This week’s WordPress Challenge is ‘Between.”
My mind immediately dashed on many thought tangents as I pondered ideas that represent ‘Between.” The above art project (in progress) keeps getting stalled due to rain showers, so climb aboard and step into a mosaic-filled world!
Some of my mosaic paintings trick the eye, and people touch the artwork to confirm that it’s paint and not tile.
I’ve chuckled and said that it probably takes longer to paint a mosaic than it would to set each tile.
This past week, I’ve had the opportunity to test that theory! Between rain showers, my friends and I have been working on a mosaic-tile design for their soaking tub. We are enjoying the challenge, but the rains keep disrupting our progress!
Between showers, we uncover the design and resume placing and cementing the free-flowing patterns. Would anyone care to guess what will be featured on Thursday’s Timeout for Artj?
The rain clouds are lifting, and it’s time to get back to work!
See you on Thursday! Z

I’ve never tackled mosaic, but love the effect. Your painted mosaics really fool the eye. Good luck with the weather. I would like some of that rain. It thunders all around us but not on my garden. 🙂

I admire your patience and ability to keep focused with interruptions. Maybe the pauses in between are the time that creative energy is rekindled. Looking forward to seeing the grand finale. 🙂

Yep! I’m in the states until tomorrow. Glad we’re getting some rain, finally, but Murphy’s Law is in full effect on Ometepe. Ron went to the Moyogalpa hospital yesterday because he caught some nasty intestinal bug right after I left for the states. UGH! I’ll be home on Thursday. Hopefully, he is on the road to recovery. If not, we’ll make a trip to Vivian Pellas in Managua to see what in the world is happening with his stomach.
