Inspire Me Thursday - 'petals'

What a fun, carefree prompt this was. I love drawing & painting flowers and can't get enough of the color yellow lately (not sure why, it has never been a fave of mine) but it's definitely good to paint outside your 'comfort' color zone now and than :>

This was done in my handmade paperbag journal which I'm sad to say is almost full! I need to scout out some of those large, thick paper grocery bags next time I head out of town as no one here carries them, at least from what I've seen.

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope your weekend is a good one!

    Painting on brown paper bags is one of my favorite mediums. This is very nice...I love the softness and vibrancy at the same time.

    Brown paper bags.....what a fantastic idea! And I know exactly the type of bags you're talking about and have a local grocer who I think carries the kind you're talking about. I will have to give it a try.

    your close-up of the daisy...I think I can reach through my computer and feel it!
