Curves in all the right places

Day #2.  Look at that... I managed Day #2.  They say it takes 3 weeks for an action to become a habit.  I am well on my way.  Pears are one of my favorite objects to paint. I love the curves. June 27, 2012

An Orange a Day

I struggle to maintain discipline in my life, especially in my art. Can you still keep the creative frenzy going while cultivating an organized regimen?  I guess I'll find out.  When talking to my dear friend Lois this weekend, she suggested "A Painting a Day."  I love the concept. This is day #1.  I am working with acrylics in small scale, 6" x 6" gesso boards. My initial theme is produce, as I love working with fruits and vegetables.  June 26, 2012.

I found my paints!

And I have moved once more, back across the mountains to Kennewick  Last move!  Forever! So many boxes. I have finally found my art supplies and managed to put paint on canvas this week.  Tomorrow we celebrate my husband's son's birthday.  So I painted this small piece for Matt.  This is a scarab beetle, dating back to Ancient Egypt, where they were considered good luck beetles. As a symbol of the rising sun and a protector from evil; the Scarab, is also a symbol of rebirth, regeneration and transformation. Good thoughts for a birthday.

 

A dung beetle is sitting at the bar, nursing his gin and tonic.  A beautiful female dung beetle sidles up to him, taps him on the shoulder and says…. “Is this stool taken?”
