Pink things ~ Happy PPF ~

Hello!

It seems that the colour pink has taken hold of my painting thoughts and so I succumbed!
Here are a couple which are my entries in this week's Paint Party Friday:
"Survivors"
acrylic on board

"Take Heart"
acrylic on board

Beautiful art abounds over at:

Thanks for your visit,
Cheers, Sue xx

    Pink is a calming, relaxing color and it has many tints and shades.
    The above pictures display beauty and originality.

      Thanks Leanna, I do them on the reverse side of masonite board (which is perhaps known in other countries as hardboard or fibreboard)... for that very reason, the texture. It takes a couple of coats of gesso first but then accepts acrylic quite happily. Cheers ~🌺💗🌸~

    I love your two paintings. They move me because of the titles, colours, the textures, the background patterns and then the overlay of delicate flowers, stems and leaves - so uplifting. Wishing you well dear Sue.

    Oi Sue, como vão as coisas do lado de cá?
    Ultimamente ando me rendendo para o rosa;
    Ficou lindo;
    Tenho vontade de voltar a pintar com aquarela;
    ainda tenho muitas tintas e pincéis guardados.

    Bom finalzinho de mês;
    E obrigada pela visita lá na casa.

    Hi Sue, how are things going this way?
    Lately I've been surrendering to pink;
    It was beautiful;
    I want to go back to painting with watercolors;
    I still have a lot of paints and brushes in store.

    Good end of the month;
    And thanks for visiting at the house.

    Ah the wonders of Pink. Did we used to like pink so much? - I can't remember it being a big thing.
    I would have thought it would have been very difficult to paint with just the colour pink, but you seem to have managed brilliantly.

      I can remember a pink and white (horizontally) striped full skirt I used to have... the kind we wore those voluminous net petticoats to make them stand out (am talking in the early 1960s!)... I loved it and kind of kept that love for pink since.
      Thanks Sheila, it wasn't difficult, just kept mixing and, again, having fun ~🌺💗🌸~

      Oh that's right, I had forgotten that. I had the same kind of skirt but it was pink flowers. You would have thought the net underskirts would have been scratchy but I don't remember that. Everyone had small waists then too. Thanks for the memory, Sue.
