"Grow"
mixed media on 9x12 hot press watercolor paper
The only painting I did this week was this new graffiti inspired piece. I am still feeling the effects of the stomach bug that hit me last week. I just can't seem to shake it. I have no patience for feeling down and out. I don't like to rest even when its needed.
But it did make me feel better to smear some paint around in my favorite colors. I used payne's gray and raw umber with some black and white for this one. I also used a new alphabet stencil and my favorite tree stamp which I have no ruined with white paint! lol I was going to add more to this but after leaving it for a few days I think I am done.
Sharing this over at Paint Party Friday. For those of you celebrating Easter this weekend I wish you a happy holiday! Of course I am wishing everyone a fabulous weekend!

ReplyDeleteI'm wondering who the imperative "Grow" is addressed to!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, doing what you like - painting in your case - is the best type of rest and, consequently, the best medicine.
I hope you're feeling better now.
I like it Cathy. Really nice. I agreee about "positve grafitti." Glad you are feeling better. Happy PPF!
