Thursday Afternoon Note
This is a quick note to let you know I am not going to be in a place to post for the next few days. Have a Great Weekend! Subscribe in a reader
An Opportunity
Today I am stumping a bit, but I promise it is not about US politics. Do you ever dream of being published or of just sharing what you do with a broader audience? If this sounds true to you, then I have an opportunity for you to consider. As many of you know I have [...]
Finding Beauty
A while back, we had a discussion on this blog about hanging art on colored or non-white walls. I said I have a great love of doing that and have found in some cases it really shows off paintings nicely. I have been painting my foyer and one of the walls is a very dark [...]
Seeing Colors And Making Shapes
This is an old, old piece. It is pastels on black paper…about 10″ x 14″. It is just basically something I did fast one day to do something in a short time frame. One thing I have found interesting is the feather shape. I often want to make this shape for not any known reason. [...]
Dreams
When you have night dreams, what are they like? Do you have specific images which come to mind and sometimes tell a story? That does not happen to me very often. It has happened from time to time, but I often dream in swirling colors or swirling colored lights. I get the story in some [...]
Monday Blanks
Today I do not have a great deal to share with you. While some of my blog friends were nursing sniffles, going to art shows and going along to high teas (you know who you are), I was painting the walls in my foyer and stairwell. And I can tell you they are looking much [...]
Hiring An Agent…and A Friday Smile
photo provided by The Associated Press This is Cholla, the painting horse from Nevada, USA. Now I know you have seen other animals who paint professionally, and many of their paintings are similar. I actually think it is rather cool these animals are getting in touch with their creative side. But the thing about Cholla [...]
Reverse Translations…
This is another circle image I did from a photo on Dumpr. You can tell it was originally a circular image. I thought the colors were kind of autumn like and it might be fun to share with you. And this is the photograph I used in the program.There is not a lot to say [...]
Work in Progress
This is a 30″ x 40″ canvas I have been working on…doesn’t look like much, does it? That is because it isn’t. I just have not gotten any further with it than this. My husband thinks it looks like tanned leather…nope, just canvas and acrylic. I wish I had more to show you today, but [...]
Doodling in Paint?
As you may know, I have been working with my non-dominant hand on a regular basis – encouraged along by Andrea and Suki. I have found it to be freeing and am wondering if it will influence work I do with my dominant (right) hand. One of the doodles I have wanted to do in [...]
