A HAPPY AND CONTENTED SUNDAY IN JANUARY...

 She called from
the gallery and said,
you sold another piece, Wanda.
smiling




 Then she said,
'where are some cards, where is a bio, 
people want to see you and more of your
work! Get on it sister!'

Today I started making my cards 
rather than order on line.
A lot more fun!

Thank you Chris Magisano




 I have been so busy
I really thought that
I would not get around to 
finishing
ANY
new paintings...
Well, I'll be!!
I did!
This one who's title shall be;
"A POOR MAN'S SUNLIGHT AND LANDSCAPE"
(it's a secret as to this title)








 Close up
of the above painting.




 The second mixed media,
finished!
Sitting in the sunshine to dry.
Reads;
"DANCING WITH LIGHT AND RHYTHM" 




Sometimes...
we could take our 
paint pallets and mount
them on a substrate
and they would stand
alone!
(but this one was on glass)

Smiling large today!

PRACTICE IN JANUARY...

 FW INKS
rule!
But then,
so do deli paper prints,
 that 
someone saves every ounce
to paint on!
smile

"she planted her own crops one year"
When framed 
you might notice her little house up there,
in the right hand corner?






 
absolutely 
LOVE 
how acrylic paint
goes down on really old papers.
I do!
I see 2 barns or out buildings 
emerging on the left.
It's going to be a 
'bear' 
when I get ready to frame it.





 Yup...
left over paints from this mornings
practice.




Painting
over
a
ripped up hand knitted something 
I did long ago...
Where will this take me...
who knows, 
I love guessing and 
EXPERIMENTING!

SMILE BIG

IT'S ALREADY A JANUARY...

 I finished 3 paintings today!




 And the words...
Easily in this quiet I come to stay...
smiling




 Not every canvas calls
for writing on the sides...
THIS ONE DID!

Materials:
Acrylic paints
Painted deli paper
Fabulous Posca pen for the writing
8"x8"x2" canvas
Old torn music sheets
Soft gel matte medium sealed
(lots of coats to give it a waxy look)

Ready to hang

HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ 2019 with some completed art work in hand...

With ink and fountain pen,
the writings read:
'come bend the day with me'
and
'underneath the layer that has become the surface on which we live our lives' 

It feels
so
GOOD 
to have finished
these 
two 
pieces!




With fountain pen and ink:
"when the soul takes flight with the music"

 I almost always
have pieces
of work
drying
or waiting
to be
done.



"when the soul takes flight with the music"
(not my quote)

I have been working for years now to get to this point
on these works, where my intentions have been.
Over and over, but never quite right.
Last month, I knew I was 'getting there'.
Little did I know i'd complete them on
JANUARY 1, 2019

SMILING

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS

(if anyone would like to know what techniques or exactly what the materials are, ever, simply ask. I adore sharing all information!)
