Mixed Media Minimalist


 Another minimalist painting in Mixed Media. I first used Modeling gel on the ACEO. . then water color. However, I did use some pastel and acrylic, but very little. I am having a time getting used to it. . .I cannot stop using pastels and loving them.

Thanks so much Kristin and Eva for hosting this wonderful Paint Party Friday every week. I appreciate all who visit and the comments you make. It helps me know that I should keep going. Thank you again. I try to visit as many of you each week as I can. It feels like I'll never get every box unpacked. . . but it is coming along.

 Squirrel on the Fence. . .in the backyard.
 Comes around to my house. . .Little Beggar.
 Yep. . .hungry. . .
 Horse in the pasture in the backyard.
 Been awhile, but we had an awesome Sundown.
 Sundown in with the dark clouds.
 Sometime I get to see . . .
 . .an Awesome vision.
 Blessings,
Janet

    Hi Janet! I like your mixed-media ACEO. I have never tried pastels and it seems that everyone loves them. Maybe I could get an inexpensive set and try them out.
    The pictures around your home are beautiful! What a cute squirrel(s) and I love that statue in front of your house! Happy PPF and have a great week! Hugs, Rasz

    I love pastels tto, but only use them May to October, then use oil or watercolor/mixed media. Your paintings are always so peaceful. Your photos this week are beautiful You are so blessed to live where you can see horses and other animals around you.
