Paint Party Friday


When I do a painting I usually have a larger sheet of paper underneath my work. I just love all the left  over paint marks you get. You could never create those patterns on purpose if you tried and from time to time I see something I really like and use it in my artwork.

Lately I have been using the board of the back of a pad and found some paint marks that I thought I could use to make a 'crazy dress' which happens to be this months theme over at Mix it Monthly so I added a face and some arms and this is the result.

 

 



I think that's what you call serendipity. x

  15. This is beautiful - the dress is fabulous and couldn't have turned out better if you had planned every mark - I love the free-ness of it and the way the dress vanishes into the paper - this should definitely be framed.
