Photograph a Day

Less is more.

Spring notes from the Sketch Pad

Namaste! Springtime is here at last! The length of daylight is ever increasing and my perennial plants are coming out of their dormant stage. The Song Birds are back serenading us with their beautiful chirps which is music to my ears. What an exciting time of year!  Inspiration for my Art is flowing like a river from every cell in my body and spilling out onto my sketch pad.

 

Lots of New Art to share with you...coming soon! Stay Tuned   :)

Abstract Art Project, Art Lesson

This Project is for persons 18 yrs or older!

Supplies needed:
8" x 10" or 9" x 12" Cardboard (or smaller)
crayons
metal spoon
black water based craft paint

First completely cover your cardboard with crayon. Think of an Abstract Design and lay the color on thick. Add a Rainbow of colors. Next, paint the entire work in black. Allow the paint several hours to dry. Next, using your spoon scrap off areas of the black paint. Careful not to remove your crayon color....we want that to show through. Think of an Abstract Design while scraping the black paint off......careful to not remove to much of the paint. ENJOY!

Day Nine:

Birds. Birds are a favorite subject matter of mine. This Painting is a work in progress. My first experiment using Cardboard as my painting surface. I built up the painting surface with cardboard as well to give it a 2D effect. The ground that I chose to use didn't work out very well, because it kept lifting up as I was applying paint. The image that you see is just a base coat of oil paint. However I was pleased to discover that oil paints dry very quickly on this surface. Now that this is dry I'm going to try and go back into it again. With any luck it will be easier to paint on. And my experimentation continues....

Pennsylvania Artist, Cat Artist, Bird Artist

My Newest Cat Art. Watercolor Still Life painting of a Woman and her Pet Cat. Anyone who has ever let a Cat take over their home knows how much a Cat brings to it. This Lady is obviously the Loyal Subject of her purring companion.

I'm a Pennsylvania Artist who loves to depict People with their Pets, as well as depicting People interacting with Wildlife. Perhaps it is the wild side of our pets that is appealing to us. By bonding with them we bond with Nature. Having a close encounter with Nature uplifts us Spiritually. I hope to capture that feeling in my Art.
