experiment

Another little experiment playing with watercolor collage and paint chips.

collage experiment

Playing with watercolor, collage and paint chips tonight. Wish the lighting was better, sorry about that.

This is what happens when you are sleeping so soundly you fall out of your bed. And yes that is the really crappy window sill in my office, I took out the trim to put new trim in and have not done it yet.

A few months ago I bought myself a new trim saw and I'm going to de-do all the trim in my house. Eventually.

Well I am going to have to get myself motivated because son #2 is coming home in less than nine months and I want EVERYTHING done around here.

Since this is my work space you can see why I always say my medium is watercolor etc. and a liberal sprinkling of cat hair.

porcelain

More of the beautiful pieces from Pat.
Nearly paper thin porcelain and lusterware too.....makes my heart beat a little faster.

Beautiful

Just the other day a friend called and asked if I would like to have some of her china pieces and plates. HOLY COW!!!!
Darn right I'd like it!
These are beautiful things and I will love and cherish them.
So here is a photo of some of the most charming ones.

Whoo Hoo! Love these!

Thanks Pat, yer the best.


P.S. Violets are my favorite flower, and nothing smells sweeter than a cluster of half-wilted violets clutched in a small childs hand.

New Prints for Etsy shop

Here is a group of new large prints for the Etsy shop.

There is a Etsy link to the right side of this page.

Hope you all enjoy these.

Thanks!!!

Robins egg blue

Wonder how many butt-hours this seat has seen.

This is the most wonderful color.

Love this color. We have all seen the ubiquitous green ones (tractors) but robins-egg blue? Fabulous. Wish the sun had been shining on it. The color would have been even better.

Hmm. Maybe I should paint this.

This is the painting I am supposed to be working on today and have been too lazy to do anything. Sigh.


Alex took the reference photo for me when he was in Brazil.
Perhaps this painting should be named "Ode to a Brazilian Mamma".


And this is the little stinker on my desk and sometimes I wish she would move so I could actually have some room on said desk. Sigh.

As I sit here in my office there is a cat on my desk, three dogs at my feet, a bird on her perch and a toothless cat staring at me 'cause I have not given him his soft food yet.

Again, Sigh.
