Dancing in a Fairy's Ring Paint Party Friday Week 12

A little late in posting this but I had a few errands to run before my daughter and I accompany hubby on his trip to Winnipeg next week. It will be M's first time on an airplane. Of course hubby got stop overs so she could experience the take offs and landings....my worse part of flying, I guess he forgot.
 I wanted to stay behind and let my son go but it didn't work out, so this time around it will just be the girls while hubby goes to work for the week; hopefully we will find plenty to do while we're there :)



So I didn't get a chance to finish "A Patch of Blue"...kind of stuck on what I wanted to put in that patch, I thought I did last week but then I changed my mind after looking at it for some time.The good news is I have finally figured it out but didn't have enough time to implement it so instead of missing this week's Paint Party Friday I elected to show case a few of M's illustrations. I also threw in there a little Artist Conk that I played around with a few weeks ago when I ran out of large Conks.....how sad ):   ....Actually it could pass off as an aceo, after all it is miniature measuring approximately  2" across x 1 1/2 inches in height x 1 1/2 inches in depth...not the size of an actual aceo but otherwise similar in it's small canvas space.


So here  are the three illustrations M did......years ago.....maybe I might entice her to bring them along on the trip for her to paint.

              

            A Crown M saw on the internet and decided to give it a try





A Baby Whale with Its Mom


  

And a  Seahorse

All these illustrations were done when she was in grade six.....a long time ago....time to PAINT them I say!

And here is the make shift ACEO...An Artist Conk 2 x11/2 x 11/2

Oooh my Creative Process?....I never know until I get an idea , only then do I make a special note on paper of all the essentials required to make the vision come into being. Nature, Music, Poetry, Writing, art, life...... all that surrounds us is Inspiration to me.

ooo I love your painting. I love take offs and landings - but I'm an Air Force brat, so maybe its in my blood. I hope that your travels are safe and easy and that it is not nearly as bad as you anticipate!

M obviously takes after her artistic mum! i have a thing about seahorses- they are so cute and her drawing is fabulous! enjoy your trip and don't worry about the flight (says me who developed a fear of flying after years of loving it!) looking forward to seeing what idea you've come up with for the blue moon painting!

Hope you have fun on the trip! Your daughter's artwork is really good. She should definitely do some more. Your little conk is really cute; what fun! I love seeing all the sweet rocket growing on the roadsides at this time of year.

Oh, another seahorse! Love it! Yes, M should definitely paint it. Much talent there! That's an adorable little conk, too.

Ooooh - I hope M decides to give the seahorse some paint! I loved seeing all of that wonderful work :)

The details on your little conk are incredible!

Twilight at Sea


The Twilight Hours like birds flew by,
As lightly and as free;
Ten thousand stars were in the sky,
Ten Thousand on the sea;
For every wave with dimpled face,
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace,
And held it trembling there.
