Summer of Color - Show and Tell

Well this is the final week of Summer of Color 2011 and a great huge thanks to Kristin for doing such a fabulous job on this and for all her hard work put into keeping us all entertained for 10 weeks. I have had a ball, met loads of lovely new people and also grown in my art.

I would also like to thank everyone who has looked at, or commented on my blog throughout all these weeks, your comments mean so much and have spurred me on no end.

For my front cover I took something from each week and then redrew and painted. Each small picture is 1.5 inches square.


To see how each colour and subject looked like together, I montaged a copy of each week onto one page.

These are general pictures of my little art book, so you can get the overall idea.




Now onto the flowers.  This is the front cover, one flower in each  colour.
And this is a montage of each of the 8 colours.

These flowers were painted into an art book the same size as the one above, so I now have two nice keepsakes. When I get a moment I think I will add bits and pieces to the spines to make them even more special.



That's the end of Summer of Color 2011.  You should , therefore, pop over to Kristin's blog from Monday onwards and see all the other wonderful show and tells.
