This is Dare #15 over at "The Bright Owl" blog.
So far I am pleased with the out come of this painting. The mosaic border is taking a while to do.
2 pieces of driftwood I painted. Bailey seen the Alligator and wanted her big brother, Anthony to have it. So I gave it to her for him. I didn't get to drill holes and add wire for hanging. I am sure Paw Paw Walter can do that.
This is angel for Bailey to hang in her room.
I was going to have a border around the painting, but decided against it. I still need to shade the shrimp and the bubbles.
Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment.
come back again to see the finish picture.
here is the Zentangle Dares #4 and Dare # 5 over at "The Bright Owl" blog.
Another picture. My sister, Cathy posted a picture of two raw shrimp shaped liked a heart and said she thought it would make a good painting. Well I tried to found a big piece of driftwood to paint it on, but had no luck. I will keep looking for that right piece of driftwood and if it ever comes my way I would like to paint a heart shaped shrimp.
Bailey seen this painting on my table and said "Patty, I know what kind of shrimp those are". So I asked "what kind". She said "Raw shrimp". I thought that was so funny.

come back soon to see how I am progressing with this painting.
This Dare #2 and Dare #3 over at "The Bright Owl" blog. It is amazing to see how everyone uses the same template, but the finish project is so different. Go check out the Dare challenge at The
Bright Owl


This is one of my 365 pictures that I took. Several of my friends said that I should paint it. Well this is my verison of that picture. I still have a ways to go. Want to paint a moasic boarder.
Over the past few months I have become interested in
Zentangle. I did not think I could do
these beautiful designs. But with the
internet and a little bit of searching I started teaching myself some of the
patterns that is used in this art.
To my surprise I have done a few pieces and I must say I
am pretty satisfied with them.
I stumbled across the blog called “The Bright Owl” where
there are Zentangle Challenges. They give you a basics shape and then you creative
a miniature masterpiece. http://thebrightowl.blogspot.com/
Well I have enjoyed doing these 3 x 5 tiles (which is a
piece of paper). For some reason I have been doing them in pencil verses
ink. I would like to sometimes in the
future creative some type of border along a door in my house using these tiles. I am going to see if I can mod podge them to a 3 x 5 square piece of wood. I am hoping the pencil does not smear when sealing it in with mod podge, then I will seal it with a spray clear varnish.
Here is the template they gave us to work with.
