instagram,facebook, or the blog

 
today its out to dinner for Chinese food (celebration for my mother inlaws 85th birthday.
making a hair appointment
working on my summer canvas (pictures tomorrow)
are you on instagram or facebook, I resisted for a long time because
I didn't really understand how it all worked.  But now I got it
figured out, my blog posts to facebook, and I have joined some groups. That
is about my extent on facebook, have I got any new people from my blog
being on facebook, I don't think so.  Instagram, I post pictures of my art,
with a little line about it, and then you #hastag things like art, sketches etc
and then you get followers. Its like a mini blog, and your art gets
seen by many more people.  If I have to be only on one, I would pick
Instagram.  If you haven't joined up go ahead its easy and its fun.
This is not a paid announcement for instagram (lol).

techniques


Linking up to mix it monthly
 
you know there is always a way to refresh old art
take this one, this is 2 different elements
the girl
and the background
I have shown this girl before but no background
I have a file on my computer called backgrounds where I keep a scan of my
backgrounds I make
so when I want to mix it up some, I choose a different background
and a different element (the girl) and put them together
I use photshop elements a really easy program (not like photshop which I find
really hard) and here is what I got.  So that the tip of the day.

A little paint goes along way



 
 
 
This is a picture I did in an art journal class that I took.  I have fun once a month
I go and take an art journal class, all the same ladies, and we just have fun and learn
a little along the way. And I get to meet like minded ladies
Well I think today might be the day that we start working on the deck.  It needs
a good paint job and clean up, I have been sitting out there in hopes of getting
some color on me but I like a nice place to sit.  So the hubster has heard enough
of my bitching and complaining and is going to do something about it. I even said
I would help him, after I picked him off the floor from fainting from disbelieve he
said I could be 2nd in command.
Okay enough jibber jabber what is on your weekend agenda?.

Its all about the profile....

 
I find the profile hard to draw, they always get this angry look on there face.
Well we made it to Friday, tomorrow our area is having a area wide garage sale,
we are not having one, I give all my stuff to the good will, so that I am
able to go to the garage sales and bring home more stuff.  Makes sense right.
So today its beautiful out, I put on my shorts, and am going to sit on the deck
and try to get these white white legs of mine some sun.
Today I am linking to http://mix-it-monthly.blogspot.ca/2015/06/june-2015-facial-profile.html this month its all about the profile.
what are you doing this weekened?

Summer loving...

 
I have been recycling old art.
It seems I have not been feeling it lately.
I don't know if it summer or me doubting myself and wondering what the hell I am doing
I have started a canvas, great ideas, but just cant go work on it.
do you ever get like that?

Stock or not

 
I joined this site called Death to the Stock and every month
I get pictures.  I joined because I thought I might use them
on my blog sometimes, instead of my art.  I like the like of
them on other blogs, but I dont think my blog is the kind of blog
that should use them, What do you think? Yes, NO?

Hello June

 
hello June, its a busy month, a sad month, a happy month
its my mothers birthday and I still miss her everyday
its my mother inlaws 85 birthday and the family is going to celebrate
I still have quite figured out how to let some of my readers know
I have moved, I quess I will let it go and just get new readers right.
Today I am meeting two friends for lunch and a catch
up ,these are the friends I go to Phoenix with every year.
Devil Dog went yesterday to get a clip and curl.  She
hates it and cried the whole time in the car, I don't know
how she knew where she was going but she did.
I made a chicken stew in the crockpot for tonight's dinner,
its rainy and cool, just right for chicken stew.
Then its off to the hospital to visit my friend. 
Okay that's my day in a nutshell, so boring I know.  What's
on your schedule today?
