While Macaulay went to her Bible Study I kept Baby Marc and just when I put him down for a nap I dashed for my paints! I had drawn this out the night before as we were watching TV and knew that when I got the chance I would paint it. So I knew that I had about an hour and a help give or take an hour!---so I painted this yellow pot of Hydrandeas. It looked rather hokey at first but after grunging it up a bit with some script stamps and background stamps---and some swipes of Distress Inks I called it finished. Whew...he was still asleep! Tomorrow I have a some doodle flowers that I worked on also while I was there but I could doodle easier without getting out everything. More tomorrow.

Thus is gorgeous! Yes those finishing touchws really bring the piece together and give it texture and depth... i wanna get some distress inks now!
Thats what you have to do when there's a baby around,Run for the paints when you get a chance! This is beautiful Martha. I just painted some flowers in a vase too. Mine is not as beautiful as yours. I love these colors.
beautiful, beautiful colors and painting, Martha
Martha, another amazing picture. You are right the addition of the stamps really makes the painting pop.
I love this picture of course hydrandeas are one of my favorite flowers and you did a great job. Can't imagine you did this in a hour...you're right the stamping adds so much.....
Love this Martha! I used to paint so many florals and I love the idea of stamping over like you did! What a cool way to incorporate mixed media with it!
BEAUTIFUL!
Gorgeous, Martha!! I love little Marc :)
Lovely piece!!! Beautiful colours and texture! Did you paint this on canvas or some kind of paper? I know what it's like to try and get something done while the kids are occupied that's how I work all the time, right now I have about 3 different projects all drawn out sitting there waiting for me to paint them! I can't wait and hopefully today is the day! :0)
Love the hydrangeas!
Ir's lovely and you painted it in an hour! It would take me a week.... I'm slow.
This looks great. Your added script and other stuff turned it into a very nice piece.
In true Martha form...it's lovely!
