I haven't played with this style of art in such a long time. May have to return to this very soon. I'm having fun with the stippling portraits and there is so much more I want to do. Guess I should get off the computer and get busy!

Big Squishy Hugs and Have a great Saturday!

Finally finished another portrait project

I finally finished another portrait! This is my husbands parents on their wedding day. There are more colors, but the scanner didn't pick them up. I tend to color lightly and it doesn't copy very well. This was his Valentine's Day gift. My gift was a weekend at the beach and a 1954 Ammo Box from the Korean War. I picked it out at an antique shop at the coast. I've got to take a wire brush and clean out the inside and then I plan on using it in my art studio (when I get that set up!) to display finished art projects and/or vintage photos.

I'm off to work on a birthday gift for a friend! Have an amazing day and Big Squishy Hugs!

I'm not doing much right now. Avoiding the Dali portrait like crazy. Finished my husbands Valentine's gift, a portrait of his parents. I need to scan the finished work in and post. Working on a Rag-a-Muffin doll that I started years ago. Discovered her waiting in the box of fabric.

Had a beautiful Valentine's weekend at Nye Beach/Newport, Oregon.

I haven't been working on my projects the past few weeks. I can really tell the difference in my mood. I'm depressed and cranky. So, I need to, once again, turn off the computer, pull out my paper and pencil/pens and get back to my passion. It's really quite simple. So, why do I not do this? Why do I sit and feel lost and in a dark, murky mood?

Big Squishy Hugs!
