Watercolor Pens

2009-11-06T21:46:00.004-07:00

Experimenting with Sai watercolor brush pens. A nice portable set for adding quick color to a sketch. Didn't blend real well but nonetheless fun to work with.

Lunch Bag Art

2009-10-31T21:53:00.012-06:00

While attending my son's Halloween party I spotted one of his old lunch bags, recycled/reused and now decorating a bulletin board in his classroom. I personalize their plain ol' brown lunch bags when they go on field trips.

Gypsy Girl

I took one of my sketches, drawn on a VAT tax receipt from EIRE, scanned it and added layers of digital collage. I then played with the effects of those layers.

I voted!

Vote, it matters.

New meaning to in-house designer, at least my hubby thinks so. My latest piece designed for his run for council. Please get out and vote!

Changing Color

2009-10-14T20:36:00.001-06:00

Our first year at growing pumpkins (jack-o-lanterns) yielded 11 pumpkins. Our recent snow and freezing drizzle didn't help, the vines died off and left us with rather greenish pumpkins. Our largest weighed in at 15.4 pounds, 33" circumference. We'll try again next year.

Feel Good

I was able to put in two hours of feel good painting today.

Enjoying the view...

2009-10-07T20:54:00.008-06:00

Happy with how my whimsical windows are coming along.

I know, this project isn't exactly moving at lightning speed but as I complete freelance projects, which have priority, I'll dedicate more time to this triptych.

I hope to have it completed in 2009 and donning our walls.

Fall is here. My favorite season.

A bit of a climb with wind added.

On the dunes at dusk.

Celebrating his birthday.

Might as well jump.

Pristine dunes.

Our morning view.

Fall in Colorado's Great Sand Dunes is nothing but spectacular. We woke up to snow capped peaks this morning and fresh bear tracks.

Lawn Art

2009-08-27T20:07:00.016-06:00

As I went to our backyard to water the pumpkins I stumbled upon this little piece of art lying on our hillside. Was it a love note left by my hubby? Maybe it was pointing me to the new pumpkin that was growing? Humph.

Turns out our son Max and his cousin built it as a storage unit for small berry-sized weapons. Impressive and creative little imaginations at work, I t'ink.

He also set up this photo shoot. Throwing in a bit of grass while I snapped the picture and his idea to get in the photo and pose upside down.
