NEW...

RISKING...
here it is...
something that I've been
messing around with...

collage...
black & white papers...
glue...
canvas...
I think this is a interesting start.

WORD FOR THE DAY!

B O L D !

Out snapping pics today...
and this BIG,

BOLD
,

COLORFUL
Sunflower
was teasing me to take it's pic!

Looking at it reminds me to take...

RISKS
,

ADVENTURES,

& try the untried
in my creative work.
I am taking that advice...

my new creative is going to be all those things.
I'm so excited at the prospect of doing something...

NEW,
UNEXPECTED
,
& maybe I might even use a paintbrush.

SPUNK!

WORD FOR THE DAY!

Went over to a friends home this afternoon...
spent some time floating around in her pool...
talking about anything & everything~
she is truly one-of-a-kind...a very special woman...
...made me think of this little art piece I did a couple of years ago.

CHEERS to being YOURSELF!
BE ORIGINAL.
HUGS to JUDY!
ps...another little ditty I did...it's a 2"x2" wall hanging.
I call them Captured Quotes!

Is that FALL I hear?

I'm feeling like FALL is in the air...& I've got to say I am so very ready for that.
Today I was thinking of some sunflowers that we saw over the weekend...
& this piece of ART popped into my head.

Playing
around with COREL DRAW again...

wish I was more skilled with it, but, alas I am but a NEWBIE with computer art...
but I'm having FUN & isn't that what it should be ALL about!

WORD FOR THE DAY!


GIGGLE!!!
I'm just looking thru some art mags to get some inspiration...
I have a question?
What is it with all the 'Dunce' caps
on people in so many many collage pieces?
I guess I'm not quite in the loop with that one?
Maybe I should try to draw one of my ladies with one on their head?
or maybe not.
Off to draw...or maybe even journal today.

Here's to creating!

p.s. this is one of my wee little abstract/collage pieces...it measures 2'x2"...

AUGUST 5th...

WOW! could not resist the color in front of me!

Just got back from vacation...ahhh, very nice to get away, but I love getting back to my Studio.
Before I left I sent off about a dozen designs for a New Company that has licensed me to do cards for them! Can't wait to see them...had a great time working with them & a writer...very talented lady named...Nanette Stine. Thanks to her, this was Not a difficult venture.
I'm now working on some designs for another company...they will use my art to put thru a machine for crafters to cut...kinda like puzzles of my illustrations, for the paper cratfing industry.
Having a fun time! ...so lucky to get to be in my little sweet studio!
Ciao...DEIDRE
