Practicing always practicing

Here is my latest face. I don't know why I want to draw faces so much. I find them very challenging.

Sister talk

I changed my desktop to this photo and I thought I would share it with you. They are sisters Rodlechien and Personality (the bay). I bought Personality from Ms Eva Maria Boerschmann way back about 1980.

For a short time Rodlechien was boarded at my barn. I trained Personality in dressage and then Bred her to a black Trakehner stallion Gaillard and she had a beautiful colt Jazzman who I kept and trained in dressage and jumping. I loved dressage! So technical and yet so beautiful. The partnership to me was the best of all, having your best friend with whom you can spend hours practicing and perfecting your craft and also trail riding, playing and relaxing with. They don't use words but they can sure talk if you listen. What are these two saying? "You move over", "No, YOU move over", "NO, YOU MOVE OVER!!!" Sisters, geesh! :)

The general state of affairs

This watercolour set is from elementary school. The quality of the paint is not great but I thought I could use it for an assemblage project. With that in mind I spread the paint about.

The start of a new page.

Cool ephemera from Boulevard magazine.

A big canvas I am playing with.

This is a Mergasus

A Mergasus is from the Land of Inbetween. They are able to fly in the sky but also the sea which makes them bi-worldly.

Meet Fiona

My good friend Kell and I swapped journals and I have been having a blast playing in hers. Here is a little tease for you. Fiona I started from scratch.

This next spread I worked on I used her background as a starting point. The fiery colours inspired me. Here are some details.

To tame the blue painters tape I added a bunch of layers of acrylic paints, pan pastels and oil pastels. Also added a filter for fun.
Kellie and I always have a blast when we get together and art up a storm. :)
