Two Things Challenge – Plain/Peanut
I like to enter the 2 Things Challenge each week. This week is Peanut and Plain. I was trying and trying to figure out what to do. I would say these are both more conceptual … to whatever degree they work (not sure they do). I would like to be able to create more conceptually – because I think the vision of seeing an idea is very important. I hope you like my entries.

Here is another version (sorry, Neda – she is on a slow, slow computer/phone system right now). But I thought this might actually do better at showing contrast. So I went looking for the right bubblescape to work with and this jumped out as me as plain and peanut – hope you agree!

I have lots of bubblescapes done up that you haven’t seen yet. I put one on Flickr tonight to show my piece for Create Every Day (this is the blog). Some of you may want to join in! There is a message on her sidebar on the right that tells about it and lists all the participants. You can also see the Flickr Group where many people post their images.
To update you – I did some design work for someone as I had mentioned. I had felt very hopeful but it did not work out. The communication did not flow at all and we had a mutual parting of the ways. I think she will pay me what we agreed on .. I think she is honest. It was very weird – I am so known for my clear communication with customers and vendors … but this just did not work that way at all. I think perhaps it was my soul pushing me instead to stay focused on my own work … even if I don’t have as much income.
I know I am way behind in replying to your comments, but I figure you would rather have me comment on your own blogs and try to keep up there better. Hope all is well with you!!!

hi diane, thanks again for mentioning the creative every day 2008 project!
that’s too bad about your design job. sometimes we just don’t vibe well or connect with a person and it’s no one’s fault at all. i’m glad you parted ways in an agreeable way though. it always feels better when endings are mutual and fair.
happy creating to you!
Another stunning bubblescape Diane! Sorry to hear that the design job didnt work out.
Have a great weekend xx
Diane, I hardy ever comment on the comments people leave on my posts. Instead, I go to their blogs and leave comments there. It works.
Sorry that your design job didn’t work out. Sometimes we just don’t hit it off with other people, no matter how nice we are ourselves.
You’ve made a lovely bubble scape, as usual.
Thank you for your condolences, Diane. JD was my grandson, and for a very long time the only boy amidst a lot of girls. I will miss him.
Sorry your design job did not work out, but God must have other plans for you. Good that you were able to recognize that and move on.
Lovely Plain Peanuts 🙂
Love your designs – what filter do you use for your bubblescapes…I really like the look!!!!
The top image is cool –
thanks for sharing it all!!!
PEACE–ELLIE
Great paintings again Diane
Hi Diane,
I like both of these, but my favorite is the first one. I love the textures and colors in it especially. Both are beautiful, I always love your colors and vision!
I’m sorry about the design job falling through, but I do get the communication thing. That person came your way to help you with something, I’m sure. Your communication is always so direct and clear, I agree. You must be making room for something bigger!
Hi
I have completed the review of your site. You can see the results of the review here:

Diane: Another excellent entry. I especially like the first piece and the kaleidoscopic quality it possesses. I imagine, if I could rotate my head 360 degrees, the design would change with each turn. Well done!
So sorry about that job, maybe next time, do it in writing and let them pay at least a portion upfront. I empathize with you: very few non-artist clients really know what a challenge it is to create art within their specifications. The price does not reflect the finished product but also all the mental and physical and creative energies that go into a design. Better luck next time!
As for the 2 entries, I think the bubbles are fun and playful but I prefer the exquisite blue one. There is something gorgeous about that color (suits your eyes, right?) that speaks volumes to me. I love the Indian (?) pattern influence. Very exotic and exquisite! 🙂
I have DSL (wireless) but it is still frustrating ! 🙁
So sorry about that deal but you have a good attitude. There is one thing that a lot of non-artistic clients seem to forget or ignore and it is the tremendous efforts and mental strain and the amount of time involved in creating their specific requests. Next time, put it in writing! And better yet, get some down payment first!
I like the bubbles, fun and playful. But my favorite is the first one because you have chosen an incredible blue hue (like your eyes, right?) that is simply magnificent. It is both exotic and exquisite!!!
And yes, my internet is still acting up here although we have DSL (wireless not phone connected)
See what I mean?!!! So FRUSTRATING! I thought my first comment disappeared but there was a glitch here so I wrote another comment (similar) but now I see that both went through. Sorry about that 🙁
Oh I loooove that bubble scape!!
