Blast from the Past

Found some things at my mom's house that I painted about 10 years ago. It was fun to see them again. My dad loved birdhouses and birds so I painted one for him. I still like it after all these... Continue reading

A Meaningful Piece...to Me

Carla Naron made one like this some time ago and I held on to a picture of it. It was just what I was looking to make to remind me of those faces challenges. So, I pulled out bits of... Continue reading

Class by Christy Tomlinson

I've admired Christy Tomlinson's work and the work that I've seen others do in her She Art class so I decided to take her online class. It's so much fun. She's very thorough and if you're not familiar with mixed... Continue reading

A fish ornament and a journal cover re-do

I bought some clear glass ornaments for a project with the Sunday School kids and couldn't resist playing with a few of them. A transparency (by Artchix), some glitter, beads, trim and a tag later and I had a fish... Continue reading

A Framing Trick

I learned this some time ago and just used it again yesterday. If you are finishing off the back of a piece you've framed and you're adding a dust cover (you know, the brown kraft paper on the back), here's... Continue reading

Getting in the Christmas mood

This is part of my sister-in-law, Stephanie's tree. I loved her color scheme - lime and red and took some close-ups. Then I played with them in Paintshop: Kaleidoscope effect... and I think this was neon or something... Continue reading

Journal Page, Painting and Clay bird

A bit of practice on cherry blossoms, bamboo and a peony before putting them on the painting for Susan Beth. I hope she'll like it. I'm pleased so far. Just a tiny bit of detailing left, but need to think... Continue reading

One day while thinking about Frida Kahlo's life, I imagined the kind of frame that would be fitting for my painting of her. She lived with so much pain for most of her adult life and because of it, it... Continue reading

New painting and a zentangle

Here's the painting I've been working on. This scan isn't the greatest as the background is a darker green than this appears. I added the dog bones, shadows, and the heart on the dog's keester. Then while sitting outside with... Continue reading

Summer fun and finds
