This week's tea party is for Anne/jdmommy's DIL, Debbie, who broke her leg (major ouch!), but, with crutches and a mask, is now back in school, teaching Math. I hope you join us to wish her speedy recovery!
Anita/snietje challenged us to use lighthouses in our cards, since Debbie likes them. Also, since she is a Math teacher, Anita added the challenge of putting a number - even if it's hidden.
I sketched the lighthouse and the cliff then water colored it, the violet clouds (it looks pinkish in the pic, but it is actually violet) were stenciled, the sea was also water colored, but the white foam was done using white acrylic paint. I really loved Anita's idea of hiding numbers in the painting, and though it may be hard to see, 1, 2 and 3 are in there. What is maybe easier to see are some mathematical symbols: +, - , x, the symbol for division, =, the symbol for pi, a pair of parenthesis, the square root symbol, the greater than symbol, the less than symbol, and the symbol for an angle.
Thank you for the challenge, Anita - hiding the math symbols was specially fun! Thank you for looking!

I just love your hand sketched and painted lighthouse and your violet sky and sea .... but you really wowed me with the math symbols that you've hidden in your art work!! Incredible! Won't Debbie have great fun looking for each of the symbols?!!

Wow - who needs stamps when you can sketch like this, Gem. And that sea - it's beautiful. I didn't actually find the numbers but had great fun searching for all the symbols.
