Paint Party Friday - Week 21 - Index Card Paintings

This week I again went back to creating index cards for my ICAD (Index Card A Day) project and had a mini Paint Party (holiday Monday here) with my daughters Katie and Ruth joining in, and my friends Deborah and Scott as well! They came over to have a swim, saw the paints and started to play too!

Freeform Flowers

Flowering Branch

I still have red on my mind and paintbrush...

My pears are getting a little colour...

Imagining a sunset...

Imagining a moonrise...

Imagining the beach on the river...

If only my apple tree hadn't died...

July ICAD Collage

And from the other paint party players
By Ruth

By Katie

by Scott

and Deborah took her cards with her so I don't have them to show. 

A lovely, relaxing, unexpected Paint Party this week! Happy Paint Party Friday!

    Oooh your impromptu paint party sounds like fun... and poolside - even better!

    Loving all of the cards! Your collage is very, very cool... that acrobatic, cheerleading octopus still brings a big smile to my face :)

    Lovely cards! We had an apple tree next door that died. The inside was all hollow and someone had made a nest of foam and fabric inside. All the neighborhood animals came to investigate the fallen tree. I still miss it.

    I am sorry your tree died, too.

    How do you like painting the index cards (size wise) as opposed to larger pieces?

    Beautiful index cards again, Eva - I like to come here and look at them. I also love the little red cardinal and the octopus cheerleader in the two PPFs below. So lovely, and the octopus made me smile.
