Yesterday's Project

Afternoon everyone,

For those of you who have not read my bio,
I am an artist. My medium of choice is
oils. I also do lots of other crafts (this
would be the reason why my craft
room is over flowing) and I am a part
time photographer. With that said I
also have a full time job.

I have not been doing a lot of painting
lately, the last thing I painted was my
Christmas card this past year and that
was the first thing I had done since last
January. So it was high time to get in
that room and get busy.


my Christmas Card

The other day I ran across some pictures
that I wanted to paint just to be painting
them. Now mind you, I have one that my
niece has asked me to do, one that my
nephew has asked me to do and one that
would be a commission piece but I wanted
to paint for me. I have no clue what I will
do with them, I will probably not hang them
for myself, but I wanted to paint….for
myself. Does that make sense? I wanted
to just have fun with it and do something fun.

I thought I would do a series of a sorts,
My Woman Series! So yesterday I set out
to start that and since I am doing 8x10’s,
and since they are basic simple paintings
I was able to produce two of them yesterday
for a total of four that I plan on doing. The
other two will be a follows, a purse and a
pair of high heel shoes.

Take a look and let me know what you think.





Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

Oh, I love those! And the purse and shoes will be perfect additions; what a cute set! You ought to do what Kay (???last name, help me out here...) did with the glassware, and find a way to screen those onto glasses (or the four of them onto a cute shirt!). And hey... can I get on your Christmas card list so I can get one of those gorgeous cards? Just sayin'.....

Hi -- I love your Woman Series! I wish I had the courage to take up painting ... and the talent, too.
I LOVE the scent of oil paints.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Birds in the Yard

Image
 Hello friends. This morning Dakota and I sat out on the deck, it was a nice 71 cool degrees after a night of storms and rain. The birds were singing and flying around and it was so peaceful. In the pic above I am standing on the deck looking into my Crepe Myrtle at the bird house I hung a couple months ago. I had been sitting there listening to this one bird that I was not sure what it was and was not sure where it was coming from. Then I saw her, on the branch next to the bird house and she was loud! She would speak out and another bird, same talk as her would speak up from in the trees on the creek. I then realized where that noise was coming from....her and him. Then I realized why. She flew from branch to branch checking things out before flying onto the bird house. And then I realized I heard babies too. I watched him and her do this for a long time. Such a pleasure. Here is mom. Waiting, looking and c...

The Printing Tray / The Free Art Drop and String Art

Image
When I was 16 I went to work at  a small family owned printing business.  I guess it got in my system. When I went back to school after that summer, I was going into the 11th grade I signed up for a printing/Graphic Arts class. I learned to set type the old fashion way, worked in the dark room,  learned to operate the camera, and I learned to run a press.  I always heard that once you have printing ink on you, it's in the blood. It must have been  cause I went back into that class, actually taking two classes of it for my 12th grade year.  From there, I went to work for the state of  Tennessee in their printing division for  21 yrs.  Years ago while still in school I picked up a printing tray, this is where metal type is stored, the old fashion way of typesetting.  I filled it with miniature items. At some point in my married life I got rid of that  tray but years later only to ...
