Artist's Play Room #4

Last week's challenge was "create art from the inspiration around you". What a wonderfully successful week this was! Thank you to all my bloggy friends who submitted their lovely artwork, I really appreciate it and love going to your blogs and reading all about you and your art. I'm having so much fun getting to know you all. Here's a wrap up of the terrific pieces that graced my blog through last week, but first, here's my submission...

I ended up creating several pieces from this week's challenge, I'll be showcasing them in the weeks to come. I found myself spurred on to try more landscapes because this one was successful and I also was inspired by both Tracey Fletcher King and Dion Dior this week. I love their "ordinary things" paintings. They both know how to make anything interesting & beautiful.

Comment:
I love this piece the most this week.
Cindy's style is so romantic, even when
she's drawing her desk! I especially
 love the little notes "insert printer here"

Tracy, The Domestic Gourdess
Comment:
Don't you just love the
justaposition of the textured
tree trunk against the soft
cat's paw? Brilliant photo!

Hope at The Sinister Scribe
Comment:
These amazing Zentangle beetles
were inspired by a junebug
landing on Hope when she was
in her studio! Love them.

Dion of Dion Dior & More
Comment:
I'm always in love with Dion's pieces,
no matter what she paints. I know this
painting was inspired by her recent trip
 to Australia. Extraordinary!

Debbie at Crafty Moose
Comments:
Isn't he just the cutest? Debbie has inspired
 me to write a post (with art) about two ducks I
got toknow in my University days. 

Minnemie at Cripple Pencil
Comment:
This piece is so fantastic!
She captured body movement
 so expertly, wow,

Lou Anne at Misplaced Mermaid
Comment:
I just love Lou Anne's Shrine
 of Forgotten Things. She has
captured the heart of what I
was saying, that mundane things
are beautiful too.

Simona at Timeless Rituals
Comment:
Hi Simona, nice to have you
here participating, your mask
totally brings back fond
memories of artwork in our
house when I was young.
You did a great job!

Tracey Fletcher King
Comment:
Last but never least is Tracey's great
submission Maltesers. She is one of my very
favorite new friends and her art always
inspires me. The only problem? Now I want
chocolate!

This week's challenge is paint/sketch/collage/photograph, create art themed around the New Season in which you find yourself. Now, the reason I didn't say "Create something reminiscent of Spring" is because I have several wonderful friends in Australia and there it's starting their winter season! So, make something reminiscent of the new season in which you find yourself currently. I thought I'd give you some inspiration, aren't I helpful?? hehehe.
