Christmas 2010 Window Art

Painted up the front windows with the elf theme.  It was a good day

Back again

• I've finished one painting which I will post as soon as I can scan or photo it and post.  I've also started 2 new paintings all in oil (which I haven't gotten into for a very long time).  It feels good to be back painting.  I miss my biggest fan but still, I'm doing it again.  It's all good.  I will post again soon.  Oils take a long time to dry.  But it is so worth the extra patience required.

Commitment and note to self

Start painting again.  I have to try something I haven't done in a while to get myself to start painting again.  I've joined a drop in work shop starting this coming Saturday.  I'm starting to feel excited about going and meeting other artists and picking up the brush that will hit a canvas.  It's not that I haven't touched a paint brush at all.  I painted my dining room and kitchen.  Does that count?  No murals, just painted walls.  It still felt really good to smear that paint on.  It's part of the whole experience.  Watch the paint hit the surface and change it.  Yeah!!!

October all ready

It's already October.  The spring and summer went by quickly.  I didn't participate in any art related activities since last fall now.  I haven't been able to get my head into it.  Still trying to find myself first.  Hoping to get inspiration and start all over again in 2011.

Another month

Thinking about painting again.  Organized my art room on Saturday.  Everything is in order and ready for work.  Maybe this weekend.

More than a month gone by again and my life has changed

What a difference a few short weeks can make.   I am not the same person I was a month ago and don't know that I ever will be.  My husband passed away on February 13th.  I want to paint but find I can't.  He used to be in the background supporting me with almost every brush stroke whether I wanted him to or not.  He always gave me good critiques.  I am at a loss as to what to paint but I want to paint.  The canvas is blank.   I am posting this watercolor.  I did it with lot's of ideas from Jonathon about 10 weeks ago.  I love this picture.

A Brand New Year

Here we are already almost finished with January 2010. How time flies and once again I haven't posted for some time now. It's not that I haven't been painting. Just not posting. Here are a few more of the snow scenes done for Christmas 2009 for my family and friends. You know who you are.

 Before I know it I'll be gearing up for the new market year starting in May.
