Palette & Paint Thursday!

Whew, I can't believe I've been away from my blog
for almost two weeks!
I think I'm in withdrawal....I took pictures for today's post on
Tuesday thinking I'd be ahead of the game for once for Palette and Paint Thursday,

but today, when I went to upload them; guess what?  they were missing!  

But I thought, no problem, I'll get use my file recovery program and get them back!
Well, my recovery program is apparently no longer free,
and me being the cheapster that I am, I decided to fudge it a bit.  

Since I still have the "color tester" from when I was painting in my background 

and I let the palette I used the other day dry so I can re-use it...

I took new snaps to share and so, here we go!

This is the tester/palette combo that I used to create the background.  

I did have snaps of just the background, but alas, those are gone too...

The project I'm working on this week is my pages for my Inspiration Avenue friend Kim's book.  We just started a round robin...and I loved the idea of her cover- she did a play on the words "Round Robin" and the way we all inspire one another- this group is a collection of past and present IA members- and I think it will be such a wonderful commemoration for me of the time I was part of that team!

 

Anyway, I took inspiration from her theme and  this is what I have so far:

 The palette is of the colors I used for the background.  I added the woman holding the bird yesterday 

and though I could have taken pictures of that palette, I didn't because 

I knew I already had pictures from Tuesday....which of course, I didn't!  Ah well, hindsight!

I cut the middle page down so you could see parts of the composition at all times no matter what page you were on of my spread.....this page will have a bird flying off into the horizon and a letter to Kim explaining my thoughts and inspirations behind these paintings.....

So, go visit the gallery of my fellow P&P-ers at Tracey Potter's Blog , BE INSPIRED and I'll see ya'll tomorrow at Paint Party Friday!
