Funny how often I get into a project and then all the wheels
fall off the wagon when I get to the part about following through with it. Such
is the story with my painted hearts…
Last year, having got a wild hair to try some painting with
paint [as opposed to paper] I painted up 18 little 4-inch by 4-inch canvasses
in primary colours and then in secondary colours. I had a blast and actually
came away from the experience with a bit more gumption for painting with paint.
And yet here I am one year later, and 16 of them sit and sit
and sit right to the left of where I am typing away. My son came in October and
took one home for his wife and another for him. I couldn’t have been more
pleased!!
I got another blinding flash a few weeks ago, and made up 11
little 4-inch by 4-inch canvas boards into heart paintings. It was great fun
dribbling the paint colour by colour, again with sort of the primary and
secondary idea.
A few APR’s back I popped one of the hearts at the top of my
post. I heard it was delicious. I actually have it taped up on my window and it
really DOES look quite enticing.
Anyway, today I got through my little Monday morning fit and
start by digitally fiddling with the canvas boards and making them into real
Valentine’s Day cards by printing them on postcards. Great fun, deposited me
into Monday afternoon in a better frame of mind, and I am actually quite
excited.
I was thinking I generally DO my APR
stuff on Wednesdays, but for a change I did it just Now and I hope it might
just get me back into posting on this blog with some consistency. I’ve hit a
bit of a hallway and things just aren’t firing on all cylinders, if you know
what I mean…
For this one I used several textures from Pixel Dust Photo Art and oh me oh
my are they amazingly juicy. I also fiddled in Pixlr Express, and I canNOT
BEgin to tell you what I did. Other than have a LOT of fun!!
I am hoping no one will mind me using their email address
from comments to send them a Valentine. And for those who comment but they are
no-reply, DO let me know your email and I will pop a Valentine off to you
straightaway!!
And thanks, Jenn,
for lighting the Valentine’s Day fire under me!!

Currie, you are doing beautifully with digital editing. This spectacularly beautiful. Was the border Pixlr? or Picasa?
Fantastic colours, like a rainbow on fire. Very original.
I'm just trying to finish my APR piece today in the hope I'll get it posted.
Now I have to follow up those programs/apps you have used.
Lovely vibrant colours,reminds me of a firework display in a darkened sky.
I love your Valentine, the colours are so bright and fabulous. I can see hearts and roses in there. It's truly gorgeous.
