Spent a beautiful warm sunny day outside yesterday painting papers to restock my palette.Living in New England I don't have the luxury of mild year round weather...and I would much rather paint outdoors to keep the art room clean. So, that means grabbing those great summer days as I can get them.
I took all of my rice papers, book pages, etc out with me along with watercolors, acrylics, and some twinkling H2O's for an afternoon of fun!!
Luckily I have a great glass top table that is perfect for this. I can get it wet and messy and simply clean it off with the hose. Can't do that in the art room..lol
As you can see...I got quite a bit done. Now.... I need to find more time to actually do some paper making next. I'm starting to run out of those nice hand made pieces. That too is a messy process, so I'd rather grab some outside time for that as well.That's also fun because you end up with papers you never even dreamed of creating!! Pure inspiration!

And after you cleaned up your worktable, I'm sure you popped into the pool!!!! What an awesome way to spend a hot, July day, Wanda. And now you have more 'inventory' too!!! Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner!!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Thanks ladies. Astrid..sometimes I have ideas in mind when I paint them and other pieces just happen...so it's "found" inspiration.
Terri....you got that right. I had several little "pool breaks" out back as I went along. Gets pretty hot out there!
Yep...it's a win win :)

You're right roc. I did decide to experiment with a few of those. Got some pretty nice results!
