2012....

i  have been preoccupied for the whole of 2011.  i  plan to start blogging again at the first of 2012.  i miss posting.  my preoccupation has been looking at colleges for my daughter.
and facing "empty nest" emotions.

xmas tags...

my favorite:

Xmas paintover....

i have been hearing from some of my students.  seems christmas parties where you create tags or other pieces using the paintover technique is a popular hit.   anyone can do it and its fun.

minnie helvey from los angeles just sent me a few images from her party.
she said they used halloween hair spray together with martha stewart stencils.   apparently the hair spray dries fast, comes in lots of colors and is easy to use.  she bought her sprays from her local sallys beauty supply store.


adorable
and
fun.  fun.

i am followed by these faces....






 every time i go to paint a small canvas these faces appear.  i don't know who they are, but they are fun.  i create them by using my left hand (i'm right handed).

two birds abstract...

i like to cut loose and do an abstract.  i let the painting tell me where it was headed then i responded stroke by stroke.  plus a bit of collage.   i had been playing with new color combinations using better paints than my normal cheapest brand.

headlamp girl.......

i just thought she looked wistful and  sheepishly curious.  i wish i had a headlamp/candle/flashlight/star/halo/light bulb/aura/ headlight/fizzy/ firefly/ dentists' light/electrical or battery operated thingy for my head.  i mean, i wish i could wear this without being put away in a straight jacket and away to the rubber room.
i see it's time for me to get a new scanner - mine has become a bit unhinged (much like the owner) and therefore blurs my image. (lower lip curled down).
