Catching up & CreativeTherapy

Goodness, it’s been a while. I’ve been busy with life. I’ve continued to paint daily, but nothing passed what I call the gesso test. It wasn’t going to get any better and so I just laid gesso over the images to start over. I’ve sketched some images on the newly gessoed canvases and I hope [...]

Art Every Day Month – Lace Woman – Final

I am so excited to have completed this painting. I thought I was done on Saturday, but I showed my dear friend, Tracey, the painting and she mentioned that the tree was fighting with the face for attention. So, I used some Payne’s Gray to push it back into the background. I’m much happier with [...]

November

It’s November 4. Election Day here in the US. Please, if you have not yet voted, get out there and vote. I’ve made no secret of my support of Senator Barak Obama. I’ve had his badge in my sidebar for a while now. And, while this is not a political blog, I do urge you [...]

CreativeTherapy Catalyst 22

Oh my goodness! All the excitement of Art Unraveled got me off schedule in publishing the CreativeTherapy catalyst for this week, so here it is: What is your greatest accomplishment?
Here is my response:
Biggest accomplishment? This was hard to choose. From a professional and educational standpoint, I have accomplished a lot in my 40 years. The [...]

Mannequin Madness

I’ve kept up with my drawing for the Every Day in May challenge. I have been like a madwoman with my mannequin drawing this week! I think part of the appeal is being able to pose them – reminds me of playing with Barbie as a kid. Granted, it’s been a long time, and the [...]

Every Day in May Drawings #6

Today I decided to do some drawing for most of the day. I’m trying to figure out if I really like the feel of the Hand-Book travel journals, since I bought one for my trip to France. I’ll decide after I get some time in with the paper. It’s thinner than what I use when [...]

Every Day in May – #3 & 4

The past two days have been hard for me physically. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed with fatigue and vertigo. I did draw yesterday – two things, so I’m going to count them as yesterday’s and today’s in case I can’t get drawing done today (but I’ll still try!).
Today I’m tired and [...]

Every Day in May Day 2

Today I am still feeling fatigued from the treatment. No surprise there… However, I am still challenging myself to keep up with at least one drawing each day. Today I did two challenges from the Every Day Matters Group.
EDM 31 – Draw something you collect.
I brought my grandmother’s vintage train case into the den, [...]

Every Day in May

I’ve decided to participate in the Every Day in May challenge. I’m going to try to create something every day. I already try that, but with family in town and my treatment yesterday, I’ve lagged behind. So, I’m committing to do it this month as much as possible. Some members of the challenge are [...]
