where have I been?

I have been laid up with a bad leg and knee. I walk now with a walker or cane because the pain is so bad. It let up a little bit yesterday and I just had to get off the couch and try to create something. I started out with the Journal Background using Tulip Fabric Sprays and then I finished off this Gal that I had started before my leg went bum. LOL

what's wrong with my leg you ask? After this horrible MRI I took I found it it's the sciatica nerve and some water on the knee. I have to see a surgeon. so it's more waiting for me. I did get to my studio yesterday to create this piece so maybe just maybe I can keep doing some work. it's so hard to hobble around in my studio as it's small and very messy.and after about an hour into it the pain gets to where I can't stand it. but anywho enough whining here is what I finished up yesterday.

Something Different

I'm learning how to put more depth into my Art Journaling. I created this piece.. It's a bit Steampunky isn't it. LOL

I'm have the stare at the white page problem again.. I have so much in my head that I can't get it out on paper. anyone have any solution for this.

It's a Tim Thing

I'm trying to do more then just Art Journaling and Drawing/Painting Whimsical Gals so I thought I'd get into the Tim Holtz Tag event that starts at the beginning of each month. This Month he created this beautiful Butterfly tag. I didn't have all the products he used so I improvised and came up with this tag.

My Camera does it no justice. The embossing powder on the butterfly looks like grout within the mosaic..

well back to Art Journaling and Whimsy Gals. LOL

Hey!! Thanks for looking.

I love Fairys..

I love Fairys so much I have bought two books on how to draw them. The first book that came is a bit over my head but I did take some tips off of it on the eyes I did on this gal. Once again I'm trying to work with Acrylic Paint more..

I haven't received the second book yet but I hope when I do it gives more instructions and makes less assumptions that I know what I'm doing ... ROFL!! 

Thanks for stopping by..

Learning every day

I am trying to learn how to work with Acrylics more. I so love my watercolor crayons but on Canvas it is really hard as the paint wants to come right off the canvas. I started out with the crayons and ended up doing mostly acrylics on this piece. I want to learn how to blend my colors better.. I know black is very hard to work with and I think after doing the red dress that is also.. Leave it to me to pick the two hardest colors. LOL  

anyone know of a dynamite workshop that deals with acrylics and blending like hair and faces let me know. I'm a workshop aholic.. I love taking them and learning..

anywho here is my newest piece.

Mermaids and Fairies

This week I really got into painting. I haven't been feeling well so I've been working in the wee hours when my cramping wasn't too bad..

I created this Mermaid using of coarse Acrylics and my well loved Neo Color Crayons..

I'm not so happy with this piece .. Might work on it some more. By the time 4 in the morning rolled around the pain had gotten severe so I hurried it up and should have just put it down for another day.

See the Mica Flakes in her tail. How cool is that? 

The next piece I'm so happy with. Not because it's so correct but because I did my first

Unicorn. Actually my first horse.. The body is way too big but just to get it looking like 

a horse/unicorn amused me. LOL

I had a problem getting the eyes so they matched. I did it over and over again but finally

just said enough already and left it. LOL

By the time it came to do the background I wasn't feeling well again and once again I should have put it down but kept going .. I'm not in love with the background at all. 

Well they say it's the experience of painting and I do so love to paint so all in all I 

had a ball doing these pieces..

Hey!! thanks for stopping by me blog.

Artist Study

I finally finished a Painting I started almost four days ago. I have been working on it in the wee hours of the night every night...The painting is a study of the Artist Alphonse Mucha.. I love his work with Circles and flowers and filigree.. The Background kind of got lost when I put the gal on the Substrate. I was kind of upset that I painted the piece too big. I had to chop off some of the dress on both the angel and the little girl. Oh well I adapted.. LOL

This piece is done with Watercolor Crayons  and Acrylics with a lot of stamping thrown in. LOL  I should have taken a picture of the background but hey who thunked it.

I want to add on the Angels Wings some Silver Leafing but that has to wait for a trip to 

Michaels or Hobby Lobby.. I sure hope one of them has it. 

I also might do some brayering on top so the flowers  aren't so prominent ..

what do you think? or is it fine just the way it is.

Inquiring minds want to know. LOL
