Big Eyes
Here’s a sweet little mixed media girl I painted a few weeks ago. I have a few unfinished pieces on my table and now that I’m over the flu, I can’t wait to get back to painting.

A Bit of Color
A much more colorful piece of art to share with you today. I painted this last week while following a Paint Your Heart and Soul 2018 lesson by Mystelle Kirkeeng. You create a mixed media background and then find a face or picture in the paint. This is something I have always enjoyed doing with […]
My Little Bliss List – Drawlloween 4, 5, 6
My Little Bliss List (Remembering the things that made me happy this week, because it’s so easy to forget them.) A short little Bliss List tonight. The power went off today, as it tends to do when it rains here. It’s quite common. It gave me a chance to sit down and get a few […]
Mabs Drawlloween Club
October is filled with art challenges! One of the most popular is Inktober And then there is Drawlloween and all it’s spin offs, including ones by Jane Davenport and James Burke. I believe you have to be a member of their creative groups to access the prompts. The one I’m taking part in this year is […]
Painting From Another Inspiration Stack
Painting From Another Inspiration Stack I enjoyed painting from the inspiration stack, which I shared with you last week, so much, that I decided to do it again. I loved the words in the text piece of paper: “Waiting in the wings. Awash in feather she could easily be princess turned into swan”. […]

From My Word Bowl -10
From My Word Bowl – 10 Last week’s Life Book 2016 lesson with Tracy Verdugo taught me a new way to find inspiration to create with. She introduced me to “Inspiration Stacks”.

From My Word Bowl – 9
From My Word Bowl – 9 This week I drew two great phrases and the word, and, from my word bowl. The sketch I did, I didn’t really “fuss over”, except to add some watercolor to it. I think she looks a little surprised, by what I’m not sure, but I’m happy that the […]
Enchanted Visions – Eerie Encounter
I was instantly inspired by Enchanted Visions’ theme for October. Eerie Encounter. Isn’t it perfect for this month of Halloween? I love the definition of eerie. Definition of eerie: 1. inspiring inexplicable fear, dread or uneasiness; strange or frightening […]
Day of The Dead Happy Mail
Isn’t it nice when you see something in your mail that isn’t a bill or a piece of junk mail? I’m not talking about your email inbox. I’m talking about your good old, snail mail mailbox. I love to receive mail, that is why I belong to a “Happy Mail” group on Face Book. […]
Be Your Own Angel
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. […]
