HATS

Hi Everyone!

It is a chilly Sunday morning and for some reason my search today made its way to hats. I have not done a blog post on hats in awhile. These are the hats that looked pretty, made me laugh or are just crazy. Enjoy

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 10/27

Hi Everyone!

Wow another week gone. So much going on in my life, (and thank the gods most of it good) that when PPF comes along I am scrambling to get something made up to show. I need to take some time for quiet, easy going art. LOL We took a drive to Bandon, OR. yesterday. It is one of our favorite towns here on the Oregon coast. People are so friendly, the art shops are pretty amazing and we just have a nice time. We do it at this time of the year because during summer the tourist make it impossible to enjoy the town. Haaa even my own town.  Then for what ever reason I have been sleeping in. I am normally up by 5AM 4:30 is better for me. I didn't get up until 8AM today. OMG!!!! I haven't done that since....... well I don't think I have ever slept in that late. It makes me feel like 1/2 my day is gone.  I guess I needed the sleep.  So a big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting 

Paint Party Friday. I am anxious to see what all of you have created this week. 

I did get this drawn early in the week.

This is something I have wanted to try for some time.  I did learn that lighter colors are better than the darker for detail. 

I used a canvas that has been repainted on many times. That did lead to some nice texture.

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 10/20/17

Hi Everyone!

I have to tell you that last Friday the 13th, I had the BEST day. My friend, Deb and I started at 9:30AM and ended the day at 5:00PM. We laughed the whole day and at one place we were cutting up so much we got the cashiers in on it. One of the ladies ask if we were sisters, Deb and I put our heads together and both said, YES. I love sister friends. The rest of my week has been fast, furious and outstanding. I was invited to an art show for next month in Eugene and I can hardly wait. I could only hope that all of this happy goodness continues. Last Saturday was DemArts and our FAB bead group always attends. Another day of just fun. The winner of my Sparkle Cab Contest is Karan Parker be sure to scroll all the way down to see some amazing bead art.  Sooo with that I don't really have any finished art this week. Every piece is a WIP.  A big thanks to Eva and Kristen

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 10/13

Hi Everyone!

Friday the 13th are my favorite days. There is something special about them for me and this one is no different. Just gives me a good ghostly feel 👻  and I always have the best luck on Friday the 13th. So something really good is going to happen. One thing I am meeting up with one of my beat beady friends for breakfast and then a day of shopping. My DH needs some rest and with me out of the house he can do that better. So with traveling back and for to Salem, OR. From Florence, OR. (a 3 hour drive one way) I haven't had much time to create. I am having itchy finger to get some painting done, ya know on canvas.  Maybe this weekend that will happen. For now I have a special order finished and more painted glass cabs. I am in love with the polka dots and may just have to keep those for myself. LOL  Bit thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday. I look forward to seeing what all of you have created this week. 

This was so much fun. I used a fan brush 

to create this

Again using a fan brush with a totally different effect.

These are SOOOO COOOOO and have such depth. The polka dots seem to float on the gold shinny background. The polka dots are vinyl.

Special order for a lady in Oklahoma. She wanted brown earthy colors and simple/pretty

PAINT PARTY FRIDAY 10/6

Hi Everyone!

Wow this has been a fast and furious week. Recoup from the yard sale, then take DH to Salem, OR for surgery. It is a 3 hour drive one way. I am very thankful that Salem is a pretty easy city to drive in. The surgery went well and the staff were amazing. While I was there I had time to draw and so that is what I am showing for PPF.  A huge thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday.
