Just another Manic Monday

Ok, so its not really Monday! The kids have been off of school so much due to the extremely cold temps. It makes it tough for art making time. However, I did sneak away for 2 hours to the studio this Monday and here is the result! The one with the chicken-birds is titled "You want to do the chicken dance with me?" The one that says "Good" is a partially finished xmas card sample. The other two photos are of my naughty studio assistant. Enjoy the art! Amy

Closed on Mondays? That's when artists make the art!

Here's my yesterday's art, enjoy! As I cropped these images I now see it would have been stronger to add legs on "Handsome Man" holding the laundry basket. The other man making cookies? He falls under a long ago theme I started called "Prince Charming". A request to whomever sees this post, send a little positive energy my way. I am meeting with somebody who works in the stationery industry today and hope it is a catalyst for me to understand how to sync up my art with the right opportunities for me. Have a good week, I'll post more early next week.

Ink Parade, in this cold weather???

Its chilly here and my studio isn't warming up, coat, gloves on for the first two hours I was here. Youch! The temp is 0 degrees but it feels like -20 with the wind. Holy cow, this is January weather! Ok, on to something warmer and more delightful, art! Have a good week and those in MN, stay warm! Amy

Monday's art share

Hello Everybody! Here are some images I created. Enjoy them and stay away from judgment, especially of these images! The first one is called "Casting a spell" and was created using the lemon juice wash, that's where it got that great texture. The second image is inspired by some judgment thrown my way. While I'm good with that and can see it for what it is, I couldn't help writing a victim statement alongside the image! That made me laugh and made it even more alright!

I'm back! Here are some inks from last week and a new technique!

I had a salad at the studio with a lemon wedge that I brought for lunch. I decided to put lemon drops on the page and then lay the ink. It released the ink!!!! So this week I am going to try painting with the lemon juice and then lay ink on the page for a release effect. (This is the dot image) I also made a bunch of funny and roughly sketched characters. Here is a Scottish Man with a golf club arm? You decide!

Incoming ART!

Some new Peace Is Abundant artwork. These are 10x20" images.

Some weeks are just like this....

So this week I did a lot of clean up and documenting work at the studio. While its not as fun, its got to get done! So my offering this week is one I shared last week but its colored. Enjoy it! "Puppy Love"
