A matter of perspective

Just finished a little watercolor I was working on.  

Not thrilled with it.  At all.  I like the movement in it, but it's too hard edged.  There's such a difference sometimes in what I do, I wish I could figure out what the trick is to do it right all the time.....

At the MAC

Just got back from working at the MAC store today.

If you've never been there it's a cooperative composed of 60 local artists.  We all contribute our time, and join together to have this wonderful venue to showcase (and sell) our work.  Everything displayed there is original.

There's jewelry, glass, ceramics, fabric art, turned wood, acrylic, watercolor, beadwork ... you get the picture.  

It's well worth a visit, so come on down!  And this weekend there's a children's art fair with exhibits and hands on activities.  Lots of fun.  

Wear sunscreen - it's bright out!
 

Done in the nick of time

So I got it finished and my daughter's going to have it set up over the "treats" table for his party to surprise him.  

It was actually kind of fun to just slop paint around.  It's like playing to do stuff with so much paint and movement involved.  

Who says you have to grow up!!!!
 

Painting fast!

Oldest grandson's birthday party(he'll be 15) is Friday, and I got this assignment last Friday.  

How's that for some really fast painting?  It's acrylic, 24 X 36, and I only have the bottom right corner to finish.  

There's some popular game with the kids right now:  Dr. Who - so this is a scene from the game.  Not violent at all, right?
 

Youngest one.

Just finished last week doing a pencil portrait of my youngest grandson.  I was happy with the results, and hope his parents will be too.

Here he is, messing with my camera.  I wanted to get a portrait before he lost his baby cheeks.  

The entry that wasn't

This (cracked) lady was going to be my Atomica Ceramica entry.  Now she is my latest yard art.  Going to plant a vine next to her so she's surrounded by green leaves. 

Atomica Ceramica

Going to be in an art show called "Atomica Ceramica"  at Chandler Center for the Arts, with opening night on March 15.

These are the pieces I'll be showing.  I was going to show a wall pieces but the blankety-blank thing cracked in the firing.

So this is Plan B.  What do you think?
