Pure precision work-that’s what is NOT on this canvas. There are no scientific formulas here. But there is fun. I had my spark of inspiration which took me out of my head and into my art- Dina Wakley’s new paint lids stencil and a canvas. The circle theme made me happy so I grabbed old poker chips and jumped right in…

WOW. Love those poker chips!! And the colors are fabulous!!!! LOVE.
Sweet, the poker chips are fab! xox
Darn! The video was unavailable to me…but I sure do love seeing the result of you having fun! 🙂
New stencil, silks…..your playing with your new supplies and I love the result! The texture to the poker chips was the perfect touch.
Hi Carolyn-
These are so fun. I love finding new materials from stuff around the house. The writing and embellishments on them are a great effect as well. Thanks for the video, always a pleasure to watch you work.
This is so fun! I love that you used poker chips! That is so not what you expect on a page, yet it makes perfect sense!
Counting the days now till my little one is back at school and I can have fun too.
What a terrific idea (using a stencil to echo your drawing/painting). Will try to remember to do that. Never got around to doing any canvases this month, but I do have something fun planned for PPF tomorrow.

This is one of my favorite palettes- definitely fun and playful. I love what you did here with the poker chips. That looks like nice messy fun!
Poker chips!!! Good grief, I have a ton of them….now they will be covered with paint!

Very fun! Loved the video, Carolyn.
Lovely, happy piece! Valerie
FUN! Makes me want to play with you. Glad we’re meeting up again in October!!
sometimes it is important to just let go and no precision 🙂
Fab colours and love what you did with the poker chips!
Wow~ Carolyn ~ I do believe you have the most painting fun and colors! ~ What a great idea and your creation is such a blessing to see this morning ~ Bright and Happy! ~ (A Creative Harbor)
Fun sounds like a perfectly valid reason for a painting to me and this looks like the fun you had making it spilled right out onto the canvas!
Great video! Loved the final painting too.
Carolyn! Did you really just use pink and orange together? Side by side? Overlapping? Uh, huh! You sure did, and, surprisingly, I love it! Who knew? What an absolutely fun page! I love that you give in to “randomness,” which is so hard for me to do. Note to self: throw away your ruler! Thanks for the inspiration today!
Gorgeous! Fun’s the way to go. 🙂 Great video!
This is PURE fun, and a great message!
Happy PPF,
Stephanie

Carolyn, you make it all look so easy and so much fun. Just what creating should be all about. And the results are always beautiful!!
That’s what I love about art, the very fact that we can play and have such fun. Happy PPF.

Gorgeous canvas. Love the “play”fulness of the piece. Sorry I couldn’t access the video, but I enjoyed seeing the end result of all this PLAY!!
Rats- wish it worked for you. I’ll try to bribe the computer overlords so it works for you next time.
Oh I love this. So bright and playful. Lovely vibrant energy about it.
Fun watching your little video of your play process and seeing the sweet outcome! HPPF on SATurday night!
Your video was fantastic. I loved how spontaneous your painting was and how great it turned out.
