Blue Moon


 I added stars to the water and made the water darker.
Blue Moon and stars in the sky.  Moon reflected over water. Palm Tree. Not sure if I'll add anything else.  Everything is pastels except the stars are gel pen.

Thank you Eva and Kristin for Paint Party Friday each week.  There are so many fantastic artists to visit . . be sure to see them all.

Blessings,
Janet

Cowgirl Time



My favorites of all time is Bull-riding and Rodeos. . . the picture is from the time  I worked at the Illinois State University auditorium and we had one of the Western singers come to town. We all dressed up like cowboys and girls and had a grand old time.  Those were fun times. I was also attending the University and received my BS degree in History and a minor degree in Women's Studies.  Those really were the days. 

Thank you Eva and Kristin for allowing all of us artists a place to show our creativity on Paint Party Friday. 
Blessings,
Janet

Things That Go Bump In the Night completed.

I had to fill in the white space. . .Black cat added.  He has a heart shape on his underside. . .why I have him sitting.  Not sure it's a scary picture, but Daughter requested the cat.

I used Prismacolor pencils, ink, pan pastels, watercolor pencils and #2 for drawing.

Thank you Eva and Kristan for a wonderful Paint Party Friday where artists make this a fun, learning experience and social Party. I enjoy meeting everyone. This, in itself, is a true treasure. Thank you for leaving a comment and I hope to see you soon.

Things That Go Bump In The Night


My daughter told me to do a scary picture. . .This is my first attempt.  I guess she is practicing me up for Halloween.  I just make a couple of Halloween aprons. . .getting ready. Did you notice the brooms lined up like cars under the Tree House?

I used Prismacolor pencils, ink, pan pastels, watercolor pencils and #2 for drawing.
