I received an email asking me how I got the texture in the sunflower painting in my last post. I used Golden medium molding paste. Love this brand it mixes easily with paint and I usually leave over night to dry. This piece I mixed the color right in with the paste and then added more color once it was dry. However sometimes I will wait until the paste is dry and then add the color, both yield great results.
My 5 km run today along the river in the sunshine was a breeze.Feels great to be back at the 5 km mark which is where I will stay for awhile. I have my mind set on a 10 km in the fall so any further then that and I will need to join a running group for motivation and of course the chit chat. For now just my music is enough and yup I am loving country. So right now I am hearting Luke Bryon, Tailgates and Tanlines and Vancouver Island girl Kylee Epp who has performed with some amazing artists and currently has four great songs on her site one of which is available on itunes.
Thought I needed a bit of a change so because we will be up at the lake I decided to get my hair cut way shorter than usual. I had a funky short cut when my kids were younger. Not loving my new cut but my hair grows fast so by middle of September it will have grown out. Therefore not posting a pic .LOL
On another note Kelly Rae Roberts, is an artist who I follow and admire. I have taken her course Flying Lessons and she is so generous in all that she shares. Her post today "the wisdom lives inside how we choose", is worth a read and as always she has an insightful way with words.
Smiles,
Kim
