It has been warm here again but the "Delta Breeze" has come in the afternoon to keep it livable. Those wonderful breezes make me daydream of a picture I cut out of a magazine. Then the theme at
Inspiration Avenue is Sun-Kissed so I decided to create that picture. I started with water color pencils. I drew and used a wet paint brush to get the color. Then the hammock is made from a mesh bag and gesso. The palm tree is scrap paper (always a few scraps need to be included.. haha) The sun is stamped on tissue paper with some yellow watercolor behind it. The final touch was adding the small shell pieces.

Visiting from IA. Very nice work--makes me wish I was swinging in that hammock!
Thanks for visiting my site - Your vision of sun kissed is spot on! Who wouldn't want to be on that fun beach?!
The expression on the sun's face is so cute and the red lips add to its delight, this is a fun painting. I need those waves right now!
Thanks for visiting my blog - you have a lovely interesting blog and I really enjoyed your entry!
Wow, Amanda. This is one super mixed media piece. It is gorgeous beyond words. Love the hammock from a mesh bag. That sounds like something I would use. And of course, the shells add the perfect touch.
I can just imagine swinging in that hammock, underneath those palm trees, haha. Sweet. That sun doesn't look like he'd burn anyone :D

True mixed media! I want to hang out in that hammock and listen to the peaceful sound of the ocean. Beautiful work.
This is great Amanda. I particularly like the hammock. I'll bet it is even better in person where the texture is more evident.

Love the effect of all those layers & different materials. Oooh it makes me want to go on holiday!
Great for the IA sun kissed theme.
