Photo Journaling

I love to just grab my camera (Cool Pics) and go! Sometimes I take pics of mundane things. Thought you might like to see some of the latest. Now that I'm uploading the pictures, I feel a theme coming on! Hungry yet? ENJOY!

Challenge and Challenging...

I recently joined an on line group of artists, this is a waterstamp challenge, this technique is very challenging, but with practice, I hope to find great results. I've already tried many papers and both chunky and delicate stamps...

Collaboration

Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary. We've both been drawing, painting and writing for years. We've decided to collaborate on our writing and drawing endeavors. This is an experimental piece we just finished. Using 12x12 board, distress inks, paint, matte medium, charcoal, and Prismacolor pencils. Any thoughts for a title?

Torn

Last week I made a collage for a friend, color scheme was red and black.

Evermore Nevermore ~ Steam Punk Art

I dropped off two new pieces yesterday at Evermore Nevermore. Here's a photo!

Collage

My friend in Tucson ordered a custom Marie Antionette collage. I love the image.

Collages

When I traveled to Oregon last November my cousin and I went through some old photos. We discovered some lovely vintage photos including images of two of my great, great aunts that were dancers... One of the latest collages features my great, great aunt Angie.

I finished a painting this week. I love twilight, I love the dark blues in the sky. I've wanted to do some forest paintings for a year now, I have two more started... ENJOY!

happy new year!

the weather is perfect... the family is healthy... lots of creative ideas... it's a new year! looking forward to new adventures and possibilities! happy new year!

Featured Artist at The Angel Store and More

I will be the Featured Artist at the Angel Store and More on 5th Avenue in Scottsdale next Thursday ~ November 12 ~ 7-9 pm. I'll be busy the next few days creating, collaging, painting... Hope to see YOU there!

Lately...

I have discovered it is more important for me to CREATE than to write about creating... But I still need to keep up with my once a month quota of blog posts... I've been creating collages and paintings for a specific store in Scottsdale. My theme is vintage angel, fairy, dragonfly, and butterfly collages and paintings. I am having a BLAST! The store will be on the Scottsdale "Art Walk" soon, so please stop in The Angel Store and More on 5th Avenue when you get a chance. Wishing everyone a cool fall ~ I've heard it should drop 20-30 degrees by mid week!!!

Fall...

WOW! I turned around and it was fall already! The leaves aren't changing by my art is! I realized I've never posted pictures of my latest artwork. Took a class with Carol Wingert, she turned me on to "betwinchies (tm)" and I'm really enjoying creating some collages! ENJOY! If you're so inclined, see the movie "Bright Star", love story, but so much more...
