Daily Paper Prompt #1: Paint a Rainbow
Wed, August 1, 2012 at 11:12AM "A Gift for You
A cottage retreat on a hill in Ireland. This cottage is filled with fresh flowers, art supplies, and a double-wide chaise lounge in front of a wood-burning fireplace. There is a cabinet near the front door, where your favorite meals appear, several times a day. Desserts are plentiful and calorie free. The closet is stocked with colorful robes and pajamas, and a painting in the bedroom slides aside to reveal a plasma television screen with every movie you've ever wanted to watch. A wooden mailbox at the end of the lane is filled daily with beguiling invitations to tea parties, horse-and-carriage rides, theatrical performances, and violin concerts. There is no obligation or need to respond. You sleep deeply and peacefully each night, and feel profoundly healthy. This cottage is yours to return to at any time.”

3x5" index card, heavy body acrylics, fluid acrylics
Paint the page a rainbow of colors.
Using a palette knife, a dull pencil or a pen lid, scrape a design in the paper.
A rainbow could be a stripe of each color of the rainbow in one medium, or several intertwined.
