Artist's Play Room #12

We're into APR #12, quite amazing, isn't it? We've been getting together here for 12 weeks! (Scroll down to see this week's theme) It's been such a pleasure getting to know you all and your art. Last week's theme was "Magnify" and I suggested looking at your subjects more closely and capture the details close up. We got a great collection of artwork, I found this week's theme especially enjoyable. Here's mine and all the other terrific participants from last week.

Title: "Lazy Daisy"
I decided to do my favorite flower, the simple daisy. I am so in love with
their petals, they're so expressive and curvy. Perfect for painting!

Morning Dewdrops made this lovely
Memorial Day memory flag with
fleur de lis embellishment.

Ritu has painted a sweet kiwi
fruit, I love the tiny hairs she
added around the outer border,
it really connotes that furriness!

Victoria has taken some amazing
photos of this magnifier.
It's very unusual and I'm
thinking old. so cool.

Dion's periwinkles are
so luscious and colorful.
Her works is always
inspiring.

Kim created this great
journal a while ago and
it fits perfectly the theme.
I love your work as always.

Sandee did this beautiful
garden close up with also
a close up inside of a
raccoon tail, she's
an over achiever!!

Minn has done a spectacular job of
capturing his violin close up. What
can I say except WOW. This is
so spectacular Minn, you're
a master artist.

I told Rita that I was gonna use
her as a perfect example. She
missed last week's bookmarks
so I said PUT them in this weeks!
Gorgeous aren't they?

Tracy captured this lovely new plant.
I love the veining so much he's
going in my "to be painted"
file with permission from Tracy.

Tracey was more literal and
produced a wonderfully
haunting piece. It's quite
beautiful.

Vonny did an amazing water drop
on the end of a macro petal. This
is seriously off the hook Von. WOW.

Darla has drawn a darling
close up of a radish. This is
just adorable Darla. Now
I want a salad though!

Rita shot a beautiful macro of
Karma's eye. Gorgeous!
(and the photo is great too, lol)

Meihsia has done a beautiful
collage frame with butterflies
I love her coloration, gorgeous!

Lynn has done some sweet
doodly birds for my close up
challenge, hey, doodly birds
look good close up!!

Carol has done a beautiful
 little floral watercolor,
She wasn't sure it fit
the theme but ALL art
 is always welcome!!

This week I thought I'd do something simple and fun, the theme this week is "Let's Zentangle!". Zentangles are a form of artistic meditation that uses repetitive patterns to create images. Zentangling is also said to be creative doodling with a contained structure. They're fun and meditative to do and all you really need is a pencil and some paper. If you want to ink them up or paint them or whatever, more's the better! If you want to know more about what zentangling is, go check out these links...

Now, if it makes you feel more comfortable you can call this doodling, lol. You, the artist, can get as complicated or create as simple a project as you'd like and as always, all forms of art are enthusiastically welcome. I would LOVE to see altered art or collage done including zentangles somehow. I can't wait to see all your creations, have at it, you bloggy people! Remember, you don't have to be great, just create. 


Love you all,
Be back soon, I'm sure.
Don't miss me too much.
