Oh no...cannot believe how it turned out.......so far removed from the beautiful Goddess I had in mind...... Now this sort of Muse I can do without.............scary or what...........lol Thank goodness it was only painted in my Art Journal and not on canvas.............Textures were created with shredded bank notes (because art supplies cost me loads of money) and Flowersoft........why Flowersoft you ask, well its a private joke between me and me as this stuff really gets up my nose just like this painting............
Have just discovered a new blog hosted by Kristin, Summer of Colour (see my sidebar) which is all about colours and this week the colour is Blue.......all shades of Blue. I painted the background with acrylics and added a digi fairy. Am so pleased to take part in this blog as well.
Thank you again for all your terrific support and encouraging comments. Will be back to see all your wonderful creations. Have a great weekend and take care, Hugs Annette x

Love your clown's face, but the blue one is great! Valerie
Your muse is another side of yourself-one you hadn't met yet. She looks playful to me and like a fun type of gal! Have fun with the watercolors. You have a great start.

Love your Muse, unusual but very attractive in it's own right. Must be like you then eh?
Your painting is lovely of the two ladies, I think you are so creative and talented Annette - it's always lovely to come and see what you have been doing.
Have a great weekend.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
Interesting looking muse, such whimsical look. The watercolor work is wonderful. Love the whites ... Well Done!
oh I like so much your blue project for summer of color...I participate also but simply with paper for this moment...the interest I have for your background of water is real..I can feel the move of the ocean and that angel waiting in the calm...wouaw....I adore really...
Gorgeous projects here Annette,the clown is amazing,I love the third one.xxx
Loving all the blues. :) And your muse is funny. :) I bet you always have a great time with her. :)
love your blue piece...xxx
Wow - I've always been scared of clowns and your muse reminds me of the one in the Saw movies and the one in Stephen King's book It!!
I think your art homework turned out wonderfully - the beautiful blue and violets tones of the background seem perfectly in keeping with genteel ladies strolling in the summer!
The blue painting is brilliant - you've captured a wonderfully stormy sea with that little fairy precariously perched on the rocks -love it!
Paint Party Friday is never a disappoinment! Had to LOL about your bank note use on your top piece! The finished watercolors turned out wonderfully!
LOL! Congratulations on trying to envision your Muse - I think perhaps its playing with you! Fun.
I love the blue piece. Very cool and the beach walk is beautiful.
I love your Muse, fabulous painting and of course all the flower soft, the blue one is gorgeous, you did a great scene there.
well done you
Kevin xx

Fantastic paintings Annette, love the one with the two ladies. Yvonne xx
Netty your watercolours are just brilliant. Love your muse very sad looking though. You are really coming along in the old painting field ya pro x

