Done!

I still didn't get the blanket the way I wanted it, but I think I'm happy with the dogs:)

Almost Done!

I still want to work on the blanket because it looks flat and doesn't seem like it's curving around the dogs.  They look kind of like paper dolls right now, but I think I'm getting there.

Tammy's Kids - Work in Progress

This is what I'm working on right now.  I changed the color of the blanket from the original photo.  I loved that color, but I thought making it lighter would help put more focus on the kids.  I still have a few more layers to paint.  If it turns out, I'll send it to my sister.

Sacred Datura Completed

I think this is finished.  I'm going to leave it on the board for a few days and then look again.


 

Sacred Datura WIP

I love these flowers.  They are gorgeous and grow wild here.  They are poisonous and some people consider them to be weeds, but how can you think that about something so pretty?  This is on 11"x14" Fabriano 140 lb cold press paper.  I usually use Arches, but I'm checking out this paper.  As usual, I had to do some scrubbing out:).  The paper takes it well.  I'm using a little masking fluid in the center of several of the flowers. 

Happy Sunday!

If You Have Thirty Minutes...

This man is delightful!  I have a friend who has taken workshops from him.  He is just as nice in person as he appears to be in this film.  I love the things he says about the medium and about artists.  I also love his art.

Salt Paintings!

While we waited for layers to dry on our big painting, we painted small salt paintings.  I scanned mine and used Microsoft Publisher to make Christmas cards.
