I went back over my blog because I couldn't remember the last actual painting I did....it was in June! Wow, I went that long without painting my whimsical girls! I need to make sure that doesn't happen again.
The background gave me trouble when I started, but after a while, it seemed to flow. So much for keeping it simple, I started adding layers for some interest. The secret is to just paint, and let it go where it wants to, and mostly, don't stress about it. There is no right or wrong way to do art, and even if you make mistakes, you simply learn from them, and apply what you have learned the next time.
I'm looking forward to my next painting now, maybe I can get into some kind of groove, and not go another 3 months!
The last couple of days we have had some insane weather. Yesterday they were calling for a 'weather bomb', which I have never heard of. For us we had the craziest winds and they've lasted so far for 2 days.
According to the news it hit lots of areas hard, especially in the US.
Were any of you affected? I'm surprised at the intensity, and how much area it has covered. Makes me think that we are in for a hell of a winter.
thanks for reading!

She's just beautiful! You did a wonderful job - and I agree...you should definitely not wait too long in creating your whimsical girls. :)
Sorry the weather was so harsh - we just had extra warm weather (yuck!). I want cold weather now! Theresa
I think your witch girl is wonderful!
Hee, that "weather bomb" got me too.
We had high winds and heavy rain for about an hour where I live in Ontario, but other parts did get hit harder (places closer to the US border)

She is lovely! So cute! :)
Your witch is wonderful. I love letting holidays inspire art. Although I have not done that much. It is fun to read about your process, the layers and just letting it go where it wants to. I also have a witch to post today or tomorrow.
I am glad you are safe with that weather bomb you had.... winds can be so damaging a huge presence.
Hi Betty! Your witch is magical and so adorable! The background is fabulous! Very inspiring post! Wishing you continued creative blessings! :)
She had turned out Perfectly Beautiful. I love the kitty too.

Hi Betty.
Your witch is adorable and the background looks really good. You got her painted just in time for Halloween. (:
Hard to believe Halloween is over and now we are heading for the Christmas Holidays. YIPES! I am NOT ready to even think about it. This year went way too fast.
I hope your winds calmed down. We are having gorgeous Fall weather here right now.
