Gypsies & Gesso: September 2012
http://gypsiesgesso.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2012. Have I done any actual ART this year? Well a little.I painted a fish on a board for John. Pet or animal Portrait. The only problem is, it's all bigger than it looks, so now that there is so much that looks painted, I pull back to reveal how big this job really is! What we have done so far has been spare time work all summer, but the weather has changed so much, I don't think we will get much further this year.besides, my fear of heights is making this job harder. I've spent ...

Gypsies & Gesso: February 2013
http://gypsiesgesso.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2013. First, (on Sunday) I piled the snow, because it wasn't sticky enough to really do much else. It started to look like a lizard, so I kept shoveling to make it more so! Then I started to carve the teeth on Monday. But the weather wasn't quite right for building, so every time I carved too much I would lose or break off a tooth. I am very lucky to have a staff of creative people who understand (even if they find it slightly amusing) that I had to go home early to fix my monster.

Wednesday, September 18, 2013. I have painted some canvas! This one still seems a bit pale but not as foggy as intended. In progress on the easel. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I've spent all my life being as connected to art as possible. I love to see anyone being creative , I am epecially fond of two and three dimemsional art. This is a way to focus. After a...
