Happy Birthday, JoAnn!

Looks like we were able to surprise JoAnn with birthday greetings. Wishing you an awesome day, JoAnn, the weather is cooperating with a pleasant day to celebrate!

JoAnn might have been a bit anxious as time drew near for the 3 pm bell signifying the end of a Ripoff Artist challenge.

JoAnn Turner explains the theme for her cabinet. "I did almost like a four-colour photographic process with it, going from black and white to sepia (the traditional underpainting for oil paintings) to full colour, to wild Peter Max-style intensely coloured. So I was going through more or less a review of traditional artistic styles and techniques for each stage, until I got to  1960s psychedelic."

JoAnn is eyeballing the precise line to paint the angle of the buildings. A steady hand is needed.

For visual interest, the wooden bin's sides were painted in different styles.

Here JoAnn works on the final panel. A very colourful mod image indeed.
