These less than thirty minute paintings are making me happy this week!! : )) I have to tell you that I feel like the Rachael Ray of the art world....LOL!!! She's got 30 Minute Meals and EVOO which translates to extra virgin olive oil and I've got 30 Minute Paintings and GESSO which equals HEAVEN!!!!! Anyway....the big brush is still going strong for now and I'm still feelin' it!!!

fill your heart with art and soft serve ice cream!!

just get the app SKETCHBOOK PRO.. it's like only $9.99 and once you get onto how to use and manipulate all of the brush and pencil features...you'll love it!

thanks for stopping by...always a pleasure hearing from a fellow artisan!

ciao bella!

Coucou ma chère Manon... Je vois que tu es aussi gourmande que moi! J'ai fait quelques aquarelles de gourmandises aussi... Je me suis dit qu'il valait mieux les peindre que de continuer à en manger si je voulais continuer à porter de petites robes!!!
Tes cornets de glace me donnent l'eau à la bouche...
Je te fais de gros bisous et je te souhaite beaucoup de courage pour l'important travail qui t'attend.
Merci pour ton gentil commentaire.
