New Art

Here is a new collage painting. I really like this one!

And here is a folk art angel painting on a paper mache box. I gave this to my niece for her birthday. Birthdays are wonderful aren't they?

Three new paintings listed on ebay!

(Well, this one isn't quite new. I already listed it on Etsy. After I put it on Ebay, I remembered I had listed it on Etsy and had to quickly take it off. Oh, the life of an artist!)




Here are three new paintings listed on Ebay today. Let me know which is your favorite!

Here's my new art video - painting folk art angels

Well friends, I am having a great time making these videos. I love watching them back even - I'm a little obsessed. You know, the summer has been a good one so far. I think that when you have time that you usually don't have - I am not teaching for the summer - that sometimes you squander it. I am trying not to do that. I am trying to do something for my family each day that counts, and some art each day, and I'm trying to get some exercise in. But I must say, I was up way too late last night posting this video. My computer takes too long! Well, happy viewing!

I tried in this video to show how I draw the faces. I haven't really showed that in other videos and I love the process. It is like how I image God creates, (on a very different scale of course) but in a way, it reminds me of that. When I begin to draw a face, the face takes on its own life. The girl or angel, or whoever I am drawing, becomes a personality for me. I love to watch it unfold. It happens without any planning on my part. I draw and draw and draw. I fill up sketchbook after sketchbook and there is never a face that is the same. It is like that with human beings. We are all God's children and we are all unique. What is amazing is that He knows us and that He loves us each one.

Sing To The Top of Your Lungs!

Here is a video that shows me painting my newest favorite mixed media collage painting!

An angel!

This angel turned out, yay! The other one is still in my studio, looking at me with a sad expression because I deserted her. I will have to work on her and let you see the result, once I'm happy with it. I hope she doesn't turn into one of the ones I paint over!!

I really like the peacefulness of this one. I wondered if I should change the lettering to be more serious, like a cursive type. What do you think?
