Welcome Christina!!! Yeah! I was very excited to see your painting!! I'm sure your friend loved it! Do you have any close up views of the music notes? I'm sure the detail is wonderful. Thanks so much for posting, it's a really fun composition.

(Be sure to check out the rest of the site, we are alot of fun here!)

Thanks for the friendly welcome and thanks for the compliment. I don't have any close-up photos and the painting lives at my friend's house now.... I am going there for a Christmas party and can get photos then. This painting was so inspirational to me, I am thinking you will see more from me by the end of the challenge. Can I enter more than one piece? :)

Looking forward to seeing you around.

LOL! Does cranking tunes to draw out a mystery critter while working on something count? If so, I got lots I could put in here.

How much time is left? Maybe......

Hi Christina!!!

Great entry

yep dawn.. we need a glass plate!!

Kris.. can't wait to see yours..

Ok.. I FINALLY and sitting here with my BLANK Canvas.. and trying to figure out how I'm gonna go about this challenge?

.. I love abstracts.. but I think they are HARD!!

Think I'm just gonna put on some music I like.. and go at it blindly!

Good Morning all! Thank all of you for all of your words of encouragement! Everyone here has such fabulous art, I get online to post a comment and then get lost looking at everyone's profile and then get lost in cyberspace.... so I haven't been ignoring all of your comments ..... I just got lost but I am back. Merry Christmas!

Wonderful abstracts here. I won't be participating in this for three reasons:

1. I am a coward - no way could I do an abstract - very high difficulty factor for me.

2. I have another commission that I have to start - a 24x30 so it will take some time

3. I am going to start on a holiday gift - a pastel.

This is based on the B52's Cosmic Thing Album. I love all the colors on the album, it reminded me of a rainbow. And I just love to sing and dance to the B52's. The girl in the middle, letting loose, is based on a silver CD in the middle and I added the same type of symbols that the B52s have on their CD to her.
