A September Surprise

Posted on September 13, 2019 | 23 Comments

I wanted to show you my September square-a-day project for the first 12 days of this month.

I am limiting my art medium to watercolor or markers and a little collage.

Like finding the toy in a box of Crack Jacks, each square holds a collage surprise, can you find it?

Happy Friday!

Cheers! 🙂

  Thanks Jenna! A funny story to that square… I was at the lake and a mouse came into our trailer and then ran back out! Eek! 😮 So we put some cheese in a trap and the mouse took the cheese without snapping the trap! 🧀🐭 Smart mouse? 😊

I love the ants. And the leaf! and the way they all work together. (K)

  Thank you Kerfe, the ants symbolized a potluck at the lake! 🐜🥪🐜 Always such good food at potlucks! 😃 And the leaf was inspired by the lake too… I hadn’t thought about how they work together, thank you for mentioning that! 🎨👍

  YAY!! I’m so glad! 🎨👍 It was fun to add a tiny bit of collage to some of my squares so it was hard to notice. 😊

The birdie is my favorite. How do you decide what to paint?

  Thanks Evelyn! 😊 I try to paint something that relates to my day or something I did. The little blue bird was on a wall calendar for September. Not the same color but a similar shape. The first square was a potluck at the lake. It challenges me to try to create something that tells a story. 🎨💕
