create sunshine 26

Hi! I'm so excited because I registered for an oil painting e-course presented by one of my favorite talented artists whom artwork I admire ~ Dreama Tolle Perry
Although there was not any painting demonstration happening, class began this past Saturday and for our first assignment, we were to paint something while incorporating words. In all honesty, I'm not a big fan of writing in a journal but I do love art journaling and stamping so I incorporated both in my painting :) I put together this vase and flower arrangement for my own personal inspiration in my studio consisting of both real an silk flowers:
Here's my interpretation:
I painted this page using various strokes and techniques that I learned from both Nancy Medina and Krista Eaton ~ two of my favorite artists:



I'm hoping to learn how to paint vibrant, colorful, abstract, impressionistic paintings which to me is like creating sunshine in my art studio :)

I'm entering this painting in the following challenges:

For color inspiration, the colourQ colour challenge:
