This painting is not in the new series but it helped to inspire the others.

New painting series

 

I have been inspired to work on a new series of paintings. 

They are slightly crazy but make me feel happy when I look at them.

It has been five months

Fidget sleeves

 

I decided to respond to a request for volunteers to knit fidget sleeves for Alzheimer patients who live in our local Care facility. Fortunately we received a bag of sample knitting pieces at the Thrift store and I was able to join pieces together to form colorful sleeves that stretch from wrist to crook of the arm. Buttons, beads and other donated embellishments were stitched on for the patients to "fidget with".

In total I managed to create 17 sleeves while watching boring TV shows!

It was fun and, hopefully, will bring comfort to restless hands.

Treasures

 More treasures shining in the trees on my morning walk.

These discoveries brighten my day!

A "POUR" painting

 

On Sunday I helped my sister with a "POUR" painting.

This is the end result after many pourings, tippings and blowings with a straw and a hairdryer.

She used a combination of acrylic paints, Elmer's glue, water and WD40

to get a variety of textures and reactions.
