Finger Painting

 Hello, how are you all doing?  Well I am sitting here in my PJ's writing this blog post, and its almost 11:00 AM.  The snow came down all night and there is a ton of it out there, the wind is blowing, and the hubster is out with the snowblower . Now I wish I was with my friend Gayle, who escaped this weather and went down to her house in Mexico.  

Today I am off shopping with the shopper.  I don't need anything but its nice to get out of the house and have lunch and do some window shopping.  

I have been working on finger painting on board.  Yes I said finger painting, I bought a course from Alisha Burke awhile back and one of the exercises was finger painting flowers so I am working on that.  Will show you when its done.  Have you bought ecourses and never done anything with them.  This is the year that I am going to go back to the ecourses (and there is a lot of them) and do them.  So I started with this one.

okay I better go and shower and put some clothes on my daughter would not appreciate me going shopping in my PJ.S

Who doesnt need some Angel Love

I have been working on a series of angel paintings.  This is one of them, I did them on board, measuring 4x7.  They turned out good
I think, they all look different, I did 3.  I am going to post the other two on a different day.  

I am in the middle of creating a new website, where my blog will be.  I will be telling you when it set up, and then keep reminding you of the new address.  I am excited about it, keep in mind I am no techie, but I am doing it.

Cactus Love

I love the look of a cactus, I am not great caring for plants, so
don't have in my house.  I forget to water them, or overwater them.  But I bet I could look after a cactus.  I was sitting at the art desk
one day fooling around on butcher paper, seeing how much paint
it could take, and this is what came out of it.  Now I don't recommend painting a picture you want to keep on it, because who
knows how long it will stand up.  But I could not throw it away,
I loved the way it came out.  I wanted to give it to my friend, who's
house we go to every October who lives in the winter in Arizona. I
made a print of it, but I asked her if she wanted the original.  She
wanted the original.  So now this picture which started on as an orange blob lives in Phoenix.

Hello

Did you know I love to mix painting and collage together.  I am

not great at it, but I love to do it.  I somehow feel that when you

do collage it has to tell a story.  I know there are no rules to collage

and its do what feels good to you.  But I need to tell a story,

even if its in my head.  What do you see here?  Here is what I saw when creating this piece of art.  I see Mrs. Duck (that's what we will call her) walking into town, thinking hum what do I need for theduck families dinner.

Ok that's my story, what's yours

working on board

This little Miss I created on cradle board, I have decided that I like working on board.  I think it absorbs the color more.  

Today I am working on some art for the shop, a little something

different, lets hope it turns out.

Leaving the house

I created this piece of art on board.  I like working on board.  I think it holds the paint well, and the color seems to pop.  This started out a board with a collage of color over it.  But it soon morphed into this tween and her house.  Linking to paint party

Friday, just to let you know I am leaving comments but they

don't seem to be getting there, keep getting error messages.  I am trying to figure this out, so don't think I haven't been leaving comments because I have.  I think all the art on paint party Friday

is amazing. http://paintpartyfriday.blogspot.ca/2018/01/paint-party-friday-week-45-year-7-check.html

Girls just need some space

Today I woke up unhappy with myself and the world.  Okay I had
gained a few pounds over the holidays, which made me  grumpy 
plus we are having a severe cold spell.  So cold its a weather warning.  I decided to ignore all that and of course get in
my car and go out.  Bundled up, sweater,coat,scarf,gloves,boots and took myself out shopping.  First went to Marshalls, looked around, didn't buy anything, of course I really don't need anything.  Headed over to Michael's bought a couple of Christmassy things on sale.  Then went to the dollar store, I found some sharpie brush pens 5 in pkg for 3.00.  I had just spent just a couple of weeks ago
for 1 sharpie brush pen, 3.00.  So I was happy about that.  Then
I took myself off for a haircut, and now all is right with the world.
Sometimes a girl just has to have time for herself and spend some money.
