Progress (Already!)
Last month, around this time, I wrote three posts of things I want to do/accomplish this year personally, artistically, and with my book. Personally, I’ve done two (3 if you count the oregon trip as a personal vacation and not a couples one) – I’ve gotten myself a bathing suit that I look *cute* in…

Peak Above the Clouds
Last night I sat down to paint the view from the plane as I remembered (except for the fairy, she just seemed fitting). It took a long time, because I thought that my 16×20 canvas was more appropriate a size for a mountain I could see from my neighbor’s window over the wing. I noticed…

Mountains in the clouds…
So this morning on the flight home I happened to glance out the airplane window and see a mountain top peeking through the clouds. I grabbed my ipad a few minutes later and started drawing it….then I accidentally deleted it…so I had to start all over. Sometime tonight (if I don’t fall asleep) or tomorrow…

Bad Artist
So I didn’t do anything today or yesterday…because yesterday I had my first ever massage and body wrap which was utterly and completely amazing!

Little Monster (#16)
This morning I painted one of the little green monsters we got the guys at the office. It’s mostly inspired by this really cool green shirt one of them was wearing the other day, but the monster was more fun to paint, and was still green…..

Painting Ceramics
Today we went to a pottery place and painted our own ceramics. They’ll bake them and gloss them and give them back to us on Friday. I made my very own tea set (because I don’t actually own one). First I was just going to make these two cups… But as we went along, the…

iPhone art (#14)
Decided to paint on/with my iphone today after lunch, and tomorrow we’ll be painting pottery. I’m trying to decide on a cup or a plate and if I should make a movie reference or just play with it. But that’s besides the point – today I tried something different with the brushes app instead of…

Reflection (#13)
Spent most of the day at a museum and didn’t feel like getting paints out when I got home, so I opened Sketchbook Pro on my ipad and decided that a fairy’s reflection would be kinda cool…

Painting in my Head (#12)
Yesterday, while we were on our walk/hike I stopped and paused and started painting in my head – visualizing the image I was going to paint – and then did a really really rough 5 second sketch in my notebook and called it a day. This morning I created a 6×6 painting of what was…

Art on the West Coast #11
We took a walk up Pilot Butte and when I got back I sketched out an idea for a painting…tomorrow.
