Warhol and Lichtenstein

Curiouser and Curiouser...After downloading pics I took from my trip to MOMA in NYC, I saw that Warhol's famous "Soup Can" print is reflected in this Lichtenstein print.

Pan Pastel Play

This is Kaila! She is my little Yorkie mix who is a lover, but very mischievious! I sketched this from this photo:

She is showing off her new collar from the Etsy store, Pinky's Pet Gear.

(Just went there to get the link, now I have to go back and order a spring collar!)

I used my new purchase of pan pastels which I had never used before.  I loved how they blended so easily.  

Seeded and Watered

Layered paint background, fabric flower, stitched border.

Adding color to the face, and was finally able to use my pencil lengthener which I have had forever~

The Quin Magenta on the dress ended up looking cool with the background colors showing through~

Strathmore Journaling Workshop: Sounds I LOVE

March 1st begins my new workshop.  Our pre-workshop homework is to list all the sounds we love.  Here are mine:

My grandson's laughter, thunder and rain, waves crashing on a beach, a harmony of voices, guitars that sing, a nostalgic song, my children singing when they don't know I can hear them, the words, I love you, the first birds of spring, the winds working their way across our multitude of trees, no sounds after a day of non-stop noise

Art Studio Makeover or Under...

Time to organize and see what I actually have! Books to alter, books for ephemera, books to read, books just because I like the covers!

Jar of Hearts

Work in progress, the jar of hearts is starting to take shape.

Spring Beauty

The air is cool with the sweet breeze as the sun shines to make it the most beautiful day.

Stained Glass

This piece was done during one of our Second Saturday Art group gatherings. Created out of an image I doodle frequently, I enjoyed playing with the variety of glass pieces to give her depth.

Catchin' Up/ Rock and Roll

Since I was scanning already, I decided to add some pics of past pieces I had done. This first one was for the Rock and Roll Exhibit at the Dover Art League.

Liberte's Wine Labels

Ignorant Indifferance and Honest Heart

This is the Free Choice round for the Vices and Virtues Round Robin. After thinking about lots of things going on around me, I came up with the this theme. I hadn't used any encaustics for a while, so I played around with them and enjoyed the process.

Pride and Humility

Inspired by my son's first dance, I created this piece for the Vice and Virtues Pride and Humility theme. Created with watercolors, one side of the spread portrays Bryan as a baby in my arms and the second is him today as I was teaching him how to dance.

Temperance and Gluttony

This theme was much more difficult for me to create. I wanted to do something different and finally became inspired. It seems that both gluttony and temperance are rooted in money, hence the torn dollar bill representing the roots.

Digital Deck

This is one of the After pics from the Digital Deck. The final one had a couple of more tweaks to it.

Liberte Postage Stamp/Digital Deck BEFORE

Liberte has been born. I have been invited into the Recollection Parlor. This artistic group will be creating a country from their own inner minds. This was the first project. This also became the BEFORE piece for the Digital Deck hosted by Red Scott of Travelers Hart.
