Hi Everyone!
It's Paint Party Friday. This is where some of the best artists meet to share their art. Big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting.
Like many of you life seems busier staying at home than when I had many things to do outside of the house. I truly love it! I don't mind staying in the comfort of my home. Mr. M. and I give each other plenty
of space so we are good together here.
Today Mr. M. and I got the acetylene takes out to cut some rebar. With that and some mesh we made a wind break for my pepper plants. The wind was just blasting them. Now they still get plenty of sun and no wind. I will take photos tomorrow of it. The next two days we are under a fire warning and the temps here in Florence will be 80° tomorrow and 88° the next day. That is unheard of for around here. The winds will be high with that heat, so that is why the fire warning. Inland will be worse.
I worked on this painting today for fun
of course black n white and shades in between
Still need to do some detail work.
The last 2 days I made some new cabs for my website. These are glass painted with acrylics, enamels and water colors. I like the effects of these.

Have a great weekend, be safe, and do something nice for yourself.

ReplyDeleteYour cabs are lovely! Where is your website offering them? Now, about your painting, it’s more than genius! I love it. I see it as landscape, but others may see different things. Simply beautiful in black and white.

oh the cabs... now I have to go look at your beads... LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteYour painting is already amazing - the power and strength of the rocky places and then those delicate wild grasses blowing in the wind. The cabochons are really pretty. Happy PPF!

Sometimes the black and white turns out more appealing and beautiful... lovely painting and the cabs too.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole :) I'm just like you, I truly love being at home, same with me and Alex, we give each other lots of space and it works! :) I love that painting, I'm a fan of all of your black and whites. The foreground of the painting is so nice, really looks like a rock formation or a sandy cliff, really cool! Your cabs are so pretty. Oh congrats on keeping your peppers out of the wind! :)
ReplyDeleteHey there Nicole, really love the first painting... 🙂 So dark & mysterious, wow! 🖤
