Play play play

As Anita Mills says, you have to play with your mediums, before you get serious.

I finally did it!!

I finally figured out how to get photos from my camera into my computer, that is so nice.

Art crawl

A beautiful nite for the crawl. I went alone, needed to pick up my painting of the tree. They called and said thry liked my piece, but they had to many entries to hang them all, the director liked my piece, but said the judge decides what goes, anyways I am glad how it turned out. The crawl didn't seem as good as the last one, less stores and less art, lots of jewelry, the Paramount was locked, someone bought all the seats for a private showing, so no reception. Bought a few cards from Joe, I just love his dolls. I was disappointed in Heidi's laundry show, I guess I expected more of her. My tree is hanging proud on the wall, we enjoy it.

Cleaning my art room.

I finally spent about 3 hours in my art room, threw out 2 garbage bags of papers, cleaned files and magazines out.  Feels good, A lot more to do, it's a start.

Earth Art Show

I turned in my painting for the show, I really like how it turned out, "CO2  Release", trees release CO2 to the earth and they are the Guardians. I worded it differently on my statement. Quite a few pieces were coming in, I saw a great piece that looked like the grand canyon in oranges and browns.  It will be judged tomorrow morning.

Earth Show

Finished my painting of an oak tree on black background, looks pretty good. Having a time finding a title. Trees Guardian of the night, A tree on the dark earth, Tree on guard, Night on earth........... 16"x 20", mixed media on canvas.

Tile Mural wall

Today was the day Bridget Riverspoon came to meet the group at Country Buffet, it was great.  The tiles she shared were just fantastic.  Everyone is thrilled about it, I took the info to Stacey, she really liked the concept and we are readfy to roll with it.

Sketchbook

Tonight was sketchbook at the Whitehorse. Lots of laughs, stories and of course drawing.
Glad I went.

The art of making bouja

On Halloween day, I decided to make Polish Bouja, making bouja is an art and this is my first attempt. I gathered meats, pork, beef, chicken, onion, green pepper, celery, rutabaga, carrots, cabbage,green beans. potatoes, frozen peas, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Got out the paring knife  cleaned the veggies, diced, chopped, defatted the meats cooked them alone in the pot,  added the veggies and stirred with my wooden spoon, the potatoe masher ready to mash the bouja. I stirred and watched the pots slow cook for 12 hours, while passing out candy to the trick and treaters.  A very tasty batch of bouja is now in the freezer and will be waiting for the cold days of winter to warm up the tummy.
