on it's way as soon as I get it framed. This is also my entry for
Paint Party Friday.
I fell in love with all of the techniques for this painting when I saw them in this book:
I LOVE it. So many ideas for mixed media and this painting was only one of them. I highly recommend it.
And Finally, Shayla From The
Inexplicable Rabbit nominated me for this:
Thank you so much, Shayla! That's so sweet of you! Please check out Shayla's blog. Her artwork is incredible. I LOVE it! Now technically I'm supposed to name ten things about myself. I
will, but at a later date. And as for nominating other bloggers, there are so many of you out there I couldn't possibly narrow it down. I'll just nominate
all of the wonderful blogs of Paint Party Friday. THEY deserve it!
