"PPF"
First let me say how excited I am to have been selected as this week's Featured Artist for Paint Party Friday! I'm amazed and inspired week after week by all the talent showcased through PPF, and am honored to share a bit about my painting journey this time around. Thank you Kristin and Eva for your hard work, care and support of us all. Blog Land would not be the same without you!
For my submission, I wanted to create something that was colorful, quirky and representative of my most recent work. Since I've been doing a lot of long-necked ladies lately, I thought PPF might like to live there too and and since it's for a Paint Party, I decided to play with the idea of multi-colored strands of hair. The funky, glittery stars (which I seem to pop in everywhere these days) are a nod to my blog, Twinkle, Twinkle.
Wanna see more?! Well, okay then:
9 x 12 Acrylics on Watercolor
A mix of matte and iridescent acrylics, acrylic ink and fine glitter
The smudging of PPF was a last minute "accident."
I liked the look so much, that I went back and "messed it up" even more
Thanks again to Kristin, Eva and You! I so appreciate your time and support.

I love your art Kristin! :) I think you're amazing. Great interview!
Beautiful!! I love her rainbow hair. Congrats on being featured!! Your work is amazing. Happy PPF
rainbowlicious!!! and pink pouty lips. Quite the contrast between the background and her hair. It makes me think about being happy and bright during gloomy days. Hmmm...
I like the attitude that this girl has. She looks like she is in control of her world and happy in spite of any bad that gets sent her way.
Love your stars! That smudging is fabulous- I would have gone back and done more too! Congrats on being featured at PPF!
How great that you were featured! And the art work is simply stunning! The contrast bewteen the background and your long-necked girl (she's becoming a bit of a signature of yours me thinks!) is so well done and jsut makes her stand out even more. And the smudged PPF-what a happy accident! Love it. Love the new summer of colour ticker too. You excited or what?!
Wonderful painting, love love love the multicolor hair! And the stars!
Kristin, congratulations on being artist of the week! Your face is a beautiful painting.
Your long necked girl is gorgeous!!
Loved your interview at PPF.
Love the last minute smudging as well and congrats on the interview .... it was fun learning a bit more about you... I am going to check out the summer of colour thingy... looks like it will be fun, and even though it is winter here I could do with some ice cream colours to brighten it up I think...xx

She's a colorful girl! I'd love to borrow her hair for a week or two. It might not look as pretty on me but I'd enjoy it!
