Hi there! It's time for a new More Than Words Challenge! This month's challenge is all about:

Word: Escape

Creative Challenge: The Mood Photo

Here are some close ups of my painting:

Painting is my creative escape! The rainbow of colors in the photo inspired me to give Gary Jenkins Rainbow Roses video tutorial a try. This is an 11" x 14" gessoed art board painted with oil.

I'm joining along with Paint Party Friday:

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit the More Than Words Challenge blog to see what the entire design team has created and for complete details on how to join along in the fun!
