really it was just a few weeks ago. Above is the other canvas piece
that I did in Alisa Burke's class. This was the one that was more
finished but I really wasn't sure about. I have now had it sitting on
a table in my house staring at me for the last few weeks. I still am
not sure about it but my good friend Lisa thought it was so nice
that she wanted to buy it from me!
I know there is that saying about being our own worst critic so for
the moment this piece is being left as is.
I enjoyed the process so much with the canvas that I decided to
start a new one this weekend. You can see it above, this is the
stage I got it to and am now wondering how to finish this one off.

You may notice I went for completely different colours than
usual. I am a green/blue/purple person when it comes to making art.
These are my go to colours that I love to use. In fact I took a
class last fall where one of the exercises was to make a sample
chart of all the paints we had so we would not get duplicates and
could see where we were lacking. I had no orange paint,1 yellow
paint and 2 reds. I had 2 sheets full of blue paint and almost
the same of green. I found this to be a very interesting exercise,
I now own 1 tube of orange paint:)

Finally I want to share my first page in the 3 Hearts workshop I am
taking with the very talented Christy Tomlinson. So sad that this is
the last week of class, although we will have a couple of months to
view the videos there will be no more new content added. I have
had a lot of fun watching all of the technique videos, there were
53 of them!!!

Anyway this is my first finished art journal page but I have
a few in progress. I have seen so many new techniques with this
class it is hard to choose which one to try next.

Your canvases look great Marlene. I took some online classes with Alisa and loved them. Your heart page looks great too.
Wow, I really love these! I need to take one of her classes, I'm thinkin'. lol. Really fantastic work on your "started" second piece, and the heart page is terrific!
All terrific pieces Marlene. Can't choose a favourite as love them all.
And I STILL want to buy it! :)
Good job on the pink canvas---that really IS out of your comfort zone. I'm proud of you.
