Lucky me: Instagram artist friend Kathy @digikat2 introduced me to artist Amanda @amanda_evanston who posted a video about painting hearts, with an open invitation to 'copy' her process. So 'copy' I did!
Every aspect of this painting experience put me in a happy place, including the fact that Kathy and I have decided to #PaintOutWinter by painting over one old painting at a time with the goal of shortening winter at the rate of one day per painting.

what FUN! And what a gorgeous process! Love this! It is the perfect thing for paint-overs, and for play! Happy love day!
This is my all time favorite so far, Dotty (I think:))
You could have any subject- faces, pears, even eggs. But it's the way you have put all the colors together, and including the collage pieces. Wonderful!
Beautiful! Love the colours and bits of collage. Appreciate the before photos. And the links - Happy Valentines to you Dotty.
Hi Dotty,
I met you in Jane Davies 100 Drawings class. I always appreciated your thoughtful comments and creative art. I've been following you for awhile... your posts brighten my mornings.
I love this piece! What fun... and vivid colors. Thanks for the intermediate photos too. I tried the links but could not get to the tutorial (: A belated happy valentine's day to you.
My new favorite! Similar but different. Colorful, happy, and eyecatching! Oh, and whimsical!
So fun, and pretty and cheerful Dotty :)
Thanks, Jen! I was so utterly content and joyful the whole time I painted. Happy love day back atcha : )
Love that you now have a new all time favorite!!! I totally agree and was thinking the same thing—could be any subject, which is genius, don'tcha think? Thanks for the nod to my color development and collage.
Thanks, Janet. The colors were fun to play with, and I love having at hand right now a little stash of colored-background print collage. HVD to you, too, a bit belatedly : )
Hi Carol! Great to hear from you; thanks for stopping by, and thanks for following me. Do you have a blog?
This piece was way fun to do—I got out some colors I rarely use. Felt good. Glad you enjoyed the process photos; I can never get enough of seeing the process photos of others.
Thanks, Carol! Whimsical is my kinda fun : )
Certainly brought ME good cheer; glad it seemed cheerful to you also!
