April Is a Dog's Dream

BY MARILYN SINGER

april is a dog's dream

the soft grass is growing

the sweet breeze is blowing

the air all full of singing feels just right

so no excuses now

we're going to the park

to chase and charge and chew

and I will make you see

what spring is all about

Thank you for visiting my blog!

ARTastic in April

This month, ARTastic Challenge features an art inspiration piece by the late Evelyn Chapman.  This is the painting ~

The challenge criteria this month is an REMEMBRANCE, with the colour RED.

I tried to ground my page with cream and muted colours like the painting, so the red would pop. I created a page in my art journal, using up scraps (click to enlarge):



I'm sharing my page at Simon Says Wednesday for the Anything Goes theme.

Peach Melba

At White With 1 this month the colour focus is PEACH MELBA and there's a sketch requirement too:

I have to say, I struggled with peach as a single colour!  Every piece of 'peach' I pulled from my stash looked too orange, or too pink, or too cream...  This is what I came up with:

Materials

DCWV Fairytale Floral patterned paper
Rosie's Studio Stillwater die cut shapes
Kaisercraft Wood Flourish - Bird Twig wood veneer
Kaisercolour White acrylic paint
Bazzill Basics White Dot acetate
Unbranded buttercup paper flowers

Did you know?
The classic Peach Melba dessert was created for Australian opera singer Dame Nellie Melba. I found a great online article HERE.
