Sea glass and water color....

Picture




It's a different type of art day today.

​After I removed the sea glass bowl from its form and then inserted the marbles I moved on to starting some water color bookmarks.

Lovely water color cards....

Picture


​madelinekerrii has a tutorial on YouTube that I really like so I decided to do it again (for the cards on the right side).

It seems my brain is starting to open up to possibilities. I'm not always having to rely on a tutorial anymore! That makes me very happy because it USED TO BE that if I saw it I could try to create it. Now it seems that I am able to think it and picture it in my mind and create it. As in the images on the left which is a loose rendition of the bay where I live.

How about some water color painting....

Picture





​I think today I will paint. This picture that I had painted from a YouTube tutorial has been on my mind lately. I really like the way it turned out so I'm thinking I will find the tutorial and do this again but on some greeting cards this time.

From an idea floating in my head to a work of art....

​Sometimes I have an idea that sits in my head for a while and slowly develops. This is one of those ideas. A few days ago I drew the circles and then put the paint around the outside with the plan of it becoming a mandala. This morning I woke up with this idea of adding the colors within the circle so I'm working on that now and I have a feeling this will be a Zentangle not a mandala. But we'll see. It will continue to float around in my head and the creative ideas will come to me when they're ready.

Multi language cards....

Picture


​

Another beautiful hand drawn mandala over watercolor. Love this color combination. Someone had asked if I could do cards in both languages so I was happy to do that. Now I have some in both languages, some in English and some in Spanish so people have options.

Fun water color bookmarks....

Picture










Not one to waste anything. I'm making bookmarks with the little trimmed off edge of my watercolor page. Lots of water coloring and doodling going on today.

Beautiful lion artwork intrigued me....

Almost a year ago I took a picture of this art hanging in a hotel we were staying at. It really intrigued me. Today I've decided I want to try and create something like this. So here I go. The far left is the original work and then you see my efforts. It's interesting how my confidence has improved to the point that I'm willing to try things with the understanding that it may not turned out as well as I hoped but I'm still willing to try and to share my efforts regardless of the outcome. It's all about the learning process along the way.

    Who knew there was an artist lurking within? Certainly not me.

    It started with my Mom giving me some paints that she wasn’t using but I never did anything with them because “I wasn’t artistic” - according to myself. We really need to learn to have a kinder inner voice because I have discovered that apparently I am artistic.
     
    In early 2018 I was introduced to an artist on Instagram ​from Australia who makes the most beautiful art. I looked at it and was truly inspired. I thought how hard can it be to put dots on some rocks. I had never felt that I was artistic at all but this woman has changed me forever! So I began and since that time I have started following even more rock artists to inspire me.

    In late 2019 my sister in law introduced me to another Instagram person who creates coloring books. Drawing is another thing I said I could never do but thanks to the inspiration I am receiving from this woman and through various social media sources I have discovered that I actually can draw.
     
    So the lesson is....you never really know what you are capable of until you actually try it! Never say never, I can’t etc. to yourself. Obviously I have to change my words and thoughts from - "I'm not artistic" and "I can't draw" to.....
    ​"Cool something new! Let's give it a try and see where it goes!" And now when people ask me what I do I say - I am an Artist!
     
    I look forward to expanding my creativity. Thank you for your interest and support.
