I usually paint in watercolor, but our painting group was using acrylics last night. Here's what I did. It was fun!
Our instructor primed the tops of cigar boxes with gesso and we played with acrylics. I thought it was a clever idea - I never painted on a cigar box before!

I love this elegance in simplicity, beautiful Candy and what a cool idea!
Thank you, Padmaja! It really was a lot of fun. One guy in the class was going to line his cigar box with velvet when he went home. I thought that was cool, too!
How gorgeous! I love it! :)
Thank you, Linda!
What a great idea! Wonderful job! Acrylics are tough ... the whole drying thing I have a hard time with. I am a blender!
Thanks, Lucinda! I usually use watercolors, so this was different for me. It was weird to use white paint instead of using the white of the paper, but it was cool to proceed with the knowledge that I could just paint over something if I didn't like it:)
Hi Candy. What a great idea and your painting is beautiful. I can smell the salt air and now need a trip to the beach.
Thanks, Carol! Yeah, I haven't been to the beach in ages. I'd love to be in San Diego staying at Hotel del Coronado right now!
Bonjour chère amie,
Si le thème n'est pas imposé, je vous soupçonne d'avoir envie de profiter de la plage, de la mer... J'aime beaucoup l'atmosphère de votre dernière peinture. Une grande sérénité s'en dégage.
Gros bisous 🌺
Bonjour, Martine! Yes, I would love to go to a quiet beach right now! I do so enjoy traveling with you through your lovely photos!
Hugs & Kisses!
You've done a lovely job with the cigar box Candy!
Thanks for visiting my blog!
I loved reading about how you feed hummingbirds. I had so hoped to see some on my recent visit to the U.S. but alas I wasn't in luck (I did see some fireflies though which was a thrill!). I will have to get back again someday - I miss it already!
Thanks, Wendy! I agree that fireflies are cool. I used to see them when I was a little girl in Wisconsin. I'm glad you had a good time in the U.S.!
Your colors are so relaxing and joyful.
Thank you Candy, you are always so attentive and supporting.
Thank you, Irina. I love your artwork!
Nice art. The tulips are my favourites.
Thank you, Gunn! I just checked out your blog. Super photographs!
