Recently I got this photo of my Grandma Skip in the mail. Well, actually I got it twice, once in a Christmas card and a second time in a thank you card, but who is counting! ;-)
Anyhow, since we had been talking about a recent trip my parents took to visit my Grandma, I thought I'd make a page of what they were excited about.
She has always been a painter as long as I've known her.
I mean, she's done other stuff to pay the bills, but she can do super cool things with oil paints and water color.
I can imagine she might feel like I did when we moved. Very lost in the art department and wondering where to start!
Well, a sketch is always a nice jumping off point. I used this one from ScrapFriends for their January sketch challenge.
I won some 13 Arts Ayeeda Paints on the Facebook Once Upon A Sketch page the other day and decided to give them a try. Creamy pretty goodness!
You can see some of that lovely paint goodness sneaking out from under my wee banners which was an addition I made to the sketch.
You can also see a feather I tucked in there! Goes along with my Lizzy Hill cut Grandma out style! ;-)
Happy Hump Day!
This is gorgeous! LOVING the colors, the paint, the flower and the feather!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA real "eye candy" page. Love the color combo, with your paints. Pretty picture of your grandma. I see this artsy stuff has come down the line in your family.
ReplyDeleteOooh..love your mix of elements and bold use of colours! Hope your grandma picks up the brush again and gives you some pointers...that would be cool!
