Summer of Color Wrap up

Good morning... another bright sunny and hot day coming up.. gotta love summer... This is the last post for the Summer of Color until next year..Yes that's right.. we will be doing it again yay!! Thank you Kristin for organizing this.. it was so much fun and the very first blog challenge I have ever completed..lol...Oh the art I have seen..it will be available for awhile which is great because I didn't get to everyone's over the past few weeks... so  I hope you had a chance to check some of the blogs out... totally amazing...So here are all my pieces together...they aren't in order of the weeks.. not sure how to move them around on here .. but all in all very happy with what I accomplished over the challenge....
Blue week.


I was looking at Sadie Inspired 's Orange page and saw that she had a link on it to Christy Thomlinson's blog and Alisa Burke's blog.. loved their work.. and watched the great video on Christy's blog.. and while I watched .. here's what I came up with.. it's not as light and airy looking as hers but I had no idea you could spritz the wax pastels or crayons.. looking for a spritzy bottle now...and would love to try more of these on canvas.. my art journal was too small...
Anyways.. should get busy and do something useful..internet was playing up again today so even though I started this hours ago.. finally can post it...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day...Thanks for stopping by..
Kath

    Oh Kath, your summer of colour creations look fab together! It's been a fun challenge hasn't it.
    ...and your last journal piece inspired by Christy's blog is beautiful, yes it would look fab on a canvas :)

    Hey Kath, blogger was not available last night so here I am today.
    Your creations look wondeful together. I love the journal pages, might have to email you about those and some questions.
    Love that last page you did. Might pop over to look at the vid, now I can watch vids...wooo hooo.
    Paints and books are out, just finishing up some altered canvases. Take care and will talk in real soon.

    Wow, that last piece of art is absolutely gorgeous, Kathy! I love the colors and the design, it looks like a mandala. :) And it's neat to see all the Summer of Color pieces together - you did a great job, and if it's going on next year too it must have been great fun as well! :) I especially love the Helen Keller sunflower you made, by the way. :) Hugs!

    Wow, super cool! So you're melting crayons and then painting with them, is that right? I'll have to watch that video, thanks for the link. Your journal pages look awesome! The very bottom one is super groovy!
