2 More



I did these 2 paintings mostly using "nupastels" by prismacolor... they are fun to use...i drew them on re-purposed materials..... one is a piece of scrap wood and the other is a "food" box that i stuffed and then covered it with collaged papers before i drew on it....

Out My Kitchen Door


This is the scene out my kitchen door .... in the summer you look at my herb garden and the flowers that bloom every spring, summer and fall......the snow is beautiful , but 14 inches of it keeps us here on the mountain.....if i were an organized person i could get soooo much accomplished while we are stuck.....and even do some art.....

At one Sitting


I have my "Nupastels" sitting on my work space and decided to use them this evening......a very quick sketch on a up-cycled cereal box that i covered with medium, torn papers and molding paste....i used pastels to sketch with years ago......i think i like them again... :D

Crafts with Annie


This is what my grand daughter Annie and i did all day monday ....she was home from school with a bad cold......put that Cricut to good use today and cut out all these wonderful snowflakes....what a happy, excited grand daughter she was......

Waiting



These are works that are waiting for me to complete...and i am only posting the ones i have in a "art space" ( messy art space ) in our home, not my studio down the lane......i also have at least 100 sketches of faces in journals that need color..... ...or applied to canvas or wood.....love doing faces.....it is sooo hard to work only on the week-ends ....... but art is my salvation..... ;-)
