ICAD's 27-35 and Summer of Color, Pale Pink and Charcoal

 It was a diverse week of index cards for me.  I really enjoyed this week both in art and life in general.  We've had some beach time, pool time, relaxing doing a puzzle time.  The best news is it's only Friday so we have a whole weekend ahead of us!  Yay!  I hope you all had wonderful 4th of July festivities.  Happy Friday!
 

Day 27 Doodles
 
Day 28.  Acrylics on Gesso'd index card.  I have painted Leadbetter point several times.  I've even painted it on an Artist Trading Card, so this is only the second smallest version I've done.
 
Day 29.  Since I still had wet paint on my pallette I decided to do another ocean scene.
 

Day 30. Hand torn, water colored book pages and Gelly roll pen on a blue index card. Found poem
 
Day 31. My contribution to the neutral party. Inspired by the underside of a mushroom cap. Micron and colored pencil
 
Day 32. Every Sharpie I won.
Day 33.  When I did the neutral version above someone on FB mentioned it would be fun in color...so here it is.
Day 34 for the 4th of July.  Watercolor and Gelly roll pen on a coffee stained card.  This was inspired by a cute scarf I wanted to buy...when I went back to you buy it they were just selling the last one...

Day 35 ICAD and this week's Summer of Color.  Pale Pink and Charcoal.  Watercolors.

  2. Lots of fun art to view this week. I enjoyed seeing the 31 star flag (who got left out?) which was just perfect for the Fourth of July celebrations. And I love your rose. I did one too, as did a couple of other PPFers. Loved all your beautiful works. So glad you made it to the party.

    1. Well, I see I can't count very well or type very well. Not 31, but 21. BTW, I forgot to mention that your leaves on the rose painting look so real I could almost feel the thorns nearby. Sorry you missed out on the scarf you wanted to buy.

    2. I didn't count stars or stripes, just tried to make it look pleasing to the eye. Thanks Faye!

  10. There is so much to love here, it's hard to know where to start.

    I think my favorites among these are the ones depicting mushroom gills--both the color version and the B&W version. I love how graphic simplicity and repetition can have such a huge impact.

    Thanks for sharing all your beautiful cards!

  23. These are really fabulous!! I love how you have integrated the Summer of Color colours as well. The flowers are gorgeous. I thought my favourites were the seascapes, and then I saw the other cards. I can't pick a favourite. Great work. :)

  24. WOOWW Rita!! So much hard work. I especially love Day 29 & 30!

  25. So many things! Too many to comment!
    The first one that caught my eye was the torn paper boat. So cute! But when I looked closer, the pages from which it was torn seem to be filled with some kind of danger-filled poem. :D

    The colorful sharpie triangles and that muted rose are both very cool!
