Thank you so much for your kind words of comfort about the recent loss of our sweet cat. We are heartbroken and miss him very much. It will take time to heal as we know from experience.
I thought I would post something more cheerful today. I'm still enjoying most of the lessons with Lifebook 2017 (Willowing Arts). A recent lesson's focus (with Tamara Laporte) was to use minimal supplies. I enjoy mixed media and was surprised at how much I enjoyed using just 3 Tombow markers to mix colours along with one more flesh colour marker and black & white pens.
The 9x12 journal page below makes me think about sisters, I'm lucky to have three of them :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,
Shirleyx

So beautiful dear Shirley!♥
This is stunning Shirley with amazing artwork. I can see a touch of sadness in the eyes which is maybe how you still feel. Thinking of you
Love Chrissie xx
A stunning page Shirley, I'm so enjoying seeing what you've made after your classes. Gorgeous colours and all of those beautiful flowers framing the two girls.

Your journal page is fantastic, those faces are really wonderful. I am sure you are still heartbroken over the loss of your sweet cat, it takes time to recover. Hugs, Valerie
That is really very amazing, you are so talented!
Big hugs Anja
What wonderful artwork Shirely, the faces are so beautiful and your colours are so prety, fabulous composition.
Yes it does take time, I still think about my lovely boy Cuillin after about six years and with having my new puss Teallch, I still talk to him as he is buried in our back garden, they are so much part of the family, Kate x
Wow, just three pens? This is sensational in every way, Shirley! You are - as I've always said - a true artist!! Hugs, Darnell
Oh my goodness--this may be my favorite so far, Shirley! Absolutely gorgeous & so artistic!
Wow, what a wonderful creation, so beautiful, and yes, they look like sisters !
My heart feels with you, I know what it's like, still miss my little doggy, although it's 7 years ago... Love and hug, Enny
What a lovely mixed media piece and what a wonderful composition!!! The faces and flowers are absolutely beautiful. Love the colors too!

Wow, this is just gorgeous Shirley and your limited palette has worked beautifully. Each of these that you have done is better than the last, and I think I love this one best of all. As an only child I can appreciate how lovely it must be to have three sisters. x
Sorry to read about Archie, Shirley, losing a family 'member' is so difficult, thinking of you...
Love your card and it is nice you could create to cheer up...xx ♥[aNNie]
Oh, wie wunderschön, Shirley.
Und du hast herrliche Farben genommen, es sieht einfach toll aus.
Richtig magisch.
Ich hoffe, es geht dir bald besser, und ich umarme dich...
Herzlichst Sophie
Such a wonderful page, wish I could do this. Sending lots of hugs and Skipper sends purrs.
Oh, Shirley, this is my favourite so far. For using only three colours you did a magical job creating something so bright and beautiful. I can't stop starring at this one.
Very very artsy Shirley love how they look like sisters also. Fabulous use of colours as usual.
Warm crafty hugs from Shirl x x x

Shirley, I saw this over on FB and had to come over and say, "How full-of-light these exquisite souls are!" Truly an artist in every way, you never cease to amaze me. Beautiful colors, lively expressions, peaceful and serene femininity, and the loveliness of nature - all wrapped into this soul-touching masterpiece! hugs, de
Your sweet young Ladies look so nice, a couple in harmoy. I love the colors and flower decoration very much. Great painting. You are a good student.
Greetings

A lovely canvas Shirley, with such gorgeous tones from just three markers.
Love the faces surrounded by flowers.

Skipper sends extra hugs and purrs.
Oh this is lovely, Shirley - my sister is gone now, and I miss her like crazy. You've given me a great burst of memories, and I am truly grateful!
Imagine having three sisters - how wonderful.
I'm also having a hard time imagining using only three plus one colours, but it sounds like a good experiment and you have certainly succeeded in creating many colours. I love this painting, maybe one of your best? and the way you have arranged the flowers around the girls and the little house is terrific.
Beautiful twins,what a lovely mixed media piece. Love the use of colours. Greeting Janny
Hello Dear Shirley

Take care and be gentle with yourself.

Hi Shirley, I am in awe of the talent you have. What an amazing page, their faces are so expressive with the colours used and the use of shadow and highlight you have given them such beauty. A piece worthy of a frame and place in the house where it can be admired for its beauty. Take care and know that life will get better.
Hey Shirley , I don't have to buy stamps anymore your paintings are so beautiful an unique, please go on with making them , now you are a real artist, your artwork is so beautiful, I really admire it!!
