Another Paint Party Friday going on with Eva and Kristin!
This week I worked a bit more on the 5 x 5 canvas landscape, which is part of my Autumn on the Mountain series.
I added a bit of color, and have some more toning to play with before adding the threads and other doo-dads I've planned. Also, being thrifty, I used some of the leftover paint on this torn paper background. It also has a few stamped images added.
It has since been cut up into postcards... more on that next week. :)
Check out what others are doing for their Paint Party Friday here.
And a great group of artists are also sharing at Artists in Blogland.

I never think to do things like use the leftovers to make other things... I need to get in and do it... your looks so great and will make perfect postcards... thanks for the inspiration... happy ppf xx
Oooh, this piece is coming out wonderfully! Wish I could see it in person. Are you using modeling paste? Love the blue background too. Happy PPF Helen. xo
Your painting is coming along nicely. Had fun today.
I really like your painting Helen. I love learning new things. I try always to be open to push my own envelope. It always surprises me. Great job!
Very nice Autumn on the Mountain piece! I really like its radial-like composition and all that luscious texture!

your landscape is fabulous - I love the texture you've added to make it so 3 dimensional and the colours and 'v' shape of the sky and mountains really draws the eye!
Loving your beautiful WIP, such fab colourings. Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, Annette x

Beautiful painting and colors and I love your art papers - I bet that will turn into something fabulous as well, xo
Wow, your thriftiness really led to a beautiful background.
The new landscape is really coming along nicely. The fall foliage is gorgeous against the bright blue.
You think like I do. I am always throwing in torn pieces etc... into my backgrounds. Lovely job and I love your first piece...all that texture~
Oh I love them both!! The colours and textures in both are fabulous.
love,love, love them!!

what gloriously textured background - I also at times do that with leftover paints on random paper/canvases! What can come out is very fun
I´m a "till the last drop" painter too. :)Very interesting textures on the canvas. Love the layers of the stamped one.
your landscape is really coming along nicely! It's so satisfying being able to use leftover paint and not waste isnt' it?
Thrifty is the way to go! Great use of space, color, and texture!
You know how much I enjoy your art. Always so creative. I am with you on any left over paint. I hate to waste it.

You are quite the crafy gal! Very nice job. Love your Autumn landscape. :)
It is looking beautiful so far!
I do that too - paint my extra paint onto pages. Very pretty!
Love the colors in your 5x5 and the leftover is excellent. Blessings, Janet PPF
Lovely work in progress, already looks quite beautiful.
I usually throw left overs out but maybe I should reconsider before I do. Thanks for sharing.
Like the texture!
