Bloom True Online Art Class

3/25/2013

Recently I completed the five week Bloom True online art class by Flora Bowley. It was alot of fun and I learned some new painting techniques and approaches for creating my paintings.

I'm uploading photographs I took of one of my paintings--basically how the painting changed from week to week I just went with the flow of what I felt "called to do" each time I approached my painting.

I'm thinking the last version will be the final--though that could change!

Spring Flowers in Seattle Photo by Kathryn V. White

I love all the blooming that occurs as winter's fingers fade and spring imprints the earth with colorful new life.

Be sure to take some time to enjoy the changes in weather and vegetation.

And, by the way, what's your favorite spring flower?

Take A Peep!

Marshmallow Peep Art

It is that time of year for the 2013 Seattle Times Peeps Contest. The deadline has already passed to submit your entry to the contest, but you can still upload pictures of your peep creativity to their website.

For a dose of fun, go there now to see what people have created!

And even if you choose to not submit, it is still fun to create your own art, dioramas, sculptures, and art projects of marshmallow peeps. Find some friends and family to do this with and take the peep challenge on!

Shown on this blog posting is one of the marshmallow peep dioramas created at Susan Lee Pullen's Women's Creativity Group in March 2013.

Hearts in the 'Hood

Heart Rock Photo by Kathryn V. White

I recently enjoyed Eric Telchin's new book, See A Heart Share A Heart, and was inspired to look for hearts as I walked my neighborhood.

I've found hearts before (see my blog post He(art) in the Park), but with Eric's book in mind, I was on a mission to find as many as I could in nature or as natural as you can get while living in an urban area!

And you know what? I found we are most definately surrounded by love.
