Affirmation Art

This may be silly, but I was feeling extremely low and struggling with self-worth, so I decided to do some affirmations in my art. Maybe it can help someone else feel better too.

Sleeping Pancho

Here is my little dog Pancho sleeping on the couch. I was very loose and not controlled when I did the line drawing, and it turned out much better than the drawing I did before, where I tried to be precise and perfect. I struggle to let go of my controlling tendencies. So, I painted it lightly in acrylics. You know me, I love color.

Cherry Pie

Here is one quick rendition of a delicious cherry pie and cherry soda that I enjoyed while visiting Mt. Horeb. We ate lunch at a restaurant that was in a Victorian house. We sat outside on the porch and ate our dessert first. I like doing that. Don't save the good stuff for later. Eat dessert first. Lately, I've been thinking about where I'd like to display my art. This would fall under the category of kitchen art.

Sunflower

Here's something sunny and bright to look at, when I'm not feeling sunny and bright. I've hung this one in my bedroom, because it's happy and calming at the same time.

Sundae In East Troy

I was going to paint again, a flower, but I came across my photos from Memorial Day. We went to East Troy and stopped at an old fashioned ice cream shop. I shared a sundae with my boyfriend. That was the inspiration for this little painting.

Fruit

Family and friends make great art critcs. My mom said there's an artsy truth to these fruits, (what?) my boyfriend said he likes the shading. I think they're colorful and fun. My friend Chris does pears all the time. I'm sure my pear isn't as good as her many pears !

Tiny Art

I got these cute little canvas trading cards. I'm not impressed here. I think I'm completely back tracking in my progress, and I just wasn't in the mood this evening and had no clear cut ideas. Here is Sutherland my other cat, and a spring tulip. Big whoop.
