Today's mantra: KISS. Keep It Simple, Silly.
Just fulfill a few lesson guidelines:
√ use simple shapes,
√ use a variety of shapes,
√ scribble inside a stencil shape,
√ stamp inside a stencil shape,
√ make a shape outline with a paintbrush,
√ make a shape outline with a marker,
√ make a solid shape with paint,
√ vary the size of shapes in a single piece,
√ vary the techniques in a single piece, and
√ when using line or pattern, don't let either dominate.

Oh my, my, my, what I have missed! I love all these shapes, explorations, experiments, lines, color, energy, personalities, and of course, your words. Wonderful work, Dottie!
Laurie, how was your time away? I thought of you often. I both missed seeing daily posts from you and admired you for letting go. Thanks for your comments. I am working HARD in the class I'm taking!
I love those marbles falling down!
Fun, aren't they?! They took this piece into telling a little story : )
It was nice to get away, but now I need to get back in the art saddle. Yes, I can tell you're working hard. You just keep evolving. If a viewer is away too long, he/she does so at their own peril!
Love this piece,especially the green shape with all those varietions.
Fun to hear that you like the green shape with all its variations—some of those particular variations were accidental. I used a rubber stamp with paint, and it picked up and distributed the paint unevenly.
Oh Dotty, how fun you are! This is very Willy Wonka! Remember the magical candy creation room? (talking the original, the only one that matters, LOL) This looks like a wonderfully edible.... earring! I love it Dotty!
Thanks for your Willy Wonka edible earring interpretation, Sheila, speaking of how fun someone can be! This comment comes at a perfect time when I'm working hard, hard, hard to develop my skill in observing WITHOUT interpreting for my class (a subset skill to be used in conjunction w/ interpretation but being practiced right now in its purest form). It's so refreshing to break out of those lesson restraints to hear some grand interpretation!
