It's good for me to have
challenges like this one,
it helps to focus my butterfly brain.
I enjoyed Week 2 with
Dina Wakley's
and I did this one for my friend,
Carmen, over at Whoopidooings.
She is expecting a baby and has
been suffering with the heat.
She's discovered that the only way
for her to cope is to consume
vast quantities of ice pops!
I painted this on a 5"x7" canvas board,
and used;
gesso,
acrylic paint,
water soluble wax crayons,
oil paint sticks,
POSCA paint pens,
charcoal pencil,
and Glossy Accents.
I used Glossy Accents to make
it look icy cool.
Thank you for dropping by :)

ps Carmen, this will be in the
post to you on Monday!

Jo, the colors (colours!) are extraordinary! The blend of yellow-orange with that perfect blue background. Wow! I am so loving this one! I'm sure it will give Carmen a nice boost! You are talented AND thoughtful.

I love it- perfect summer canvas. I really like how you can see the layres through the ice pop painting. This reminds me of a vintage advertisement.

Oh wow - here I'm sat, melting but wanting to catch up on the blogs... and I see this! You are lovely Jo :D I adore it :DLove the colours... and that blending as always sends me in a jealous tizz!
And I totally showed myself up at the weekend eating an ice-lolly while walking around the bootfair, oblivious to it melting all down my top! Can't take me anywhere :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you :D
