This is so good! I love everything about this and what a fabulously painted beatnik.
Oh wow Mandy its totally fab, so loving your painting and the clever use of the extra colour.........ooh yes I love that lightbulb as well. All so cool, Annette x
Oh she is fab, Mandy!! What a cool piece for brown. Isn't it just sweet what we come up with and how a color can be sooo inspiring!!
I am a bit behind...I don't even have my yellow finished. So I better get on it this week.
Thanks for the inspiration and all your sweet words on my blog. I love when you visit!! It's like a bit of sunshine:)
This is amazing! Love the rustic background and you did a great job portraying the musician. Love it!
Thank you for your comment on my birdhouses. I did draw them and the whole picture is 5x4 inches on watercolour paper usng acrylics.
Brown school uniform - you and me both. Wasn't it yucky!
Love the whole vibe you've got going here. I am chilling in the coffee shop with you, with my feet up and a big steaming mug of latte in my hands (and a nice fat cake on a plate in front of me - I'm not going to eat it though... just look!)
love, Love, LOVE this! really fabulous, Mandy. ♥ dani

Mandy this is just great!! it's funny how no one likes brown but so far everyone's work is amazing!

Great job of focusing on brown and the addition of color is perfect! Very "of the era" beatnik style. I can feel the music..... :)
Oh my gosh this is beautiful! I love the floor, it really does pop against the brown!!
I LOVE this! I collect ATCs of girls with guitars (and mandolins, too). I also have a brown acoustic but my electric is purple with glitter, LOL. I don't play very well, but I enjoy trying. This painting has great vibes!
This piece is really cool. Great work!
Mandy! LOVE this canvas - and the meaning behind it - an alter ego perhaps? Love her. Well I am doing the finger snaps for you. Beautiful job, xo
Amazing canvas...loving the colour combo. the background is Fab!!

Mandy, I really love the thought you put into this. What a fabulous piece for our brown week! I wish I could have been a beat-nik also - too cool!

This is unique and I like your style.Lots of fun memories when I saw this.
Mandy I made my own journal and that is where my watercolors are being put this time around. I think I showed the journal when I started. Thanks for asking.
Absolutely stunning Mandy... love that background and the splash of turquoise... totally awesome...

Wow! I love this! The combination of the browns and the turquoise works SO well! It's like "eye candy" to me! And "the guitar girl" is such a fun idea!
