Paint Party Friday: Week 3, Year 5 Check-In

Welcome to Week 3 of Year 5 of Paint Party Friday!

 

This week the random number generator chose #81 - Catharine. For an Illustration Friday challenge theme "Ruckus", Catharine stretched and came up with this wonderful painting of contrasting patterns and awesome horses. Can't you just see them moving all around and hear them neighing in your mind?

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...

Paint Party Friday: Week 52, Year 4 Check-In

Welcome to Paint Party Friday!

It's Week 52, which can only mean one thing...

Next week, PPF turns 4!!!

To celebrate turning 4, and to start off year 5, EVA & Kristin will be hosting a Birthday/Anniversary/Blogoversary party next Friday, March 13th and you're invited!  

Every week we see your amazing paintings, now we want to see you!  We thought it would be fun to have a (completely optional) theme, so we hope you'll play along and create a self-portrait to bring to the party.

We will be finishing up the celebration with a giveaway, so don't miss it!
