"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things." (H.W.Beecher)
Purple and lime green are the colors for the third week SOC challenge. I did a background using two shades of purple acrylics. I then did a collage over the background. Love this tiny stone house. Wish I'd one like this where I could sit and do art, listen to music and just relax:)
I glued the house and the wild roses on the left and some irises on the other side. With lime green I stenciled all over the top part . Finally I outlined them and the flowers with white and added a felt butterfly to the page.
The quote done on masking tape is by H.W.Beecher.
Taking a short holiday with family as my son started his vacation on Wednesday. Wish you all a wonderful summer.
