Starry Inspiration with Art Anthology

Hello All! Today I'm up over at Art Anthology sharing my Starry Inspiration Canvas
This month the  Dream Team's challenge was "Art Appreciation" . For my project I choose Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night for my inspiration....
I started by pulling out any and all my blues.....

For my first layer of color was a heavy mix of Corlorations. After my mist dried I lathered on a mix of  several Blue Velvets....

Before my Velvets dried a used my catalyst  tool to add a ton of texture and movement to my canvas. I even mixed in a bit of Dimensional Crystal!

After my layer of blues dried I smoothed on a bit MUD (our new smooth paste) to form the base of my circles, which I quickly covered with a bit of Vegas Gold.

Before my layer of Vegas Gold could dry a pushed my 

Hurricane Stencil into the paint and added a bit more paint.

Which brought me to this stage......

For my finishing touches I added a quick platter of Raider and a Van Gogh quote.

A closer look just for fun....

While I know I am no Van Gogh.... 

I hope I have inspired you to play with your paints today!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Seeking Serenity in 2015.....

Hello All, I hope your year is off to a good start! Mine has been a bit rough over the last few months.... as you may have noticed by my missing posts. But the good news is I think that I am getting a handle on things and hopefully I will be back to myself soon! I just need to find serenity. Which is exactly what plan to do in 2015.

As you may know its become a bit of a tradition over at S.W.A.T. to start the year off with a resolutions for the first drill of the year and this year is no different.......

Drill #47

So that's it we challenge you to pick one word for 2015 and create one project to showcase that word.

*projects can be layouts, Art Journal Pages, Canvas or other Altered Projects.

For this month we really want you to be motivated so the winner of this months drills will receive a $20 Gift Card to the......

Now before you leave lets take a look at my word..........

To help me find Serenity I know that I will need to make time for my mind to be at peace and the only time that that truly happens is when my hands are covered in color and my Art Journal is on my desk. So that's were I started.... and this is the page that I ended up with.

To create my page I used Lindy's Stamp Gang mist, Art Anthology Gesso and a few drops of dimensional Crystals.

Thanks for stopping by today!! 

I hope that you will take the time to share your 
One Little Word Project with us over at S.W.A.T
