5-Day Challenge: Days 2 and 3

Here's a quick post on the results to date of my 5-Day Challenge, just to keep me honest!

After the blue pregnant lady in progress from Day 1, I switched to blank surface for Day 2. This is what I came up with:

background in waiting, 12x12 on wood panel

On Day 3 I had plans to continue the soft wash treatment on this background and see where that would lead me, but instead I got the idea to play with Bombay ink and ended up with this:

work in progress, 12x12 on wood panel

I love where this is going. It's such a new direction for me and I've no doubt it was directly influenced by the palettes we created in Mary Beth's Primary Colors workshop at S.A.W. I never expected it to go there, I just followed my intuition - one insight at a time.

I love it when that happens.

Day 4 coming soon...

I love how this one is progressing. I kind of like it just the way it is...but I'll just sit back and watch. ;0)

Thank you so much ladies!

@ Rebecca - I didn't change much on it, I just finished painting unpainted squares & polished it up a bit.

@ Dana - Welcome to my space! :)
