CHARTREUSE...

It is a beautiful day today here in the northwest!  Chilly but Sunny...I can see the little tips of the daffodils popping their heads out to show off to the sun...seems they're as excited as I am to see the BIG YELLOW orb.  A favorite thing of mine in SPRINGTIME is all the NEW GREEN buds and leaves that are exploding...ahhh, that fabulous color chartreuse.  Sometimes the color is so bright it hurts your eyes.  I use a lot of this fun color in my work...it just makes me happy.  Today I want to share some wonderful things that SHOW OFF the sweet color of CHARTREUSE!

TANGERINE!

Well finally a color that I can get into!  I LOVE color!  This is 'THE" color of the year and I have done a lot of things in the past with this color, but now that I know it is the color of 2012...look out!  Here is a piece I created recently...with guess what?   TANGERINE is in the house!   See the CRAZY pattern on the shoes?  good ole tangerine!
ENJOY the COLOR in your life!

FEET FIRST...

Ready to plunge into the abyss...I've been trying to challenge myself creatively these days.  Like many artists it is oh so easy to take the fork in the road that we are used to going down...but I am going to go the route least traveled...for me that is.  
LIVING LIFE ON THE.....EDGE!

happy weekend creating!


 

LET IT SNOW!

It is trying it's best to give us some 'Snow Days'...love it if it would just snow us in for a few days...with nothing to do but, create, read, relax & think about what lies ahead for us in 2012.  My Reps just got back from the Atlanta Gift Show...they were talking to manufacturers about my designs.  I feel there are interesting things coming my way this year!  At the moment I'm working furiously on some New designs that I absolutely Love...as some of you know, it's not always the case that an artist 'loves' what they do, they see room for improvement, changes, a different approach...well, not this time.  I have been doing so many 'mock-ups' this past year for potnetial clients & working on a booth for the Licensing Show that I haven't had much time for just exploring...well, the time hit me a few days ago. 

The original idea came out from a recent sleepless night...you know we all have them...the clock is slowly ticking away, your mind won't shut off...in my case I start creating & coming up with ideas for me to do in the studio the next day.  I picked up my pencils...started to draw...first little sketch sprung onto the page...then the next...then another...and the next thing I knew I had come up with about 25 little quick sketches that made up a series.  Today I'm going to explore with techniques & mediums...unleash the beast!

Have a CREATIVE day!           DEIDRE

MONDAY SMONDAY...

This week I'm creating designs for drinkware...like glasses & mugs.  This is one of my artist series...I start out with old cardboard, gesso it a couple of times, not worrying about making it smooth, (I like texture) then after it dries I get out the brushes & sponges and so go town painting abstracts...I really love the freedom that this allows me.  I also love making a mess with paints!  Reminds me of being young & carefree!  Here's to 'being FREE'!

IT'S A NEW YEAR...

This is it...I feel ready to take a leap!  This past year has been a year of great creative growth for me....but the year ahead of me I'm sensing will be one of 'huge leaps'...

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

I adore this shot of christmas lights that look like sparkling water falling into the pond below. 

Spread the light!

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

HELLO KITTY CHRISTMAS TREE...now I've heard of everything!  But I do have to admit this is kinda cute!  Must be in some great mall in Japan.  Have a great hello kitty kind of day!                                                            DEIDRE  

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

This is a really FUN shot I  got a couple of years ago around the holidays when we had SNOW...what a hoot!  We don't get that fluffy white stuff often, so when  we do, the whole town kind of shuts down.  (Love that part...we get to...SLOW down for a bit)  LET IT SNOW! 
Could use a week of doing nothing...

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

CHRISTMAS RED...
How can you go wrong with this fabulous POP of color for the season?  Right now my kitchen and dining room are both RED...so I am always ready for the holidays. 
(My house is painted red too...guess I like the color!)
Do yourself a favor...buy something RED to wear for 2012...be BOLD!  STAND OUT!

A VIEW OF CHRISTMAS...

COLOR!

Love this picture...I think we could all use a bit more color in our lives.  I hope your week is filled with lots of it!
