I decided a couple days ago to paint out of the lines. I grabbed a plastic knife and went to town. Then I noticed that Micki of The Art Hermit had just posted a painting that she did with a plastic knife! What are the chances? It must be the new year making us want to try something different. Micki asked if I would be posting mine, so here it is. I actually did not finish it until today and I did use some brushes to finish it up. It is called "Trying" I feel this way a lot...
I also want to share with you something very fun and exciting that happened to me. I won the Claire Barone Art give away and yesterday the most sparkly red box showed up at my door FULL of goodies!
I absolutely LOVE this painted glass necklace and just feast your eyes on everything else....ornaments, mounted prints a beautiful magnet with the cutest pink elephant and even a little glass mermaid pin. Rose was quite interested in all of it when she came home from school. She kept telling me that it was A LOT of beautiful stuff and she can't believe that Claire would just give all of that to me. :) I agree. Thank you so much Claire!! Jennifer

I can't wait to see that knife painting in person! Hmmm... very cute!
I'm so glad you posted up this painting I love the buttery colours you used in the knife painting, so yummy and the texture looks great too! Do you think you'd do another one with just a knife? I'm not sure if I will or not?!
I love all the goodies you got from Claire's giveaway, she was super generous!! Lucky you!

I just commented on the wrong post by accident but you get what I mean!
You deserve it all! I am behind in blog reading and just saw all of your new paintings...They are exceptional Jennifer!
I know what you mean about that 'dirty' blue color. I've tried rubbing some light oak stain over the blue...kind of the same effect.
