HOME HOME HOME BEAUTIFUL HOME

 Finally painted today,
finishing a journal page I started,
 
 
 
 
 
 before leaving for Panama ;)
 
 
 
 
 swayed by the colors there
 
 
 
 
 
 this is the start of the page right next to the other
 
 
 
 
 
 faces on my mind,
 
ALSO
i left the words exposed,
"half baked idea"
yeah...just can't live without humor
;)))
 
 
 but they are not Panamanian ;)
 
 
 
 
Photo Shop bus we road for 4 hours and still,
not arriving to our final destination...
 
we are tuckered out to say the least,
and
have
NEVER
been
so HAPPY
to
be
HOME

DANCE ME TO THE END OF JULY...

THANK YOU,
 
ANITA (castles and crowns blog)
CONNY (Pia Rom)
LISA Di Nunzio

FUZZIE FINGERS
SUE MARRAZZO!
For your good
SUMMER VIBRATIONS...
 
 
JULY has been good to us <3 p="">
i am just popping in to wish everyone of you a continued
wonder~filled summer...
or
the season you may be in at this time all over the world ;)
 
 
 
 in between summer projects...
here are two smaller pieces
 
 
 
 
a little fabric swatch in the upper left hand corner...
 
 
 
We take off the 22nd of July for
Santa Catalina, Panama
 
my sister Candy, husband Richard, and i, meeting Mike my husband's brother who lives in this part of the country.
 
it has always been adventurous, as this is not a pre-paid packaged deal.
And it is always surprising and interesting; meeting people from all over the world, hanging with the village people when we reach Catalina in finality.
 
Body surfing, fishing, and beach combing are at the top of the list.
 
My sister and i will be making "beachy" creations and i'll try to throw in a little painting here and there...we shall see...it's all part of the UN~PLANNED.. my MAINSTAY in life!
 
No phones, radios, internet...just hammocks, fresh fish and one another!
 
We mainly WALK everywhere...destinations are all close in proximity.
we will have at least ONE exciting/interesting tale to tell upon meeting you next...that's been an absolute "GIVEN" every time.
 
ENJOY THE SUN
HAVE FUN
XOXO

A NEW CLASS

 Taking a class with Kellie Day
This was my first finished canvas, an 20" x 20" x2" Gallery Wrapped
 
 
 
 
 
 the next ones are close ups of the first finished product...
 
 
 
 





 I collage over the entire canvas...
 
 
 
 
 before painting again...
this was grueling at times..
all the text and photos I had chosen...
yep
all covered up
 
 
 
 
 These...
are close up of my new orange...
 
 
 
 
 I really don't like doing the same thing the teacher shows,
but I want so much to LEARN
first hand...then take off on my own ;)



























ORANGE you glad I didn't post ONE MORE ORANGE ;)
 
 
You can a imagine that I am learning more
GOOD STUFF!
 
And adding...Blogger would not let me enlarge any of these...
there's always somthin'!
BUT...I just realized...
YOU MAY ENLARGE THEM!
 
HAPPY SUMMER DAYS FRIENDS
 
XOXO

AFTER THE ARTWALK...

 
 I started a section in my Pinterest...
with
simple
yes,
COLLAGE!
cutting up my left over paint papers
and paint...
it's been so long...
the photo at the very bottom was supposed to be here at the top ;)
I don't know how to correct this,
except to start all over completely...
nope, here it is and I hope you enjoy your
perusing.
THANK YOU FOR VISTIING ;)
 
 
 and who knows how long
it will be until
I do this again?
 
 
 
 
 
 Even I don't know!
my moods
are many ;)
 
 
 
 
 
 My sister Candy gave us a milk can...
I found a perfect bouquet for it!
 
 
 
 
 
 the moon the other night...
looked so "other worldly".
There were trees above and below it
and I thought I might be able to capture that...
but it was so pitch black...
it took a form such as this!
 
 
 
 
 
 I am back in my journals...
 
 
 
 
 
and taking another art class for 12 more days!
 
and finishing up an 16" x 20" canvas painting...
 
'tis the season for FLOWERS
in ABUNDANCE ;)

AUBURN ART WALK JUNE 2015

 I chose this to show you first...
Shawna's Beauty Salon...
is not just THAT!
it's a WONDROUS smallish space,
with CREATIVITY and
ART WORK everywhere!
This is a portion of one of DeAnna's
FRAMED mirrors, (full length they are.
They are at every station, as are my new girlie staves
for the art walk and the next 2 months.
 
 
 
 
 




















 my humorous paintings,
grouped together,
next to the hair driers ;))
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 our home has been turned up side down and then some,
as we readied for the art walk,
organizing, making it look like we live in renovation style,
all the live long day!
But hey, my paintings match our grey bench,
and grey and white pillows ;))
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 We'll have this out on the sidewalk,
offering tid bits for a small price...
they are affirmation boards, little angel hangers, cardboard sundries, etcetera )
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 more topsy turvy no mas!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BEFORE the sun went down one day,
after a short duration of THUNDER, LIGHTENING, and a TEENSY spot of rain!
GLORIOUS!
 
I wish you all could come visit at the art walk,
have a good time,
drink some wine and LAUGH with me!
I truly do!

JUNE days...

 JUNE
WINDOW
change ;)
 
 
 
 
 2 more months
and we'll
be here ;)
 
 
 
 
 Little Savannah
and my sister Carolyn ;)
 
 
 
 
 
 another June
with my
beautiful sister
Cookie
 
 
 
 
 
 after a dip
in my swimming hole today
I stayed wet
and
painted
her up in our
HOT studio ;)
 
 
 
 
 yesterday
I
taught
my nephew Chad
how to make
a
pie crust!
it was a very FUN and SPECIAL
day
with him! ;)
 
 
 
 
 
if you can't tell...
that is my face
that my husband
put on the box
our doughboy pool
came in.
he had it sitting in a chair one morning
and I laughed till I cried!
he said;
"I am telling our family that these are the people wanda swims with every summer"
the day before this he mentioned that the boxes had the same people on them
every summer, and that they just switched them around"
well now they really HAVE CHANGED!
I hope you laugh...man, the family has!
 
HAPPY JUNE
XOXOX
