Stream / lake Champlain

All UFO's needed to be finished this week so I valued bring as many items to the fair to sell.

 

More paint was added to the stream and then quilted with white thread in the white parts of the water. It's about 11" square so I mounted on a painted 12" canvas.

Doesn't the sound of water soothe your soul? It does mine.

 

This has been in the drawer for over a year. It's very small and only had the lake but I added a cairn and once mounted on black canvas it really pops and shows off the beautiful colors. And added one of my favorite quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Speaking of lake Champlain I am leaving today for a camping / family reunion on the lake at Ausable Point. My favorite place to go on the lake over on the New York side near Plattsburg and the weather is supposed to be sunny, high 70's low 80's. Can't get much better than that !

Have a wonderful week :-)

Stream painting - web streamlining

Nothing finished this week

 

To busy enjoying this

 

And this

I do have something in progress though. I tried to add white paint to make the stream look like it is running fast and foaming over the rocks. Looks good here when the paint it's wet.

 

But once dry - it fades a lot so I suppose I should add more. Should I quilt the water? If so do I use white or blue thread? Before or after I add more paint?

 

The other thing I'm stewing about is this I made a few weeks ago. I feel it needs something more but can't figure out what.

 

I am jazzing up the branches by couching on some mossy looking yarn but what after that?

What would you do?

 

I think I'll sleep on it

:-)
