The New Stuff

I have a few new things to post...very bad scans, however, so keep that in mind when viewing these pictures. I think I would've done better to just take photos of these paintings...that would've been better than these awful scans. There are LINES running through my paintings where the paper is uneven! Well, that's the beauty of mixed media, I guess. It's a very inexact science. Nothing will ever be perfect. There is perfection in its imperfection.

As a matter of fact, in the first scan, The girl with two different colored eyes...I added some black paint to one of her eyes and I didn't like it, so I tried to wipe it off, and look! It made it look like she's crying! So cool. I love it.



The second girl with the blond hair came out the best. Best proportions, best eyes (which I'm no good at)...she looks like a princess.



And the third is an attempt to add paintings to my Moleskine journal...and I added a made-up poem using random words on scraps of paper I drew from an old salt cellar my mom gave me. What I really love in that painting is the cloud. I will go back to that cloud again.



Well, that's about all that's new around here. I continue to make fabric flowers...I even sold a couple. They really MAY go up on Etsy, if I have the time....this will probably be when my Mother-in Law leaves.

I also found out I have 2 more travel blogs coming up...one in August/September and one toward the beginning of the New Year. The first one is Stateside and the second one will be International. Looking forward to that.

Enjoy your Mother's Day...TTFN.
