Crazy Amigo Challenge - Paint

I used to be intimidated by paint. I thought that it was only used by those who could create portraits or landscapes. Then I took two online classes....one with The Altered Diva and the other with Paulette Insall and my thinking changed. I could use paint just to play and play I did. It has become one of those mediums that I reach for when I'm stuck creatively. I dig out my stencils, my sequin waste and choose a few colours that I think go together nicely and off I go. This circular round robin page is my entry for the Crazy Amigo challenge this week.

Hey! This so cute! I had to look at it twice to figure out the numbers..lol A clock face? Or I've maybe still not had enough coffee. You always have the most precious children in your work.

Oh, so beautiful, Heather! I just love your work! I need to learn how to use paint like this--I'm very intimidated, too! There's no one around here to teaches anything like this, so I better look online, too! Would so love to learn! Fabulous creation! Hope you're having a wonderful day!

I always enjoy your colors because they never look as though they've come straight out of 'the tube.'
Great composition - especially the bird coming in from the right.
