It's paint party Friday
I pulled this quote
"Beauty is whatever gives joy."
Edna St.Vincent Millay
off my side bar as a starting point!
Coffee, home brewed with Starbucks
beans from Costco!
Gives me great joy!
It has always been an indulgence,
Obviously Color also fills me with joy too!!
Except I don't really like the two purple flowers
in this acrylic!! Help me out!
Any suggestions to make it cohesive?

| Burst of Summer |
Cupcake, and her hubby Beardo give me more joy than one mother deserves!
I am truly blessed to have a creative, amazing, kind son in law
who treats me like gold and a daughter who's a best friend!
This compilation is two photos spliced together
on Microsoft paint program!
Have you ever seen a guy with a beard like that who jogs?
Yeah, I haven't either!!
We had quite a chuckle about that this week!
Some beard hairs are now seven inches long.
Cupcake keeps the ruler near by to
measures it at least once a week!!
She loves her furry man!
It's kind of a trade off, instead of shaving
he has to shampoo and condition his beard!
Do you like beards?
Seems the men are more enamored
with them than the women!
Notice how well he blends in
with my art!!
We're cool like that!!

| Inside Summer |
Burst of Summer and Inside summer,
are done on canvas boards.
I really don't like the above painting at all!!
It drives me nuts everytime
I walk by it!
So I replaced it with this one!!
Which is "Inside Summer" framed!
Unfortunately the orange flowers
were cut out completely!!
This week I discovered
that some paintings
look UG-LY when edited!!
THIS color edit makes me nauseous!!
It reminds me of those mismatched
crocheted quilts. The ones
with wool from
every era all blended together
with no rhyme or reason.
This one doesn't do anything for me either.
But at least it's not as bad as the one above!
This is okay!!
Some of the colors mesh a bit better!
It's still strange for my eye!!
This one I don't mind! Would I hang it? Probably not!!
The color edits can be a comedy of errors....
I finished a few cute animals, and a word bird this week,
but I'll wait to post them.
Don't want to put you on sensory overload!!
Be sure to check out all the other
fabulous artist at Paint Party Friday!!
Join in and play along too!!
Everyone who creates is welcome!
Have a great weekend!
Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian Friends!!

lovely flowers this week!
Loving your gorgeous vibrant flowers. Have you tried outlining the ones you don't like in the first one with black? Happy PPF, Annette x
I was also going to suggest outlining those purple flowers in black. Love color and energy of your florals!
i love the pretty flowers!
I absolutely adore the vibrant flowers! As far as the two purples, I think they're lovely as is, but possibly you might enjoy the painting more if you made one of them red or some other colour. Your family looks fun! I love bearded men myself ;) as hubby well knows....
You are so funny. . . what's a 'word bird'? Since birds are my fave, I cannot imagine. Love, Love, Love Beards. Not a pink lover, but that one looks best. Blessings, Janet PPF
happy Canada Day to you and love all the picks... we have a furry man in our street and he is a joggy fiend... every day no matter what the weather... like the little glimpse into your world..xx
Love your gorgeous flower paintings!
What a wonderfully inspiring relationship you have with your daughter and son-in-law, too! :)
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

how fun to see your loving family and the beard of the family too.
plus your flowery art is oh so fun.
lovely weekend to you~
The only guy with a beard that jogs I have seen is Forrest Gump ;o)
Your flowers are fun, crazy and so cheerful! As for changing anything.... maybe some highlights in pink/ fuchsia? Happy PPF!
I think you should but a beard on one of the flowers!! lol Just kidding I actually like them just as they are :)
You are cracking me up!!! As always, love ALL the COLOR!!!!
cheers, dana
I love all of the bright wonderful colors. It is so much fun to see the changes and try to decide which one I like best. Sometimes it is hard to know and other times I know instantly that is the picture for me. Your work always feels so joyful.
Happy Canada day. Loving all your photos and your post. Your work is fab! I agree with others, maybe some black outlines. Have a great weekend!
Lovely bold paintings. What a blessing to have a wonderful daughter and son-in-law! As far as beards, my husband recently started growing one (just a goatee) but I love it on him and it makes his life easier too!
I think I very much like the two purple flowers. I feel they should stay in so I don't have any suggestions for how to change them, but I do think it's important for you to be happy with them, so I hope you'll do what you feel. Thanks for the abundance of vibrant art to look at!
Ohohh all those vibrant colors! :) Every one of them has something special. And I like the both paintings on your wall, it fits the interior. :)
I love colorful flowers, too. :) And no, I don't like facial hair on my man, I keep telling him to shave every time they get too long. :)
Love the "burst of summer" as it is...these two flowers looks different maybe because of their shadings? Happy PPF :)
Gorgeous vibrant colors ~ filled with wonderful energy ~ glad you are dearly loved by daughter and son-in-law ~ thanks,^_^ (A Creative Harbor)
Love your bright flowers!! Even the purple ones!
"Giggles" is a perfect name for you - that's what I was doing as I read through this post. :o) I love your bright cheery flowers AND your son's beard! (I have a facial hair fetish - except for the crap trying to grown on MY face!) Anyway - have a wonderful week. Hugs!
Hello, good to make it here again. I think your flowers could maybe do with a little splash of white here and there if you want. They are big and full of color, bold bright flowers, little specks of white could maybe make that color even more striking. Still I like them, and I love your turtles below, always such fun pieces, great!
These flowers rock! Very groovy but modern. Wonderful.
I think the flowers are beautiful, I'm not good in making flowers and have only made a few..
A great couple, your daughter and son in law :)
Have a lovely day! :)
I'm not thrilled with beards, but given the rate Hero's stubble would grow I prefer him bearded. The only problem is that when he does shave his neck he uses cheap shaving cream unless I am watchful to replace the can, and then he smells very ucky. So I get him a new can and all is well.
Anyway, beautiful colors!
Hummm, I like all your color edits. I think they came out great. I even liked the painting you replaced. The black frame really made it stand out.
