Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

1/17/2013

It's almost Friday which means it is almost time to celebrate with my friends at Paint Party Friday.  When I was working, Friday meant it was time for the weekend which was always something to look forward to.  Now every day can be as special as the weekend used to be and that is something I don't take for granted.  Last week I painted a similar painting using acrylics.  I liked it but I wanted to see what I could do with pastels.  This painting definitely has a different look and a different feel to it.  I think for next week I will use my watercolor pencils and see what I can create.  Then I will post all three and compare the differences. 

Friday is also the day that I share some of the things that I am grateful for experiencing during the week.  This week has been rainy and dreary. The weather has been cold and damp but today the weatherman announced a chance of snow.  That is all that it takes where we live for everyone to get excited.  The stores are full of people making sure they have enough bread and milk.  The kids (and the teachers) are running to the windows and listening to the news to see if there will a snow day.  There is just a difference in the way people look and act.  Most of the time everyone is disappointed and it doesn't snow.  But when it does snow it is exciting.  So this week I am glad that there is even a chance of snow. It's been fun waiting and watching and hoping for that first snowflake.  Fingers crossed, nose glued to the window, I am sure it will be here soon!

I'd love to know what you are grateful for this week.

I love orange. I really believe it is the happiest color going. Plus, throw in that lovely blue and you really have a thing of beauty. Lovely pastel this week. Fingers crossed you get the snow you are hoping for. Happy PPF

It is so hot and dry here at the moment that I would love grey and dreary... we are crossing fingers and toes that the rains finally turn up and put out all the bush fires... I am grateful that I have a lovely pool to cool off in !!!

Love all this brightness, the perfect antidote to the gray of winter. Hope you get just enough snow to make things pretty!

the falling petals give your painting an air of both expectancy and fragility. Very evocative. Happy PPF!

Love the oranges. It's hard working with pastel, but what a great job. Hope the snow comes soon for you. Enjoy. Thx for sharing.

Ginny, reading this post had me smiling, it's exactly what's happening over here too! We had a sprinkling of snow yesterday and my oldest son didn't go to school, no buses, pandemonium on the roads...anyway there is a chance here too for the coming week of snow, the boys wait as I do for these white flakes to fall and no school. Snow is just magical, hope it snows for you too! Your painting is full of hope, beautiful!

How different this is from your acrylic version! I almost felt that I'd just opened a box and was looking in at a surprise. Those pretty fallen petals....are they the anticipated snowflakes in disguise?
Charming!

I love to experiment like that with the different mediums on the same type painting. I can't wait to see all 3. Blessings, Janet PPF
