Three up Front working title

I think I've painted enough flowers and trees lately that I'm having a TOUGH time naming them! Anyone with a better idea I would welcome suggestions for a name for this little4x4 on clayboard. I used open acrylics for this one so my palette was limited to the few small tubes I bought. I'm not sure the open time is really long enough to work for more than a few minutes, but I had to experiment in preparation for playing with the fauvist portraits I want to practice on in an attempt to loose my "fear" of them! Thanks to my friend Carol Nelson I am able to work on this with some assistance from time to time!

This came from the Dana Marie's challenge blog Inspiration all Around Us. It has been awhile since I have posted on that blog so I felt it time to do something for this very creative artist! Thanks for the opportunity Dana!

This little one will go in my list of contest choices, and to my ETSY shop when I get it set up! I'm also looking to another shop that is like ETSY, but newer and FREE...but I want to see what benefits would be to the free...or am I getting my "money's worth"...so still checking!

Happy Painting to you all!!

CONTEST WINNER and collage in process

Congratulations to James Parker for being the latest contest winner for my followers. Tune in to see which piece he chose. When we reach 100 followers we will have another give-away. Stay tuned for the details in coming days!!

I taught again today so had only limited time to work on my second challenge. I have just begun to lay in background colors and flowers...What is exciting about all of this is it is all a process that I get to decide where to go from here as I go along...I LOVE that!.

I have mixed this will acrylic paint...as I'm painting and collaging I'm deciding what I want to do to bring unity between my collage work and my acrylic paintings...hmmm...I'm curious to see how that will work...stay tuned!

I'm off to nap...Happy Day to you all!!
