Paint Party Friday 9/21

Hi Everyone

I have a lot going on including a trip. My leather exhibit is up but the photos haven't turned out to show you just how nice it looks. I have an abstract art exhibit starting Oct. 2 through Oct. 31 at the Art Supply Store here in Florence, Or on Hwy 101. Then on Oct. 6 I will be demonstrating at demArts. Our bead group has a table every year and this year I will also have my own table to demo abstract painting. Each artist gets a 2 hour time frame so beading at noon, painting at 2PM. If you are in Florence, Or. come see me.

Paint Party Friday 9/14

Hi Everyone! 

I'm posting early for Paint Party Friday because I am busy getting my leather exhibit ready to display.  If you are in Florence, Oregon From Sept 15 to Nov 14, 2018  please come by the Siuslaw Library to see my Sculpted Leather Art. SL 1460 9th St, Florence, OR. I will also be demonstrating abstract painting for demARTS at the library on Oct. 6th. demARTS is a huge gathering for artists and the public. Artists get a two hour space to demonstrate what type of art they create. My bead group has a space each year too, so I will show there as well. It is so much fun, again if you are in Florence, Oregon on that day come in. There are make and takes at some tables and door prizes.   

I want to thank Eva and Kristen for hosting PPF and to all the artist who take the time to leave me a comment. I know it takes time and I appreciate it. For me I leave a comment for everyone who shows at PPF. I do 10 at a time until I have seen and commented on everyone. So if you have stopped here, even if you don't like my art, leave a comment to say, "Hello"

Now for some art.

Because I am going to demo abstract art I have been playing with different things so I am prepared.

I have been trying to get some drawing in. If I do it first thing in the morning and give myself 20 minutes that works for me. LOL

Paint Party Friday 9/7

Hi Everyone!

It has been a tough week but there is always a bright side and I was given some brightness today. I was awarded a scholarship to attend two different classes at our Lane Community College for water color.  I am so excited about this. Most of you know that water color just eludes me and these two classes will help me get on the right track. Thank you to Jo the owner of our 

Art Supply Store here in Florence. 

I managed to get a painting and another leather piece made. With all of that I have decided to have my yard sale tomorrow. I have most everything priced and ready but am feeling like too much is on my plate to do this. LOL Oh well have to get it done.  A big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting

 Paint Party Friday.

Now for the art.

I am still trying to work with blues. I actually liked doing this one. I painted on some thick gesso and then scribbled through it before painting. I really like the effect. Hope you can see it in the photo.

16x20" gallery canvas. I started this painting to relax myself and it did. "Something to ease my mind".

I am very much liking these leather unicorn horns. I don't know how the photos show up for you but in real life they are quite striking.

 Last but not least is my finished bathroom. I painted the walls, ceiling, cabinets, and my favorite counter top. Husband made a shelf for me and we put in new faucet and plumbing.

I have had a few friends over to tell me the truth about my count top. Everyone loves it. Waiting for my landlord to come over to see it. Hope he loves it too. LOL

I painted the first coat with a brush to make the top have the feel of grain wood then I went for the design and topped it with 5 coast of Polyacrylic. It is awesome!

That is it for tonight. Wishing all of you a happy weekend.
