TUESDAYS TICKLES...

 taking you along,

just for now...

in my storytelling class.

but first;

some business cards I made

today from those

closet door paintings.

I'd like to give out these

custom ones the night of the

ART WALK ;)

I am going to make a lot more!

 

 

 

 

 these are some of my words I cut out to start

a first painting.

I realized today just how much of a storyteller I already am,

never thinking of it this way.

 

 

 

 

 this is a blob of black paint that I accidently dropped about 3 cards in while performing this card making task, so I left them out to dry and am going to use them...

JUST THIS WAY ;)

 

 

 

 

STORY TELLING

WORDS

THOUGHTS

I already have cups and boxes of them all over the joint, but today was a different exercise for inventing thoughts and story lines...

ergo...

I might just be dreaming of flying letters tonight!

 



THUNDER AND LIGHTENING on SATURDAY IN MARCH...

i am starting a new on line class Monday.

This is a book i made for this class.

i may add to it,

scribble on it,

load it down with more

paint and paper

as the class progresses.

or

it

may

remain

just

the

way

it is here ;)

 

The class is

"The Storyteller ~ Two"

with Robin Laws

 

in case you'd like to look it up.

FRIDAY'S PROGRESSION...

 this is just a portion

of a larger painting that

has

changed direction

in

more ways

than i can

count...

 

 

and i can't get the perfect colors to show up in a photo...

except this is the closest to me.

 

i had 2 successful cataract surgeries

and i can see SO much better now...

 

only having a bit of trouble focusing...

BUT...

i have not stopped painting...

i

CAN'T!



TINKERING TUESDAY...

 On a closet door hangs LARGE sheets of plain white paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 Each time I paint or make anything...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 i have left over paint and materials...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 this makes for a huge allotment

of...

 

 

 

 

large and small

pieces or sections

cut out

cut up

into

new pieces of

MIXED MEDIA ART ;)

 

i hope your Tuesday has been fruitful!

SOUL JOURNEY...

 SUNDAY JOURNALING

started out like this...

 

 

 

 POURED

OUT

OFF WHITE

high flow acrylics

 

 

 

 Poured

out

(my heart into this entire exploration after yesterday's circumstances;)

WHITE

high flow paint...

 

 

 

 I didn't intend for any of this to happen

but I am usually open to just about any change ;)

and here it was

LET

GO

LET

PEACE

IN

and then

OUT

for everyone else.
I used  turquoise high flow for the end ;)

I wish some kind of GOODNESS

for all my friends

on this Sun-Day

xoxo

FRIDAY'S OPPORTUNITIES...

 After some miscommunication today,

missing out on a big opportunity

for my art endeavors...

with lots of work...

first a yes,

then a

"sorry too late "phone call.

I lost a tooth

and I cried a wee bit.

and then I opened my art journal and painted...

 

 

 onward and upward I go...

 

 

 

 

 

flying higher...worse has happened that's for sure.

 

Happy Friday Friends
