You might remember that a few posts back I showed you the reference photo for the latest NZ Art Guild Challenge. At the time, I was sure it was the colours that would inspire me – and I was right. I tackled the subject twice today; once in acrylics and once with ink, oil pastels, soft pastels and acrylics. Neither are an accurate representation of the image and in one I have moved windows, resized some parts, generally messed with it a bit. In the second I was thinkng mainly about colour blocks, the Impressionists, ghosts (don’t ask!) and light.
For me the NZ Art Guild challenges are a great opportunity to tackle a subject, style or material/s I might not normally go for; a chance to have a creative play with no real pressure. So here are my two most recent entries:

Cath, I LOVE where you have taken the reference photo,,,
especially in the second piece. Just enough information left,,,
a perfect abstract!
And wow, those colors!
PS: I hope you’ve gotten to see your Grandson,,,I cannot remember when you said you were going, and it seems
it all runs together for me lately, having been away from home so much this summer.
