The Future is ....

I am a member of a few etsy teams - most of them are based around location, or a shared interest - painters, mixed media artists, jewellers, etc. Inspiration Avenue is different in that it includes members from all around the world, who all work in different media, with the common theme of wanting to encourage and inspire each others work. The team has just started a weekly challenge - last week the theme was "summer" and this week it's "orange". So, after sitting out last week, I have pulled my finger out this week and finished this little mixed media canvas! Maybe I could cheat and say it covers both weeks! All the entries will shortly be posted here. Anyone can take part in the weekly challenge - next week's theme will be posted on our blog shortly. It's good sometimes to have a starting point to work from, and it's also a good incentive to produce new work, even if you only take part now and then (I'm not expecting to be able to take part every week myself, I can't paint that fast, steam would be coming off my paintbrush!) If you're interested in joining the team, you can find out more here. We're a small-ish and very friendly group, so it's easy to get to know us. And we're all nice and normal (well, other than the occasional frog throwing, but that's another story!)
