"Be Wise" Owl

I seem to be in an owl mood at the moment.

Mixed-media is not really my forte but I found a small canvas I had prepared ages ago which had been covered in tissue paper giving it texture. So I thought go for it.  I added paint and paper from an old dictionary and then drew and painted the owl.  Added more paint and stenciled "be wise".  I think he is kind of cute and is sitting proudly on my desk.

Summer or Color - Orange

The Summer of Color challenge will soon be wrapping up as this is the last week for a colour challenge. It has been such fun and so enjoyable seeing everyone's varied interpretations.

Well my last monochromatic painting for a while, and this week it is in orange, as always size 5x4, using one pot of acrylic paint.  Also a Martha Lever style watercolour flower.

This week's fellow has obviously enjoyed the party!

Pop over the Kristin's blog to see who else is playing as next week will be the last in the Summer of Color 2011 party.
