Summer of Color Week 3

It's Week 3! Check out some of the gorgeous art created with the colors from Baseball Nut Ice Cream over at Summer of Color and I'm still here...lol I have had this drawn for a couple of days but couldn't find any colors to do it with in my watercolors/pencils, crayons... until Les over at Harmony Road Studio suggested using acrylics on it.. now there I have tons of colors.. haven't used them in my journal before.. so thank you Les for suggesting it... I realize that it isn't exactly perfectly centered or even..I really should start using a ruler etc.. but am still really happy with it.. I really do think I need bigger paper next time...lol...
I am so excited ... my zucchini has 5... yes 5!! little zucchini's on it.. that's 2 more than I had all last summer...lol
Tiger Lilies are starting to open... soooo gorgeous...
I had sunday off and today so have started spraying things and thinking about getting ready for the fall.. so I collected up all my teapots.. and got them ready to spray... I was so sure I had more than 20 of them... but it's a start....and so it begins!!
Ok did it again...lol can't type from the end only the middle.. ugh... some day!!  
Anyways.. off to paint I think.. it's so gloriously hot and sunny outside.. might have to hang out there abit too and enjoy my only day off till the weekend...
Thanks for stopping by.. hope you are having a loverly day! Don't forget to check out some of the other sites too.....

  2. Kathy, the acrylics worked great. Glad I suggested that. LOL
    I can't believe the details in this mandalla?? if that is what this is called.
    I painted today, can you believe I got out a canvas and am dong the Folkart birds by Painting with Friends pattern. After seeing Becky's I decided to do it. It is all basecoated ,now the fun part, shading and details. Yes it is starting to feel like we should start painting, I know I have been thinking about it this week.
    Don't work too hard.

  5. Gosh what a beautifully coloured design... it really is amazing.

    Congrats on your zucchini! I've got some mange tout ready to pick but they are really not doing well compared to last year.

    Your tiger lilies are gorgeous.

  9. Lovely page! Great idea to use a different medium.

    I just finished my pages in your travelling sketchbook Kathy! It is awesome - only two more entries and it will be back to you.

    So many beautiful pages. (I'll post mine on Friday and hopefully mail it off tomorrow.)

  16. Oh I'm so late visiting and have only just today uploaded this weeks piece! aargh!

    Loving this and that's what I like about this challenge, it's getting us using colours and materials we wouldn't normally think to use. Does this mean mojo is back now? :)
