redo..... {charmer}

i had been looking at some of the artists that inspire me and was overwhelmed with the need to get to the studio.....

monday night, i made it to the studio to try my hand with what had become a complete obsession in my head; now finally, out on paper.

it is a charmer.

here is a quick view video:

happy hump day.

for the birds....

less studio time is for the birds,.....this past weekend however, was more like finding my flock.....

totally reworking old paintings and finding my own wings...

happy thursday!

liberated!

i had been reworking a painting of mine, and trying so hard to salvage words that had been written when i made the first painting. i have worked, worked, and worked to get that painting to be something that i liked; and on sunday, i had had enough! i had a real pretty turquoise and painted directly over the words! i had no idea i was being so confined by the words....it was like an elephant had been lifted off my shoulders! it was so liberating! here is a sneak peak at the new painting. i instantly loved the it!

relaxing work

worked unfortunately every day this week, but, yesterday was bliss.

filled with music, coffee, paper, canvas, and the most deliciously colored paint. very successful day for me personally.

i had spied an ad for our local roller derby asking for submissions for artwork for their tshirts...i immediately whipped out two designs i really liked and got those drawn and painted up to send. took the photos this morning and sent it off...we will see...

i reworked a painting that was not taken by my gallery, and absolutely love it! it is amazing to me, how, a rework can do that...a lot of gesso, a great idea, and another layer of paint....poof- love!

and, i managed to do another sunset landscape i like...purple ground, with hints of greens and tourquois bleu peaking through, with an ominous sky setting for the day.
