10 of 10 : The art for Shay

Aaah... the challenges in life, such as what to create for a woman that is creative herself. And not only that ... shows in her blogs the many facets of her existence. 


Well here it is... and yes, as usual I leave the good stuff out, so the owner of the book will not see the whole picture. But I will reveal that I made it in acrylics and ink on paper... One could take pleasure in mysteries...

And that will be all..... for now...

This 10 by 10 Project is really wonderful!
I look forward to seeing this when we can see it all---after she see's it of course...! What a fun Challange!

Ily is right, I love it!!!!! It's wonderful, and you can't fool me, that's a Shay/Joan hangin'around the cosmos if I ever saw one! I can't wait to see it, and it might just end up on my wall. Thank you, Monique! You so rock!

PS--I laughed at your comment on my post for the moms. :-)

Naomi: oh yes it is, and I promise you that once I have my book back I will publish all the contributions in my nook on my blog

Shay: Don't you get all excited about the stars... those I cut out from this picture to keep you curious... and that you are...lol

I bet it looks great without them too!

Holland said...

LLCJ: Yes, it does.... I swear... next time I will just paint a bunch of stars...LOL

Lynn said...

That is so great!

A nice painting of a talanted girl, by a talanted girl.

This is my lucky day :-)

Holland said...

Lynn: I hope you talk about the art here...lol

Mac: Thank you so much... but you understand the challenge here.

Mama Z: Thanks! (I presume you mean it in a good way and not like "Wow, how thick can you get to put this on your blog"..lol)

Peeking behind the stars, I see a beautiful portrait of an amazing woman. Beautifully done, Holland. And I'm glad Shay can't see the whole picture until she sees it firsthand - lucky lady!

Holland said...

Talon: There are only a couple more people in front of her, adding their work to it as well, before she gets her book back. I think she will be pleased with all inside.

Wonderful stuff as always. You are very creative and an amazing artist.

Holland said...

Wow!! That's really gorgeous! I can't wait to see this one in person. You are so super talented. I hope you like what I did in your book (it's going out to Carmen tomorrow). I remembered you saying you prefer my black and white work! I've posted a picture of it on my blog but, as always, I put the entire thing on view.
