    Starting a painting

    Just thought I’d give a sneak peek at what I’m working on.

    I haven’t done any painting for quite some time.

    There are lots of layers on this canvas…I just keep painting over the old with gesso and starting over. Talk about getting my money’s worth out of this canvas!

    Found some art…

    I was cleaning off my craft area this morning and found this page I had completed last week. I never took a picture because the glue was drying then I forgot all about it.

    I used all my scraps and abandoned ideas from our family Christmas letter. The star on the left is one of my digital kaleidoscopes that I had printed then very carefully cut out.

    This second page I whipped together and it kind of shows…

    It was just scraps I had laying around. I wanted to make something just to prove to myself that I hadn’t completely lost it. Not a fantastic piece but this is just my “playtime” altered book anyway.

    Christmas is coming…and still no art

    I’ve been in a major art slump. I decorated the house with seasonal decor but that’s as close to artsy as I’ve gotten these days.

    I’ve got a lot on my plate…medical issues with both my son and my father. This is just a really crappy time of year for this sort of thing to happen. Not that anytime of year is good but it’s hard to be excited and happy when everything around you seems to be going down hill.
