The art of being happy...

"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.

    This is like a fairy tale and I want a stone house to play in too. WOW, this is just gorgeous and yummy texture. I can just imagine little fairies in there playing and skipping along the flowers too.
