Great stuff, especially the WIP of the girl with the owl. Hope your daughter likes the piece you made just for her.<br /><br />As for acrylics--I've never used them at all so I get what you mean about leaving your comfort zone. But you seemed to adapt to the new medium pretty well!Sabinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345225002773583958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107827914733350494.post-75024771441052003782013-08-17T13:43:31.058+02:002013-08-17T13:43:31.058+02:00Love all the drawings! ~ The bookmarks are great, ...Love all the drawings! ~ The bookmarks are great, would love to see those fun girls peeping out the top,luring you back to see what happens next! I suppose it makes sense that you can expand your comfort zone, by sneaking over the lines sometimes... I agree about not liking to waste paint,so I usually use watercolor pencils ~ no waste there! :))) You'll get used to the new world you're in ~just takes a bit of time. Sending happy thoughts, and applause for your fun art!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10229439546427952540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107827914733350494.post-26573266837383939792013-08-16T21:41:01.830+02:002013-08-16T21:41:01.830+02:00Love your play with acrylics... the girl with the ...Love your play with acrylics... the girl with the owl is beautiful, even it is a WIP...it is always fun to work out of the comfort zone ;) Hope you are a bit happier today ♥ Conny<br />http://piaromsartjournaling.blogspot.dePiaRomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102446458057514540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107827914733350494.post-18231998341732901062013-08-16T15:30:59.971+02:002013-08-16T15:30:59.971+02:00Catherine, I love your post today.

We just have to trust that when the children are growing up we have done our best. Your daughter is also having a special time and it's an exciting time for her. Hugs to you both. I love all your paintings today, the finished one with beautiful eyes and all the WIP.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006293795541608715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107827914733350494.post-70811649901186352542013-08-16T11:03:32.274+02:002013-08-16T11:03:32.274+02:00You did a wonderful job with the acrylics, but tho...You did a wonderful job with the acrylics, but those bookmarks are my favorite. LOVE them! I always use my leftover acrylics on pages in my art journal or on a blank canvas. That way it's never wasted ...denthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253123767521383516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107827914733350494.post-18378821562377841142013-08-16T09:41:54.443+02:002013-08-16T09:41:54.443+02:00The girl and the cat is really fantastic.

I would be inconsolable so I am mightily impressed that you are back creating... I intend on putting my offspring to work on the weekend making me peanut butter and white chocolate brownies, the exquisitely illustrated recipe for which was sent to me by someone who is generous and crazy thoughtful... thank you dear one... and hugs to you...xxTracey FKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052306649633275907noreply@blogger.com
