Paint Party Friday: Week 52, Year 3 Check-In

Welcome to the last week of Year 3 at Paint Party Friday! How fast the weeks (and years...) fly by! Next week is our big birthday/anniversary/blogoversary party - if you'd like to paint something "party" related, please join in with the theme, and if you want to show anything else you are painting - that, as always, is great too!
 
This week, the random.org number generator chose #86, Carol Samsel. Carol showed us many of her faces she was creating for 29 Faces in February (drop by and check them all out!) including this lovely lady who she mentions is part of a larger painting... Looking forward to seeing the rest of it, Carol!

Welcome to Week 51 of Year 3 at Paint Party Friday!  In two weeks, Paint Party Friday turns 3 (and we enter year 4)!!!  Please feel free to paint with a party theme in mind for our birthday (or is it anniversary? or blogoversary?...)

This week the random.org number generator chose #72 - Sharon at Moxie Rabbit Hop Blues.  Sharon is thoroughly enjoying her "Studying With The Masters" e-course, and it shows... Last week she shared her wonderful interpretation of a Matisse classic.

Paint Party Friday: Week 50, Year 3 Check-In

Welcome to Week 50, Year 3 of Paint Party Friday! Wow -  Week 50... that means Year 4 is quickly approaching... We are pondering what to do for PPF's Birthday Party. Do you have any suggestions you'd like to share with us?

This week the random.org number generator chose #25 - Annette G. One of our long time partyers, Netty has been creating faces for 29 Faces in February and to create this colorful and lovely face, she used spray paint/inks. What a fascinating effect!
