Original art, tutorials, and more. One, former number cruncher's journey to find her own unique artistic style. I'm going to try it all and see what sticks!
This month, I was inspired by Claude Monet for my Inspiration From The GREATS project. I painted his waterlilies with acrylic paint. When I finished, I wanted to try it again with inks, so that's what I did in this piece.
I really enjoyed this style and am looking forward to trying it again. You could also use acrylic inks. Check out the acrylic painting piece that I did for Inspiration From The GREATS!
Today I'm creating a very colorful, abstract painting on watercolor paper. This is a very easy and fun way to start a painting. You don't have to stress over what you are going to do or how you are going to do......just play.
Oh boy......I really am rambling on this one! You may want to turn down the volume. I've been with my parents in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices or the past few weeks, so I've gotten on a jag about our bodies....our health....our body images issues, etc.
So watch at your own peril.....here we go.................

First, I'd like to apologize for missing two Mondays. I've had a crazy couple of weeks. My parents have been in and out of doctor's appointments and the hospital. Even though they are only in their 70's (so not super old yet LOL), I still feel it necessary to accompany them to their important appointments and, of course, when they're in the hospital.
On top of that, I have another art festival this weekend and have been trying to make some new art, get organized, packed, etc.
So today's video is actually a project that I did for Gel Press a couple month's ago for their blog. The video was never "public", so you might not have seen it. If you did already see it, I've also put another (very small) project video up on YouTube.
So here we go with the first one...........................
................and here's the second one................
I hope to get back on track next week. Thank you for your patience.
