Green With Envy

I just realized I did not add my latest painting in my last blog!

5 Paintings and I only showed 4?

Here it is, enjoy:

FIVE

So far this year I have created five masterpieces

!!!! LMAO !!!!

Okay, five paintings; problem is I do not have a clue what to do with them!

Not to mention I am having serious storage/organizational issues with the canvases and my supplies. I just don't know what to with all of it!

+My brushes are in a clay pot that my son painted for me one year for mothers day. 

+Paints are in clear storage boxes with lids [but I cannot close them they're overflowing]. :\

+Stretched canvases are leaning against a wall. :/

+Canvas paper paintings are closed inside a large canvas paper binder with a rubber band holding it closed. :\

Its just an organized mess that is driving me nuts!!!!

I am open to any and all suggestions you may have....

HELP!!!

Squiggly Doodle Art

As a child we all drew pictures and colored.

I could draw Beetle Bailey, BC, cars and animals

Not that great but I could do it.

But my favorite thing to draw was something I now fondly call

Squiggly Doodle Art!

I'd take a black crayon and draw a continuous squiggly line all over a sheet of paper then proceed to color in the spaces with all of my 64 Crayolas! I'd even make my own green by using yellow then coloring over it with blue!

It was so fun and relaxing.

You see, drawing/crafting/art has always  given me peace of mind.

So last weekend something brought this art form to mind and I have been working on a painting like it.

All I will say is that even though the colors are much easier in acrylics to blend than they are with crayons, this has been a tough painting! I still have the final touch up to complete and then she is going up on my DevianArt page for sale as prints.

That is how much I love it!

All of my friends on Facebook that have commented on the picture are saying how just looking at it made them smile. That is how it makes me feel!

My mom said:

"You drew one just like that when you were 4. Love ya."

[That made me smile again!]

Here is a snapshot of the painting so far, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

:)

Its only a 9" x 12" but I really want to do a huge 4' x 5'




Here it is completed:

Surfs Up

It only took me about 3 days of total time to complete this painting and I believe its one of my favorites.

I do not remember if I mentioned it in my last post or not but I have recently opened a DeviantArt page and I love it so far. I have fellow artists who are following my page and watching for my future posts.

I almost feel like it is better than the praise I have received on FB and definitely on Twitter.

I don't mean to sound ungrateful to my friends on those pages but they...

well to be honest they seem to not want to see my work anymore...

well one "friend" in particular...

So what anyway:::

Darned Real Life Got Ahold of Me!

Someone reminded me today that I have not been on here in a long time....

Not that it matters, no one is watching anyway.

I have been very busy through the holiday season working in my real job - ick!

I have found time to paint though and will attach some photos below.

Tonight I set up an account on DeviantART.com, go check me out:
