Inspired!!!

A few weeks ago Austin held a free museum day and I journeyed into the depths of traffic hell to visit a few.

I went to the Blanton

And the Bob Bullock

After this half day journey I came home inspired to work on the painting I've been working on since mothers day - the 5' x 4' one....

Last weekend I went camping on Mustang Island

And again I came back inspired to work on the massive canvas...

and this is where I am now. The colors are actually day glow and are more vibrant than the photo shows.

There are days that I want to call in sick at my real job and paint all day but unfortunately the paintings are not paying the bills.

:(

Painting really is my escape from the BS of everyday life and one day I will live on the beach and paint until I can't hold the brush any longer.

For now it will provide me with short respites from the drudgery of everyday life.

I will hold onto these moments and treasure them with my every breath for now because they are all I have that keeps my sanity in check.

Until I post again....

Life

It has been a long time again since I have been here

and even longer since I've picked up my brush and paints.

I wanted this blog to be about my blooming creativity

but find it is hard when life is kicking your ass all day.

I don't suppose it really matters,

its not like I have a million followers.

IF

you are out there

AND

you like my paintings

SAY

something nice

Please...

Inspiration comes from without and within...

I completed this painting of the water washing up on the beach. I hope you like it.

YES!!!

Just downloaded the Blogger app to my phone, I don't have any more excuses!

A Month Has Passed

It has been exactly one month today that I last visited here...

Really dedicated right?

haha

Its been even longer since I visited my DevianArt page:

http://poppacrylics.deviantart.com/

It was so long that I not only forgot my password...

I also forgot my login ID!!!

I am still working on my HUGE 4'x5' painting but when I've wanted something small and quick to do I have been working on the Producer Series.

The first one was in my last post and here is the second one:

I am in the process of working on the third one.

When it is complete I will be building a modern frame for them and of course I will share a pic with you

... my fans...

HAHA

It's Been Awhile - again....

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted here...

Life really got a hold of me [and not for the better this time].

I have done a lot of paintings since I was here the last time and they are posted below.

Again however, I have nothing to do with them, so if you see one you want and are willing to cover the cost of postage - I will send it to you.

Someone I follow on Instagram took a photo of a flower like this and I asked him if I could paint it. Needless to say he said yes and sent me his email to send it to him.

I sent it today - we'll see how he likes it.

[The photo is darker than it really is - it is much brighter and vibrant.]

I received this 4' x 5' canvas for mothers day - this one is still in the works.

I hope you enjoyed and please feel free to leave comments and follow - it may inspire me to update this page more often.

Busy Bee

I'm sorry I have not been here to entertain my followers.

There has not been much new going on in my world - I finally completed the wall mural:

And I have also created two artistic aprons:

As I said there has not been much going on here.

If I ever get the extra money I plan on making more aprons and women's T-shirts.

Well this hobby doesn't pay the bills so I must go get ready for work.
