Summer of Colour 1 - Citron Green & Turquoise

Ah the Girls of Summer…
There’s Ruth, Martha (the mean looking one, don’t think I want to mess with her) and Gaby on a road trip…
…staying at their favorite Motel LOL. I am sure if the picture was in colour one of them would surely be wearing  Citron Green & Turquoise don’t you think!  
And no, none of these fine ladies are relatives - just using up my very large collection of black and white photos I have thrifted. Watercolor, ink and stamping for the background. My first Summer of Colour piece…Enjoy. Jewels

p.s. special message to Jo - okay telling me I have to figure out how to "make" citron green was absolutely no help girlfriend - I stressed out for several days trying to get it right (is that how it is to be for 6 weeks) then found an ink pad that was good enough LOL

    Your girls of summer are awesome for SOC. Nice job. I notice you family pet members on the sidebar, me too. I have mine now gone on the sidebar and my current family pet members. It's amazing how much we love your doggies. Nice job again.

    Love love love that photo, what a precious find, Jewels! You've told a wonderful story with this little postcard :)

    Re paint mixing - I recall saying that you would waste a lot of time and paint mixing them to get the required colours - I never said you'd achieve your aim, haha! That ink pad saved the day :)

    Good old polyester pantsuits. My mom ran around in those for a decade or two before I convinced her to move on, fashion-wise.
    Great pic and cool postcard(?). Glad to see you're doing the SOC too.
