Happy Paint Party Friday!!!
Last weekend I never made it around to all the Paint Party Friday blogs because we have been having internet issues. Fingers crossed.....looks like the problem has been resovled. So today I have been MADLY catching up on emails, and I will probably spend the rest of the day catching up on replying to emails and reading blogs!
Last Sunday I started an e-course called *BIG ~ a fearless painting adventure*.
Doesn't that sound awesome? Well it is!
It is hosted by Connie at Dirty Footprints Studio.
I am learning to enjoy the process of painting and not worry about the final product. This is a lesson I need to learn for all areas of my creativity. So many times I am so wrapped up with the image, in my head, of the final piece that I dont enjoy the process. Then when it doesn't work out many times I dont finish that piece.
Here are a few of my paintings from this week....
This whole process is like art therapy for the artist! I really need that since my creative juices just havent been flowing that well lately.
Take some time to check out all the creativity over at the Paint Party!
Have an awesome weekend!

This is awesome! Don't you just love Connie?! :) I took her class over at 21 Secrets and had a blast.
Glad you're getting your "mojo" back! It'd truly be a shame if you lost it forever!!!
These works are very strong, generous use of quality materials give you ...
I am drawn to the Heart Painting. Nice bold colors and strokes. HAPPY PPF!
Juicy, yummy paintings! Enjoy your class!
I love the heart painting as well. Nice work. I'm familiar with Connie and her work and classes. She's a lot of fun and her "big" paintings are just awesome. Enjoy. Happy PPF!
Love all the colors and boldness of these! So great you are getting to take the eclass. Happy PPF!Theresa
love your vibrant use of colour.de
Happy PPF and love your freedom with the paints. Annette x
Pues parece que el curso te está dando buenos resultados, me gusta tu trabajo, original.
its been a theme today this whole giving your creativity full reign and not worrying about the outcome. i could do with a dose of that as i often get annoyed at the difference between how i imagine it and how it actually turns out. i also particularly love the heart picture-its yummy!
Looks like a lot of fun!! Love the colours you've been working with and both pieces (especially the hearts)!
your paintings are wonderfully lively, sweet colors too.
Hi again! I love your hearts! I am taking the 21 Secrets class with Connie at Dirty Footprints. She has a really fun style and personality! Happy Paint Party Friday!
Enjoying the process and not worrying about the final product - that's such a great way to get into painting. Just like you, I have something already in my head and of course it NEVER turns out like that and then I'm disappointed, angry... I could need some BIG! I love the bold colors in your heart painting, they're yummy.
Lovely therapy for me to see these..they are paintings with great energy. I like them a lot!
Happy PPF!
Love your two paintings, they are so fun and free!!! Happy PPF!
I LOVE these paintings, especially the second one- the colors and shapes are incredible!
Happy PPF (a day late ;))

There's nothing like giving yourself permission to just start slapping paint around, is there?
These are very joyful.
You have been industious creating away for PPF with your interesting and vibrant pieces. Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving a PPF comment...I really appreciate it.Have a good weekend!
Glad I joined the party. LOve the colors and mood these paintings evoke. Very nice! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
OHMYHECK Abaco! ... what a beautiful place for inspiration. Going to check out that course you are taking. Your work is very inspirational, love the mermaids, colors shells. Anxiously awaiting staff dog info ... thx for the visit ... love the way PPF has brought us togther!
These are lovely! Letting go and just painting is so freeing and usually yields a nice result as well as being lots of fun!
Love these pictures! Wont they lolok wonderful framed?! xx
Many of the participants this week seem to be struggling with similar issues and are resorting to "play" to loosen up or find their creativity again. These look happy and playful!
AHHHHHHHHH! Love your artwork, feels like my own... almost brings a tear! Thanks for stopping by =) I'm a follower friend!
XOXO

Here's to the fLoW! Happy PPF!
Sounds like a fab course and if your benefiting from it then ye ha ;0)
Love Dawn xx
I need to be reminded to go with the flow and give over to the process too. Pretty artwork♥
I love the color, freedom and energy in these.
I´m another Connie girl.Or should I say Connie chica? :D I´m not ready for Big yet but I might be joining you all some time.
What a lovely energy/colours here at your blog! Have fun.
I need to take that class, it looks like it is very freeing. Love what you did.
I love these and can see the fun you are having with the freedom of just paint!!!
Love the energy in these pieces. It looks like it got your creative juices flowing!!! Love the heart picture especially! Gorgeous colours. I know how you feel with the creative block, as you know I've been going through one myself. I think I worry too much about my direction and where my art is taking me rather than enjoying the process. Hopefully now I'm back on track. Great work!!! :0)
Vibrant colours and those hearts are just bursting with love..remember Felix?......"I'm Happy and Peppy and Bursting with Love"... Very Lovely work!
Annabelle
