Spring has been peeking up in the garden in the form of colourful crocus! Sun has been shining & I actually sat in the garden for my cup of tea yesterday! Life is looking brighter and the clocks have moved to summer time

Life documented
Prompt: Exploring Wendy McWilliams abstract art.
Technique: Make an abstract using Wendy McWilliams technique of wet in wet acrylics blending with paper towels or cloth.
Quote: "Abstract artists tell their stories with shapes, color, edges, movement, and value - just like when one is painting a beautiful scene. The difference is, of course, there is no scene. The scene is within the artist. I often get asked, 'How do you know when you are done?' I am done when the story is told." Gwen Fox
On Thursday I took a trip up to Fraserburgh to check out some puppies....yes, I'm going over to the dark side! There are no Golden retriever dogs to be had in Scotland, adult rescue or puppy so.....I'm getting a Flatcoat in early May these little ones are only a fortnight old so no way are they leaving mum just yet!
Every inchie Monday sees us travel to Ecuador this week.....another far flung country, this one in South America .with mountains & jungle,Quito & the Galapagos it's a country of contrasts
Ans so you have the Galapagos tortoises, flag & map this week.
See you again soon!
Hi Sally, I love the art you shared today, wonderful pages, I loved the quote on the first page.
ReplyDeleteHowever I was drawn to the photo of the wonderful family of puppies. I am so pleased for you, this is something to look forward to and the day one of them will return home with you.
Sorry for the delay in leaving you a comment, for some reason or other your post has just shown up on my dashboard today and I noticed the date on it was Sunday.

No worries, it only got posted today, I did the draft on Sunday evening- needed to finish my inchies, then yesterday the landliy& internwere down for most of the day!
DeleteYour inchie images are very inclusive of a country with a long and interesting history. Loved you art pages, as usual, particularly the wry one...lovely to see those pups, something to look forward to indeed. I have a friend with a curly haired black retriever, a very large but gorgeous boy. I have never met a flat-coat, or not that I noticed, anyway,
