Chicago, Chicago….
Friday I got up very early. DH decided not to exercise, but was still up at 5:00-ish. So he jumped in the shower and turned on all the lights, ran the hair dryer, etc… So, I got up and showered, dressed for a day of volunteering for Cochlear at the Devonshire Senior Center. They were [...]
Creative Therapy
I’m a true believer that art can be a great form of therapy. It has always been a safe haven for me. And so, when I was asked to join a design team of creative bloggers who would work on weekly journal prompts I heartily jumped in! I am now a proud member of the [...]
Coming back to life
I’m finaly feeling more like myself. I’ve completed some ATCs. It feels good to be back in the swing! And I love that my studio is still organized, so I can find things quickly. I have been finishing up some pieces that have been sitting around in the studio for months, and I’ll be putting [...]
Artwords – “Woman”
This weekend I started another face for my practice. As it turns out the Artwords prompt for this week is “Woman” so I thought I would show you what I’m working on. Inspired by my recent trip to Hawaii, she just happened. I have been studying faces, and I’m getting a bit better about creating [...]
Thursday was a fun day; Friday was recovery, tea-time and art
On Thursday, after I posted, I left to meet Angie for a day of fun. We started off our morning at Starbucks (as usual) and then went to Hancock Fabrics, which was going out of business. Bad news for them. Good news for us! We cleaned out the Sulky threads and found some cool fabric [...]
Illustration Friday
I created this painting last week some time. I wasn’t sure it was finished, but then I saw the Illustration Friday topic of “sprout’. It seems to fit here. I don’t know that it’s finished, but I wondered what I was creating as I was creating it. And, well, it looks like there is grass [...]
Studio Friday a day late
Studio Friday’s topic is “Travel” and since Friday was spent in loopy land, I am posting my response now! Travel, which I was supposed to do this weekend, is always physically difficult for me; however, I do love it. It is an opportunity to visit family and friends; to take photos of things that inspire [...]
Catching up and LOTS of ART!
I cannot tell you how good it feels to have my “lifeline” back! I missed all my online friends! Thanks for hanging in there while I was dealing with the computer issues. I did get a call from Best Buy today. They’re junking the computer (DUH!) and s DH is going to get a new [...]
The Finished Page – “She Dreams in Color”
Art journaling is interesting… Some pages will sit here for months before I finish them, but this one came to me. It needed to be finished. Once I decided it didn’t need words, just a face to describe the feelings, “She Dreams in Color” was easy to finish. I’m really pleased with this one. I [...]
Where did November go?
I cannot believe it’s November 30th and AEM (Art Everyday Month) is over. I did pretty well with AEM, and I enjoyed it. I plan to do my best to do art regularly and to post about it. Today Angie came over and we did our usual talking and playing. I worked on three canvases [...]
