Wise One

I finished the whimsy, Forest Girl whom I now have renamed to "Wise One"....who listens! Thank you Tamara LaPorte for sending me this free lesson. I'm very happy that I've learned so much and have a lot more confidence in drawing faces...even whimsical ones. Now all I have to do is to find my own style of whimsy.

Whimsy Forest Girl

Yup, I'm back at the "faces" especially the whimsy ones. I had an opportunity to revisit Tamara Laporte and her whimsy girl, so I went along....changed her up a bit, I am calling her "Wise One" because she listens to the wise owl on her shoulder. She is almost complete.

Getting Out...of My Rut

Okay, I know that this past year has been brutal. I still really miss Victoria and my friends there....and of course the weather. Today it's a bit warmer than the -9 but the first big snow has fallen. Yuk! I am trying to embrace these changes but my physic just refuses. I'm not sleeping well and of course I've gained quite a bit of weight, or at least it feels like that to me. Nevertheless, I need to get out of my rut and begin anew. Currently I am exploring a new series of paintings, these ones will include hats and possibly instruments and maybe even people. I am growing in the arts a lot more than I ever thought. At least I've made progress on the creative side of my life, although when I feel a little down being creative is a lot harder.

Until next time...happy creating

Done and Delivered

I know that I have not been too regular on the blog these past months...but I have completed yet another piece. This painting was commissioned by my sister and was 60" x 36" (The Last of the Summer Birches) the largest piece I have ever done. I actually don't have a proper photo of this piece cause it was way tooooo big! Hopefully the next time I see her (like in April/May) I will take a photo to have for my records and hopefully will post here.

Until next time....happy creating
