Paint Party Friday: Week 26 Check In


Welcome to Week 26 of Paint Party Friday! The half-year mark - how the heck did that happen already? We are delighted to have so many regular paint players and new participants every week. The talent in this group leaves us in awe. It sounded like a busy long weekend for most of you - seeing friends, soaking up the last of summer, refocusing with the kids back in school - and a little bit of painting!

And here in the Northeast (EVA is in Ottawa and Kristin in Buffalo) there are already signs of leaves changing colour and falling. Which makes us wonder about your plans and goals for Autumn?


Please make sure to use your post URL address versus your blog address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Week 1 and Week 2 check-ins.


Have a fun time at Paint Party Friday!

  3. Actually it's Spring time for us 'down south', but I am heading to the US in a couple of weeks so I'll get to enjoy some Fall as well. :)

  5. Well, not that you'd notice much difference (summer rain/autumn rain!!) it's definitely colder here and the nights are drawing in - making me excited for Christmas already!

  6. Love the leaves - I have been painting leaves and pondering about autumn, too! The first leaves are changing colour here, and it is really chilly. Valerie

  12. It's been raining here for days after a drought period. So when it rains it pours and when it's dry it's dry. Fall is in the air though.

  14. Love the Fall colors. We are having a straggling summer, no leaves turning yet. I'm picturing a gecko riding on one when they do though!Happy PPF!

  15. Starting to feel like Autumn here in Ohio, and just beginning to look like it. Woke up to a misty morning here... Can't wait to see what everyone's created this week!

  16. My plan for Fall is to enjoy every cool minute of it! Happy PPF!

  17. In Texas where I live it is hard to notice fall arriving. We are still in the heat and drought conditions in my South Texas area but this week temps dropped to a high of 90's and lows in 70's but I heard the sound of autumn arriving. Wind rustling drying leaves on the trees. And I smell the scent of mornings emitted from the cooler nights. Love you at Paint Party Friday! Thanks!

  20. It's still pretty warm here in the desert foot hills though it is cooler than a couple of weeks ago and we're lucky to have had a bit of rain. Mostly I just plan to paint as much as I can and try to get things organized around here!

  21. It's a little darker in the morning and still pretty hot over here. I'm definitely looking forward to the coming weeks for cool off. Enjoy the weekend everyone and on Sunday let's say our prayers for everyone in remembrance. Take care and e well. Loving PPF and thanks Eva and kristin.

  22. A few colours I see from my window but essentially been too busy to enjoy the outdoors with the exception of doing regular garden work which becomes quite pleasurable in face of our routine summer renos we've been preoccupied with indoors. Love the party and missed it, thanks girls. Will be visiting everyone this weekend (Friday night and on) in between work...have a lovely fall weekend...enjoy!

  23. I can "smell" fall in the air in northern CA. The colors and light is different. I always enjoy the changes in the seasons! My favorite things are the colors of the trees. Orange,red,yellow and they glow!!! Even the sky is a brighter blue!

  24. The nights are getting cooler, and very soon I will have to shut my studio window (which bums me out,but at least will mean fewer tiny bugs being blown by the fan into my wet paint).

  26. I'm hoping to do much more painting and to work in my art journal(s) more. How wonderful to think of Spring just starting, for those of you in the southern hemisphere.

  28. The leaves are beautiful. Fall is my favorite season, and I hope for a lot of inspiration. Usually it is a very creative time for me.

  34. Spring has sprung here and I'm looking forward to getting outside and splashing some paint around, not to mention joining in some more Paint Party Fridays. I've missed all this as life has dragged me away kicking and screaming. I have something to offer this week, though, so I'm really happy.
