Week 25: Unfinished Business

This week's painting is from a vintage black and white photo I found online.  I loved imagining what the picture would have looked like if it were in colour and this is what I came up with.





I want to really get this painting right, so I am going to keep going with into next week and also catch up with some of my crafting, as I have a few shows coming up.

Next week will be catching up...

So until next week...

Week 24: HOLY SHIT!!

Did you know that I could paint cats?!?!
 

 
Because I didn't!

I painted this as a gift for my mom. It was her birthday this past Monday and this is her cat that recently past away.
Not really my ball of wax, but she seemed to really like it.

I really enjoy having my painting finished before Sunday.  It really frees up my Sunday to loaf about...hehe!

Until next week...

Week 23: Being Lazy

I was feeling really lazy this week so I painted this in less than 4 hours tonight.  Sorry that it kinda sucks...  It's more yellow than I thought, but the light in my living room isn't the best.  I did have fun with it though.

Next week will be better!

Here are 2 shots of the painting.  One with flash and one without.





Until next week..

Week 22: A Gift for my Little One

Who I guess is not so little.  He turned 7 today.  

So today we had a pirate themed party for him.  I made the kids treasure maps to follow and when they finally got to the treasure there was a dragon waiting for them!  It was so much fun!  I really grabbed some great shots so i thought I would share...









 Snapped this pic of my dog Seamus catching bubbles or just hanging out...I cant remember


I love the last 2 photos!  Very Lord of the Flies meets the Little Rascals.  I especially love the one with the head of the dragon they slayed.
 

And also I found the charger for my camera, so YAHOO!!

I wanted to paint my fella a little something fun and this is was what I came up with.  He original asked me to paint a picture of himself holding up an Iron Sheik action figure and someday I may very well do that, but come on buddy I only have a week!



Anyway, I had fun with it And he loved it.  I'm so glad this is not my style.  It's too meticulous and time consuming.  I like scribbles and soft edges...hahaha

Until next week!

Oh and don't forget next Friday is the James St. N. 
ART CRAWL!!

I'm going to be there with my gal pal and you should be to!
