Word Path • Old Words with New Art

Here are some pieces from my final collage. I just loved these two sections of my final collage piece!
I made the collage art to include a Word Path, you can see the full artwork when scroll down.
As I have mentioned before, this was an assignment for the Lilla Roger's course, Make Art That Sells. What a great way to build up a portfolio.

Everyone has a word path. One word leads to another.

Word Paths have been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

For the May Flower Challenge you can post your flower creation, whether it is a doodle, drawing, photograph, collage or painting. This challenge has been started by Lori Moon, fellow blogger, talented photographer and jewelry artisan. Sign up and join in on the flower fun. Can't wait to see what you create as well! Please note: You do NOT have to participate every day. Play along on a specific day each week or only once - whatever inspires you.

Join the challenge, here, it is going to be fun.

I love this challenge not because I have a love for drawing, painting and printing flowers but it is an excellent way to build up your motif or reference library. It also keeps your drawing hand in motion and the creative flow becomes a part of your being.

May Flower Challenge Day Fifteen • Twigs and Blossoms

Here is my final piece at 18 x24. Follow my post photos and you can see my steps from start to finish.

How things started at my desk this morning. I knew I wanted to build my blossoms on the twigs so I used acrylic ink and painted the blossoms with waterclolors.

Twigs as my base, this image has been in my head all week, so glad to put it on paper.

A great start, I was going to stop here and finish tomorrow but I was inspired to finish as I saw the lovliness in the buds develop in paint.

Pink Blossoms for day fifteen of the May Flower Challenge . Really enjoyed getting the paints out again after a week not painting.

If you want to start the challenge, each day you can post your flower creation, whether it is a doodle, drawing, photograph, collage or painting.
