Welcome! I’m Carolyn Dube – This colorful journey is all about the freedom of play!
There has been so much art goodness happening with Art Every Day Month. There has been loads of inspiration! Today, Michelle Ward’s Crusade #57 is my inspiration. Happily, both challenges are all about creativity and art. Michelle Ward’s Crusade this month deals with the music that makes you sing out loud. When I turn on my favorite playlist I just can’t help but sing along & feel great no matter my mood. This page was created while singing like a tone deaf fool but I had a blast doing it!
I am still on my raindrops kick. One of my favorite summer activities is to walk in the rain- it feels so freeing to not care if I get wet AND step in all the puddles. It’s getting cold here so I’ll have to create that feeling in my art because I don’t get excited about walking in freezing rain…
Started with paint and added modeling paste for a gentle texture.
The silhouette is added with plain old blue paint. Later I smudged some Portfolio crayons on her – she was just to stark with paint only.
The raindrops were made from a piece of fabric I stenciled while at Julie Fei-Fan Balzer’s class in NYC.
I stitched batting between the stenciled fabric and a piece of scrap on the back.
I needed this reminder today. It is so easy to get lost in my head and lose perspective. Thanks to Art Every Day Month I found the message I needed today!
