Paint Party Friday has arrived again. Today I have another work in progress called "Forest Floor" done with metallics and a couple pics of the now finished and framed "Water for Elephant".
See the post for Water for Elephant here.

I was so inspired by one of the paint players last week that I had to go outside and pick up some leaves and create a painting with some natural stamps. I learned as I created and thoroughly enjoyed the process. I have lots more to do to this painting, it really started out as just playing but now I have more of a vision for the piece and will share it as soon as I finish it.

Love both of the painting and can't wait to see the finished "Forest Floor"!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! The leaves are just awesome and the water elephant, just great. Love how you did that. Fantastic! Have a great weekend.:)
ReplyDeleteWho was that paint player that inspired you last week? She inspired me too and I wanted to go back and tell her! HOping I will come across her today.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with your natural stamps. Came out just lovely.
Oooh! Love them both! Water for elephants turned out beautifully and Forest floor is gorgeous - I must try that too!
ReplyDeleteoh, love the forest floor paintings and the cool feel that you've achieved! Awesome stuff! Happy PPF POP ART MINIS
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful all finished and framed! I like the leaf painting, too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous forest floor- I'm doing something similar next week with my students- I hopes theirs come out half as nice as yours! And your elephant looks even better framed- where did you hang it? If it were mine, I'd put it somewhere that I could admire each day :)

Water for Elephant is so gorgeous. I'm glad you shared the title because it made me look more closely. It's wonderfully abstract, and only when I went looking did I see the elephant. I love work that brings you back to look again and again. Lovely leaf prints. Using the fern is truly inspired! I painted with leaves for PPF on vacation a few weeks ago - I hope I was part of your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Two very different but equally stunning works of art! I love the metallic leaves painting -did you really use actual leaves to stamp this? It's wonderful. And the water for elephant looks brilliant in the frame.
ReplyDeleteyour forest floor is interesting and beautiful as is the completed water elephant.
ReplyDeletesorry I meant 'water for elephant'.
ReplyDeleteJaime! WOW!!!! Both of these paintings are amazing. I especially love the Forest Floor - it's very organic. :) Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to do stuff like paint with leaves when my girls were young, I think I need to remember to do things like that for myself now!!! love the framed piece!
