Strawberry Dapples

Art in the garden

Still playing around with this canvas. I love horses with dapples. My mare is a liver chestnut and in the spring she has dapples. Hers are very subtle almost like it is the way the hairs lay rather than actual colour. They say it is a good sign of health. I'm not sure if this is a Merhorse now. He seems to be flying to me rather than swimming. I think he must be from the Zenterra ~ the land of inbetween. :)

Blue Green

Feeling blue green. Trying out muslin to letter and paint on.

Made a pocket size accordion fold journal. Used 90lb watercolour paper.

MerHorse

Probably not finished yet but I am liking it. :)

I don't know the name of this fern. It was one I bought at the nursery ages ago. It seems kind of prehistoric. Very cool!

Bleedingheart

Cornflower

Sunshine and heat at last!

I am trying to inspire myself up to work on canvases. I love to work in my journals but I get very unsure of what to do after I get one or two layers on a canvas and I can't seem to get unstuck. I need to cure myself of this. I am try to push through and let go and just keep on moving forward.

Here are some of my potted plants sprouting forth on my patio. My art studio is just to the left of this shot.

I used the keys hanging by my door and some other images to make this digital collage.

Happy Mothers Day

Mom and I and Pogo

The Tree Peony Mom gave me is flourishing. It has 5 flowers this year and they are all open today. They are spectacular! Each flower is 8 or nine inches across when fully open.
Big hugs!!!

Playing in my scribble journal and liked the idea for this face.

So then I went for it in my new Japanese pocket size accordion style Moleskine in acrylics and pilot pen. Inspired my Modigliani yet again. :)

Still Moleskine Crazy

I am having so much fun with Moleskines. I nearly have one of every type. I am altering the covers as well as working inside them and here you can see Queen BB hold up a gaggle of moleskines.

For my new fabric journal I decided to go small and make it the same size as the Moleskines.

I am not crazy about the lighting here. I was experimenting using the room lighting and my tripod to see if it would look more natural but it looks so golden.

Here are a few pages inside my fabric journal.

The devil made me do it. Ha!
