Summer of Color - SOC 2015 - Week 2

Did I mention it was a busy week?  Sorry, I don't mean to whine about it.  I choose to add to my own chaos quite frequently it seems.  But I've learned that it is important to do the things you need to do, but not to eliminate the things that you want to do because that only makes you grumpy.  You may get tired and grumpy from trying to fill your days with too much, but that grumpy is more doable that the grumpy you get from not doing the things you like.  Of course, sometimes the results are not quite what you have planned, but that's okay too.

So without further whining, er, ado here are my, wait for it...............two creations for this week's SOC challenge - Pink, Pink, Orange.


A little out of order again, I did the one below first but I chose not to enter that one because I used a google search for poppies for my inspiration and my flower turned out much too closely related to the picture I found (and I didn't like that the center flower was so high on the paper).  Therefore, the coneflowers above were more my original creation.  


Love these colors this week too!


I think if I hadn't had so much going on I could have found more "media" in my stash that would have matched these colors to add to my pages.  Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be able to test more of my creativity and use more of my stash!

  1. Personally, I think you did an EXCELLENT job with both paintings. I do like the first one best, though. I only wish I could paint as well as you. Seems these colors agreed with you!

  7. Lovely work, I so understand about the first, you have to be so careful of copyright these days..I am always thinking of that.

  8. Love both your pieces, but I'm especially enjoying your coneflowers. I had a dream last night I was in a garden of coneflowers and each one had a fairy hanging out with it. It's good when you can laugh in your dreams.

  10. These are gorgeous - wow don't the colours just so suit poppies. Both are gorgeous - I love the more abstract feel of the second one, and the first one is beautifully drawn.
