Have you ever had a dog do this? This is my entry for this week's Illustration Friday theme of "excess".
This silly doggie got into the dog treats when his mama and daddy went out to go shopping. He's stuffed! Will he finish the rest of the bag before they get home?
The darling Susan from SWEET IMAGINATIONS sent me an award today! Yippee!!! It's the "you make me smile" award. Now I will pass this award on to two bloggers who put a smile on my face.
Do you remember when you were young and being blissful was put into everything you did? My newest painting is a celebration of youth. I have some footage of myself and a friend skating when we were 8 years old. I have made a new video showing this footage along with the process of my newest painting. I remember that day. Skating and falling down and laughing. You want to know something? I never remember feeling cold.
"Skating Blissfully" is at auction right now HERE.
I would also like to mention that the lovely headband I am wearing was made by RAIMBOW TREE on etsy! She is such a sweet creative girl!
Hi sweets! I haven't had a lot of time lately. Sorry! But tomorrow I should have a brand new video for you. It will have footage of me when I was 8 years old :)
I take my vitamins do you? Well, I only take Vitamin B Complex, Calcium and Magnesium, Vitamin D and Vitamin C. I also *sometimes* take my Omega 3 capsules. I was just watching a show on t.v. and an Animal Dotor said it was okay to give pets Omega Capsules once in a while. Sooooooo I pierced a capsule open and put some of it on my finger and tried getting Opie and Lily to lick it off. They weren't interested. They got a little on their mouths, and now they can't stop cleaning their faces! I don't blame them! This stuff smells like fish! STINKY!
My entry is the old superstition of a black cat crossing your path. It is supposed to be bad luck. BUT I THINK it is GOOD luck because cats are so wonderful and I could never see them as being bad luck.
Today it snowed. Not a lot...but enough to let you know that winter is coming.
At the start of every summer, I buy flowers and plant them in flower boxes out on my balcony. As fall arrives, I feel bad about letting the flowers die. I would bring them inside if I could, but the cats would eat them and get sick...so I have to leave the flowers out there all winter. It upsets me. Do flowers have feellings? I really hope not.
This new painting is about winter coming and bringing in the flowers....something I wish I could do.
I think I bit off more than I can chew with this video! It was hard to fit everything in! It is 10 minutes long, but you get the whole "from start to finish" instructions on how to make you own little hard cover book. You can then turn it into a little wee journal! SO CUTE! If you have any questions, please feel free to post them. I know I may have skimmed over somethings that may need more detail.
P.S. I swear I don't sound this nerdy in my day to day life.....at least I HOPE I don't!
Sorry you haven't heard from me in a couple of days. I've been super busy! Little Opie on the other hand, has been enjoying cuddling up under the covers keeping cozy. The tempurature has really dropped the last couple of days and it is actually starting to feel like winter out there! BRRRRR! Time to get out the mittens.
My newest painting incorporates tonal shading as well as very flat color. I like the way the flat color gives the painting more of a silk screen or perhaps, comic book feel.
