A Rollicking Good Time!

 When asked how I would describe the art I make in one word, I had to invent a new word:  "JOYLEIRDFUL!"
​
 JOY + COLOR + WEIRD = JOYLEIRDFUL 

​
That what I am calling this painting.  It holds the energy and intention of a rollicking good time!  

Here are the steps I used to make this painting:
1.  I wrote on the blank board -"Let's make something awesome - a rollicking good time!" 
2. Brushed on under-layers of yellow, red and blue, drew some lines, and added more layers until I saw her left hand appear and then the heart.  At that point I had to look for an arm and body to go with the hand.
3.  Once I found the body, I saw the cake, which then needed a table.  Once I knew it was my birthday party, all I needed to do with find the hot dogs, and there they were, looking like sideways lavender wands.  
4.  I slapped a little brown over them and added the buns.  Quick - cover the background with different colors!  Voila!  A hot dog party! 

She's me, excited for summer and hot dogs and cake.  She is also full of enthusiasm for the next batch of paintings that I will be working on that can now be described in one word. It doesn't roll off the tongue really easily, but I love it!
