Be Your Own Angel I was inspired to paint this angel by a Life Book 2016 lesson by Ivy Newport. It was suggested to make it a paint over of a ‘selfie’ to make it a self portrait. Obviously, I did not do a self portrait and my interpretation of the lesson is different. […]
From My Word Bowl 8 – A Work in Progress Hi everyone. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Sorry for being a day late with my word bowl words.. I had a few technical problems that had to be solved before I could post, but all is good now. I love this week’s […]
From My Word Bowl – 5 This week’s words inspired me to create two aceos. Two aceos because of “the two”. The words spirit and humble reminded me of the style and techniques taught in one of Life Book 2016’s lessons by Shiloh Sophia . I wasn’t in a painterly sort of mood, so […]
From My Word Bowl – Week 4 This week, the words from my word bowl worked very well together and I was instantly inspired to paint a thoughtful, gentle face. Instead of reaching for a blank canvas or piece of paper, I instead looked through my “terrible” art pile. This is a pile of […]
This week’s words pulled from my word bowl are: I decided to use them with a sketch I did this morning. I used watercolor, colored pencil and ink and the words. If the words from my word bowl inspire you to create something, please leave me a little […]
Well.. I had wanted to post two paintings today, but our power went out last night, cutting my art time down significantly! I am here with the painting I finished and I’m going to say, with my fingers crossed, I’ll have two paintings for you tomorrow. My eighth painting is this mixed media piece, inspired […]
Wisdom Sparkled by Tori Beveridge It reads “and as she breathed wisdom sparkled” Inspired by a Life Book 2015 lesson by Danielle Donaldson. Watercolor, acrylic and ink
This is a loose art journal page, because I wanted to do something a little larger than my journal allows. I’ve been doing quite a few small pieces lately and I wanted to stretch. I reached for a 9 x12 piece of mixed media paper. I didn’t know what I was going to do, except […]
After yesterday’s fumblings in watercolor, I went back into my comfort zone today with a mixed media piece. Found Heart by Tori Beveridge It started with doodling and finished with acrylic, watercolor pencils, Faber Castel Gel Sticks, rub ons, stamps and ink on 4×6 watercolor paper. Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 8
Imagine Possibility Mixed Media using watercolor, watercolor pencils, acrylic and ink on 4×6 140 lb cold press watercolor paper. (the photograph doesn’t do it justice.. it’s so much prettier with so many more layers of color and shading than you can see here) Thirty Paintings in 30 Days – Day 6
When I started this, I had no idea where I was going to go with it. First there was the heart on her dress, then another and another…. No matter how fragile you think you, or your heart are, don’t let those thoughts stop you from following your heart, your dreams. Be brave! Be daring! […]
