Today is Paint Party Friday #18!
Make sure to visit all the wonderful artists and join in yourself!
This week I have been slightly discombobulated with my sleep. Painting when I can! I promised to show you the Brother to Bubbles, Meet Perk my Purple Prince! Also banished to the garage because of my families disdain! Again, they say he's scary.
I've continued to work on my chair which is a way bigger task than anticipated! The original plans for the four chairs were pretty cool, but I can't find the sketches done a few years ago! So I will be winging it!
I started painting what I could remember of my original plan. But the chair took on a life of it's own. What started out quite contrived was painted over, for a new direction. Even I'm surprised at the process and the outcome. Can't wait to see the finished product! I still have the front rungs to contend with, Second coats on the bottom and more tweaking! Then many coats of varnish!
I had some stripes and polka-dots on the bottom rungs, Darling daughter complained that it was boring and not really me! I laughed knowing it wasn't complete. But she was right, it was just way too planned out! I'm a spontaneous person, and so is my art! If nothing else, people will smile at my eccentric chairs! I've always been bold with color, no point in stopping now! Happy Paint Party Friday everyone!

ReplyDeleteSo whimsical and funky! Love!
ReplyDeleteI'd really love to know what exactly makes bubbles and his brother scary. Eyes? mouth? I think they are both delightful.
ReplyDeleteWell that made me smile...what a cute dog....and that chair...wow!
ReplyDeletei think the painting would look great in a child's room, as would the chair.
ReplyDeleteYour chair is far from boring its wonderful with great colours and so much fun. Love your painting above it would make fab birthday cards. Annette x
ReplyDeleteHi Giggle! I love your poochie doggie. Don't put him in the garage, he should be seen. As for the chairs, I think they will go perfect where ever you put them. If I paint mine as I said I was going to, they will stay with my dining room table. The more color, the better. Excellent chairs. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI am loving all the delicious colors and patterns in your work- so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF,
Stephanie
I would LOVE to sit on that chair (once it is dry of course)! Fantastic! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteYour chairs are great but my heart goes to the Purple Prince and when I called in my consultant, 5 yr old Reese she loved him also and wanted to see more so we explored and she said she loved everything! Thanks!
ReplyDeletePerk is adorable, Love the bright fun colors. The chair turned out awesome.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...Perk went perfect with Bubbles Pup! LOVE your chair art very much! HAPPY PPF!
ReplyDeleteLove, LOVE, love it!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou have such a delightful style!!
Oh no, not banished to the garage again! Poor you! I think this little fella is just cheeky - bit of glint of mischief in his eye, don't you think? I kind of like that your paintings have an 'edge' to them, now that I'm seeing more. I wonder what they look like all in a row. Do you think they come alive at night and climb off the canvas to run around your garage causing mayhem?
ReplyDeleteYour chair is very cool. And now your dog has hypnotizing eyes! Julie
ReplyDeleteSuch strong unique colors! Awesome work on these!
ReplyDeleteI like the odggy - i think he is fun! I can totally see it hanging in a little coffee shop or something - not a garage!!! fun chair too! i like your work its happy!

ReplyDeletePoor Perk and Bubbles....being banished to the garage, and they're so cute.
ReplyDeleteYour chairs are fantastic!
Your chair is delightful. Good luck on the others. This one is certainly an attention grabber.
ReplyDeleteI find Perk sweet and adorable. Such fun colors. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when projects develop a mind of their own? I'm loving all the colors and energy. Awesome work! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteYour chairs are so fun (what a great project!) and your doggie is sweet!

Perk the Purple Dude is not scary, he is adorable!

ReplyDeleteHeehee...I think Perk looks like he's saying "let's go play and have some fun"!! What a cute pup! Your chair has so much cheery energy to it! Love it!
ReplyDeleteCartwheels - that is what your work makes me want to do...mad cartwheels all over the place! I love the way you splash colors around..just looking at your pieces makes me want to celebrate every moment....love that! Perk rocks I think he's a scream and the chair - well, I LOVE that the process just sort of had its way with you...this is what needed to come to life and it's so darn good.