You have a wonderful muse there. The work that results is just fantastic! :-)
I think your muse is related to my muse!
What fun!!!
I am also in summer of color and love your blues!!!
The Ladies on the beach is a delight!
stunning art netty.i love your blue painting with the fairy.your clown scares the life outta me but only cos i have a fear of masks ;D
xx coops xx
Beautiful blue piece.
Beautiful muse you have shared with us! I am so impressed with all aspects of your art and talent! Wow!
Honestly your muse is scary but the two women on the beach is beautiful as well as the faery blues blues blues. I love that - blue is my favorite color!!
Well, a muse that costs money and gets up your nose....hummm...LOL! I think your watercolor is lovely and I love the blue piece. I'm enjoying the Summer Of Color challenge and can't wait to see what you do for green. :) Nan
Interesting piece and totally different for you! Must have been the full moon? Happy PPF. :-)
how unusual, I hope you didn't shred real bank notes for the background
hugs for the weekend
beautiful work~~ your muse painting is great!
Hey Netty ;o) Happy PPF ;o) Wow, look at that muse! LOL ;o) She looks like a lot of fun ;o) I love the blue painting!! Have a great day!
Your muse is fun and humorous. Something that is great for artwork to have!
I love the two ladies by the water!
I love them all, your colours are really perfect and i am loving the texture too, big hugs love pops x
Oh wow Love the blue & fairy the clown is weird and scary I used to love clowns as a kid but as I get older hey get worse
Love Dawn xx
i love them all,, I'm usually frightened of clowns,, I painted a goddess so I guess great minds think alike,,HPPF!
I love them all too. The blue though really stands out for me. Love it. Happy PPF!
Wow Annette, these are stunning! Love the lady in blue and the clown has so much expression!
My favorite this week is your work in BLUE! WOW! HAPPY PPF!
Happy PPF!....wow, you sure are industrious with three projects for us today...all unique in their own way too. The last one looks like a blue dream come true!
They're beautiful, Annette! I especially love the Goddess!
What wonderful work! I was instantly attracted to the texture in your first piece - and to find they were bank notes! What a great mind you have ;) Thank you too for playing along with The Summer of Color and sharing with us this beautiful piece - I LOVE the hybrid idea - it gets me thinking . . . Kristin xo
Annette, I'm not sure what a muse should look like, But I believe you have painted someone else's muse. A clown just does not fit you, even though the painting itself is fascinating. I love the beautiful blue background and the finished watercolor of the two ladies. You are so talented.
Netty don't be so hard on yourself. One day someone told me to "Let the negative critics about oneself to others". Your art is your journey and when on a journey I think the trip is greater than the destination, that perfection is not human and that exploration and mistakes helps us to grow and learn! Thank you Netty to help me remind myself of all that good advice from other people.
Great work! Ladies my favorite, but do love the fairy and blues. Have a great day, Hugs, Kim
Very nice paintings, thanks for sharing.
I leave you my greetings and wish
Have a happy weekend.
a hug.
Crazy clown...I love it. Muse? Maybe, he is amusing!
Crazy clown indeed! Your ladies painting looks so soft and pretty and I adore your Blue painting!!! Happy PPF!
Hi Annette!!!! I love love love your latest pieces....wonderful work as always.....
Love the sweet beach scene! Lovely piece for Blue.
Your Muse looks a happy soul--she inspires you to create happy art, beautifully I might add.
Wow! such a great range of styles you have Netty! love all the different pieces. Now you have to tell me where you get the shredded bank notes? lol!
Your muse looks fun! I really like the composition of the ladies...the softness adds such femininity. Very lovely!
Fantastic work again Netty!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you're so talented:)
Have a great weekend.
Hugs, Heidi:)
Hi Annette, Great painting going on here totally love the blue painting it's so dreamy, hugs Gay xxx

Great texture in this sad muse. Beautiful watercolors, I love these colors.
Wow Annette your muse is something special. As for the other two pieces absolutely glorious, the one with the angel just reminds me of Lefkada the Island i went to last week the water is exactly the same colour !!
Have a great weekend.
Marie
Wow, Netty- I LOVE how varied all these pieces are. Your muse is so creative- yes, a little scary, but isn't it true that our muses can be scary at times?
And your watercolor homework turned out so beautiful and dreamy- I LOVE paintings like this- I want to be there on that beach in those colors!
I'm off to check Kristin's color challenge...
Happy PPF (a day late ;))
Stephanie

Hi Netty
I like your ladies walking along. Sadly I wasn't able to join in at Paint Party Friday this week, but I hope to for next week. Your choice of music is very good!!
I wanted 'In the Still of the Night', but the version I liked kept stopping.
Have fun!

Happy PPF 2U2! Thanks for stopping by my maiden voyage post! love the texture in your muse painting, but i will take a few steps away from her--lol! LOVE your painting with the ladies walking on the beach!! The one with the fairy is very soothing and hypnotic!
Wow! You have such distinct styles represented in one post. Very cool--Does this show you have an adventurous spirit? Your clown face is fierce and I really like how you've used several different materials creatively. Shredded bank notes? Brilliant. I love the background texture--what did you use?
Your watercolor is beautiful. :) Is it for a class?
Thank you for visiting my blog! See you next week. :)
Love your muse Annette! the ladies too! the fairy is my favorite! she's just amazing!! love how she's standing on the edge of the cliff.
Netty,

Wow Annette! I love your blue painting - and ALL of your other work too!
Wow, your muse is amazing!I love the textures! It's kinda fun that its so opposite from your other paintings. Reminds me of the Native concepts and stories of the contrary or cyote teachings!And your fairie is just gorgeous!!! Deb
I do love your paintings, Nettie. Love your Muse, and good to see the ladies on the beach completed and looking so beautiful.
Marilyn
Hi Netty! Sorry I'm so late with my comments. Just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE all of your pieces. Your Muse looks like someone I'd love to hang out with. :) Glad you are playing along with Summer of Color, too! That blue piece is awesome! And the watercolor turned out lovely! You really have quite a talent in that medium!
