Artist Renee Mak

Here's a tiny peek at what  I'm currently working on! I've continued to add layers of bright colors to my flowers  painting  I started last week! One of my favorite things in a mixed media painting  is adding interest thru stamps and stencils.   Here the tiny  thin lines are from  a cardboard box and the white dots are from a clothing stencil! The free hand doodles are great fun too! I also started three small mixed media florals... Even though my tools are simple, the  paintings will be bright and cheery... just like Spring after a long winter! Tomorrow is my first day in the  studio this week and I'm just itching to paint!  If you're in the area, stop by for a quick hello!  I'll also be getting the Boutique ready for  our next big event on April 22nd... which you can read about here !   Have a fabulously creative day and be happy! xoxo

Happy Paint Party Friday and Sneak Peek Friday !  These are two fabulous art blog hops I play along with... follow the links and check out what other fabulous artists have been up to! Spring is in the air... so I've been painting up a storm with bright, fresh spring colors! Some of my favorite mark making  elements are stamping, stenciling and  faux writing... and this piece has them all. I'm still using the hand cut flower stamp I created this past January while taking Traci Bautista 's free online workshop... which you can read about here . This piece will be used in other projects such as collaged art, cards, jewelry and pillows... just off the top of my head! I really love working on sheets of canvas... it's so freeing! And now my head is just swirling with all the creative options for this design!  Happy painting and  have a great weekend!!! xoxo
