I’m missing Silly Saturdays.

Those days of coming up with silly, fun art creations for no other reason than just because. For…. the sheer pleasure,  the  process of creating provides!

Of course, its done in a version of cobalt teal!

 

 

Bright, Fun, Playful Art

Yes, they fell by the wayside with the 31 days of July watercolor marathon and the Kalbarri adventures, and a few other ‘projects.’

You, have been pretty quiet about the Silly Saturdays. So, I’d concluded they’d served their purpose and it was time to let them …go.

But… that ‘silliness’  plays a vital role in sparking the ember and fanning the flames of  creativity.

 

I think,  “Silly Saturday”  might make a return now and again!

The watercolor cool and calm collage, still, an ongoing WIP… but was quite fun to play with editing sections. Using filters and double exposures.

 

 

Bright Colors

Deep pine green, indigo, lavenders and blushing rose layers created a bright colorful and very playful art image for me.

So, today is a ‘throwback to silly art.’

And, lets hope for more Silly Saturdays…. whenever I can!

 

 

This final image was done with Jill in mind.  I’d told her I’d play around with trying out some self portraits some time ago. I hadn’t forgotten!

I’ve overlaid the portrait on top of my cadmium red abstract. Adjusted the tones and cropped a bit of the sides, for another Bright and Fun art creation!

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

      7. nah…..YES! lol I was planning on painting in the little town of Downieville but arrived at 8 am which was too early for the sun to light up my subject, their nostalgic buildings. A local guy told me that it wouldn’t be until 9 am! what? so I figured that I would go paint the river, I guess I’ll go back and paint the town red but at 9. hehe

      11. yes, “neighborly into your business” but yes, laidback. I was in their little country store and someone decided to change it around and now it looks like any store in the US, kind of like a stop, grab and go. David and I were discussing how we hate their store changing on us. Darn…..why does everything think that they must be modern? lol I guess I am a pioneer at heart.

  15. Playful and fun that is exactly how our Saturdays should be and you got it right! I love playing too with art, new things, layering, new ideas just getting out of the box and let it go not worry about the outcome. It is a healthy therapy to use, at least for myself. Love it, love it!
