1242. Birthday Confetti

 My birthday was a few days ago, and in between calls from family and friends, I was able to do two favorite activities on my birthday--paint and read.  The splash of white paint or "confetti" was an afterthought to bring good luck in the coming year.

1128 Freshly Squeezed

 The little lemon juicer was a gift from friends many years ago who visited Italy.  Having visited Italy and Sicily since then, I discovered that lemons are a very big deal there, and the lemon motif is everywhere.  I saw the same little bird on many different ceramics.  I think it looks cute with the flower arrangement.  The painting was started during the summer, and the flowers were from my rooftop garden.

1088 Oh Happy Day

 It's a beautiful, happy day.  Nothing says "happy" like polka dots.  I love them.  In fact, later today we are attending a wedding and guess what I am wearing. A black and white polka dot dress! 

I was curious to know more about polka dots.  This is part of what I learned, compliments of Wikipedia.

"Polka-dots: If you can't let go of polka-dots dress or shirt, your personality is probably just as lively and energetic as the playful print. Those who prefer polka dots have also been identified as hardworking and multi-taskers. ... You can use polka dots even in neutral colors, like black, white, and grey."

Day 25 of #stradaeasel challenge

959 Black Tie Affair

I thought I'd try something a little different this time and left the background white.  I think you can see where the paint spills originated.  Please let me reiterate that there is no planning or forethought in the spills.  I'm not sure I like the white background but I guess it can be colored in if I decide otherwise.
