Works in Progress – Continued

So, I thought I’d continue to show you how these are emerging! Here is the latest: Â Work in Progress 1 – As I mentioned in the prior post, this one needed some toning down. In real life, it looks more green, so I used some green acrylic to unify the background and make it [...]

Works in Progress – Dried

Here are some additional pictures of the WIPs, now that the gel medium has dried: Work in Progress 1 – I love the colors here, but I think it’s going to need some toning down. The design right now is far too busy! WIP 2 – This one has some real design to it. I [...]

Art for today

I have some works in progress to share today. Nothing finished, but at least one layer on each of these small canvases. The first two are 5 x 5 canvas. Both are just in the starting stages. I am going to let them dry overnight and I hope to at least get one more layer [...]

Artwords – Window

I was quite inspired by the Artwords topic of the week, “Window”! My mind went in many different directions, but in the end, it was a sheet of watercolor paper and my Pigma Micron pen that finally “won”. Most of my work is very textured and collage, but fo this one, I felt I could [...]

Better day, Studio Friday and Sneak Peek!

Today I woke up with energy and I felt much better. Thanks to all of you who sent me well-wishes. It means a lot! Studio Friday’s topic is Comfort and so I thought that with all the health stuff going on this week, I should share my “comfy chair” (left). It’s a chair I picked [...]

Art for today – “Bird”

This week’s “Artword” is “Bird”. I have not tried to do anything with a bird in the past, but I figured that the shape of a bird was something I could probably create with my collage work. I’m fairly happy with the result of this mixed media piece. It’s created with handpainted (with acrylic) papers, [...]

Studio Friday – a little late

Studio Friday’s topic on Nov. 10th was “Studio Indulgences“. Well, I really spent a lot of time this week purging things that were taking up space but I didn’t use and I didn’t need. Now I see that my indulgences – little things that I need to have for comfort – are the things that [...]

Gifts

I received two lovely gifts in the mail this morning. I did an art trade with some friends and I received LOVELY pieces back. The piece to the left is from my dear friend, Tracey Kazimir-Cree. Tracey is also my web designer and such a talented artist. If the piece to the left doesn’t convince [...]

No art yesterday

Yesterday I woke up fed up with all the clutter in my studio. It’s fairly organized, for a studio, but it’s not holding only the things I want it to hold, so that’s a problem! To that end, I spent yesterday purging. I’ve gone through a bunch of mounted stamps and placed some (over 150!) [...]

Sunday’s art

I spent most of Sunday with my husband, just relaxing, going to lunch, running some errands… But Sunday evening, while watching Extreme Makeover – Home Edition, I started sketching some faces. I keep challenging myself to get back into drawing, which I did as a kid all the time, but I donm’t usually take the [...]
