This week I was set back by a nasty cold, but still managed to get a few pieces put together.
Let’s start with a painting: This one is only 6” square. It started as an abstract but turned into an abstract landscape.
Next, I have a few new pages in the kraft journal:
Then I made a few impromptu holiday cards with my gelli plate.
Thanks so much for joining me today - have a wonderful week!
This week was a busy one, as I spent the work week in Toronto. I took a small art kit with me - some gelli prints and other assorted papers, an old magazine, pens and some washi tape. Plus scissors (in checked baggage of course), and a glue stick. I also took a few index cards as I’d decided to use them as my substrate.
I ended up making seven cards in the four nights I was there.
When I got home I did a couple of pages in the kraft journal:
And I finished three paintings that will be going into a local show in December.
Thank you so much for joining me today - see you next week!
Another week has flown by - here’s what I’ve been up to art-wise.
Let’s start with paintings this week.
These three paintings will be in a local show and sale at this cool gallery: Ministry of Casual Living I have not shown my work there before and I don’t think I’ve even been to their “new” location which has probably been there for ages. Looking forward to it. Each painting is 8” square on wood and will be displayed unframed with black painted edges.
Of course some more pages were completed in the kraft journal:
And one more page in the Tiny Sketchbook...
And last but not least, took an idea from last week’s kraft journal pages and translated it onto some recycled box panel. I think I might do some of these on 8” square panels so stay tuned for that.
Thanks so much for joining me today. See you next week.
This week I worked mostly in the kraft journal and the tiny sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project. I have one postcard as well. I’ve also been working on a new painting that might be ready to look at next week.
Let’s start with the kraft journal - amazed how many pages were done this week.
Here is a postcard I’ve mailed into Mail Mania 6 - an upcoming art show to be held in my home town in Canada. Check it out and send something in - you have until August next year.
And here are two new spreads in the tiny sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project. It’s almost done and I am glad. I don’t mind working small but...
Thanks so much for joining me today - I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit. See you next weekend.
I can hardly believe it’s been a week since my last week in review post. When I look back on the week I’m almost always surprised at how much art I’ve made - let’s see if that holds true this week...
We’ll start with the kraft journal - only one spread completed this week.
I also managed to complete a couple of spreads in the tiny sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project.
I had a great afternoon on Saturday, making gelli prints over at another local artist’s studio with a group of ladies I haven’t hung out with before - such fun!
And then I made 10 postcards for the DIY postcard swap hosted by IHanna.
I did these by gelli printing right onto my favourite substrate (old bingo cards) and then embellishing them with various pens.
Last but not least I made a fun Halloween piece:
Thanks so much for joining me this week. See you next time.
This week was very busy in my non-art life, so I don’t have a lot to show.
Let’s start with a new painting completed this week - 10” x 10” on cradle board.
I altered a couple of index cards...
and got a few pages done in the kraft journal.
Thanks so much for joining me today - I’ll be back next week - hopefully with a bit more pieces to look at.
This week was a busy one, and although I didn’t have much time for art I still managed to get enough done for a post.
let’s start with paintings. I finished two works in progress this week.
This one is 24” square.
And this one, called “Many Moons”, is 16” x 20”.
Last but not least, I’m thrilled to report that my painting, “Moderna” was sold at The Sidney Fine Arts Show this weekend. Here’s a picture of it at the show with the magical red dot indicating it’s sold status.
In mixed media, I altered an index card:
A new spread in the kraft journal:
And decided to renew my efforts to finish the Tiny Sketchbook for the Brooklyn Library’s Sketchbook Project. It is not due in NY until February, but I know from experience how easy it is to leave things to the last minute. It’s also a fun little project to work on when there isn’t much time after working all day etc.
It’s getting more and more difficult to keep the pages open so excuse any pictures of my finger nails. :)
Thanks so much for joining me today. See you next week!
As mentioned in my Sunday Postcard Art post, this week we celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, which means an extra day off. Because I decided to visit Vancouver (my province’s largest city, which involves a ferry ride of about 1.75 hours and some driving on both sides) on Sunday, I’m a bit behind on my art posting. I certainly had a fun day that ended up with some new paints and other art supplies. This week I focused on the kraft journal. I also worked on several paintings that are not quite finished. Thanks so much for joining me today!
This week I’ve finished a painting, worked in a journal and made some other small works. I also have a bunch more stuff on the go, but that’s for next week.
I also made this fun postcard...a bit Hallowe’eny.
Last Sunday, I spent a wonderful day with friends making gelli prints. This first one is an art piece on its own (I think).
And here are some other highlights - I have a whole stack that didn’t make the cut but will make great backgrounds...
Last, but not least, here is the painting I finished this week. I have titled it “Eye Spy”. It’s 24” x 30” on wrapped canvas. Thanks so much for joining me today - I really appreciate your visit!
This week, I am a bit late posting since I am on vacation out of town. I’ve brought my tiny sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project and have been working on it, as well as a few things I worked on before I left...
Here are the rest of the pages of the accordion book I was working on.
A random repurposed box panel.
Here are the pages from the Tiny Sketchbook.
Thanks so much for joining me this week! See you soon.
