Squareathon Part 3

Howdy!
Well, I am finally getting around to posting about my last few #squareathon prompts.  The last few weeks have been kind of a whirlwind.  I am spending a lot of time at work due to a program conversion and the weekends have been all about birthdays and funerals...
Anyway, I digress.  Here are the prompts- I will warn you, I sorta lost steam at the end.  I did them even quicker than normal and I am not really happy with them.  But I suppose any creative time is better than none!  Besides, the whole point of this is to get you thinking creatively 
about the prompts.

Prompt 13- Once Upon a Memory
I took a photo in my Grandma's garden after she passed the spring before her house was sold.
I always remember these grape  hyacinth flowers popping out first and always wanting to pop the little purple bubbles.  I was so enamored by the deep hue of purple-y blue. 

Grape Hyacinth, Watercolor


Prompt 14- Walking on the Moon
Of course, my brain immediately goes to ole MJ.
 MJ Moonwalking, Ink

Prompt 15- Over the Horizon
I wanted to do an Arizona sunset type painting with cactus silhouettes, but this is what happened.  What happened?

Horizon, Watercolor

Prompt 16- Through the Magic Door
I recently watched Christopher Robin and this prompt made me think of that.  I wanted to collage in a red balloon, some leaves and grass, but in the end my tiredness won over.
Magic Door, Marker & Watercolor


A whole shot of the completed page with all the prompts.
Thank you @melissadoty.art and @experiencetruecolors for making me think a little harder on my images and subject matter.  It actually is quite a challenge for me.

Squareathon Part 2


Hello, Hello, Hello!
Here is my part two of the @melissadoty.art #squareathon

I can tell you these few squares are not my favorite~ I have some
I like better than others.

Ready.........Set........Show you the stuff I think resembles doggie doo. 
(one thing about me- I am my own WORST critic.  Like most artists.  So I am completely unauthentic there.)
Most are watercolor and/or acrylic.  Obvs. the Castle is just ink.
Anyway, visit me on Instagram to see a lot more of my work and/or the deets behind some of these ideas.
I am @ambermalarsiemoritz


Day 12- Into the Mystic
I like her second best of the group
Day 11- Castle in the Clouds
I like this one best... fun and perspective is a damn P.I.A.

Day 10- Catching Fire
Started out as one thing, ended up as another. Like burning wood, now that I think about it.

Day 9- An Epic Adventure
Playing with pattern and color

Day 8- Flowers in Your Hair
:-/  Not my fave.

Day 7- Made of Stars
cool idea, just happened out of some watercolor blooms that came out in the black corner.

Squareathon

#squareathon

What's a squarathon?  Glad you asked.  So, I follow this artist on the gram- her name is Mel Doty.  you can follow her @melissadoty.art  She does a challenge every so often to prompt you to create.  The rules are that you keep your composition in a square and interperet her prompts however you want.  Other than that, you do what you want in whatever medium.  I joined this one since it was only 15 days and she partnered up with @experiencetruecolors to make the prompts.  Mostly I worked in Crayola marker, watercolor and ink for these 6.  Does anyone else sign up for challenges and start off strong only to peter out after day 5 or so?!?! That about sums up my diet history too :-/
The Prompts
Here are my first 6 days worth of mini square art prompts:

Prompt 1- City of Gold
Prompt 2- Mountain Melodies
Prompt 3- End of the Rainbow
Prompt 4- Secret Sunsets
Prompt 5- Strawberry Fields Forever

Prompt 6- Treasures of the Tides

Stay tuned for the 2nd part of this challenge..........



Peace, Love and Paintbrushes~
