Sailboat

I went walking downtown today, hoping to find an art supply shop, but there wasn't any. I did walk into a couple galleries though. I bought some postcards with designs on them by Ann Windell. I love her flowers, but I thought her sailboats were good too. This is my attempt at imitating her. It was fun. I tried to "imitate" Van Gogh this morning, his Starry Night on the Rhone, oh my it sucked. I'm not going to show it here. I need to remember, I'm rusty, and I need to keep my images simple. Then, I do a better job.

Spring Tree

A picture by Klimt was the inspiration for this one. Doing a bunch of dots is fun.

Trees at Sunset

This canvass is the size of a bathroom tile. I got the idea looking at a photo that I took of the sunset through the trees off my boyfriend's back patio.

Flowers 29 Mar 10

My boyfriend gave me all sorts of canvasses for my birthday. This is a 3x5, very small, so I did some flowers. I took this picture with my new digital camera. This camera has a setting for close ups, but I had a heck of a time getting this picture in focus. I couldn't get as close as I wanted.

Windy Tress In a Field

I started this one Sunday night, but dinner time interrupted it, and then after dinner, it was time to snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. I quickly finished it tonight.

Psychosis, PMS, Depression

On Wednesday of this past week, I found myself journalling at work, trying to find answers about why I am the way I am. I didn't like myself that day. When I put the pen down and turned around, and my boyfriend was there with flowers and Cadbury chocolate eggs. Happy Birthday week to me. My birthday was on Friday. I instantly felt better, and I felt loved, and I felt the urgency of the here and now. Later that week, I saw a painting of Medusa, and used that as inspiration for how I had been feeling.

Winter Birds

I've tried to straighten out this picture, but it's a lost cause. I want to post, because I'm not drawing as much as I used to, but I want to show that I am still doing it. Here are my sideways winter birds.
