Summer of Colour - end of term report
We've been celebrating colour all summer long over at Kristin's Twinkle Twinkle blog. She has been the most gracious host and showered gifts galore as well as shared her talents and provided an outlet to share ours.
We've made new friends and explored our paint pots, colouring our palettes with rainbow splashes and swirls. And now, like all good things, our journey is at an end. Mine luckily appears to be at the end of a rainbow where I found a pot of gold guarded by a garulous leprachaun.
So now, we meet one last time to showcase our work and thank Kristin. You may spot a bit of theme with mine. I didn't start off intending to just draw girl's faces but they were queuing up to be committed to paper so who was I to argue? I experimented with materials, textures and mediums.
I thought I'd finish with the flourish above. Groovy hair eh? I could have done with those locks when I went to an Austin Powers themed party last week. I had to make do with a Farrah Fawcett wig instead.... (probably best that I don't share those pictures... they were a bit scary what with the hot pants and all....)
And remember readers... Somewhere over the rainbow...

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I haven't had the chance to visit your blog more often. We've been in the process of moving, so it's been difficult to get on the computer. I just went through your gorgeous slideshow and it is so amazing. I have seen some of the pictures, but I realized I had missed a lot of them. What a terrific artist you are. The emotion you put into the faces is fantastic. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congrats!! It's so fun to win! :) I can't wait to see what you do with your new art supplies!
