Coyote (Animal Wednesday)


I took these photos of this very skinny coyote a couple weeks ago. I wish I had been closer and that he had
looked at the camera instead of away, but here he is. I have been spotting about one or two coyotes a month, The coyotes know I love them :-).
I hope you are having a great week. I will have some art to share soon, I have many collages in the works.
XOXO

New Collage








I am painting again, or should I say I am working. I found it very hard to get a good photo of this collage, the second photo is closer, but none of them really get the true color which is pale pink and cream/yellow. Even with my light cube and photo shop I could not capture it. The detail gets all washed away, so I have included many close up shots and if you double click on the detail shot you will get a better idea of what is going on. Another day I will try for a better shot. I worked on this collage all weekend and had so much fun, trying so many different things before settling on this. I used a painting that I reworked and many drawing that I had done before I got sick, so basically I just had to put elements together until I found the ones that made me happy. This is a 20"x 20", Venetian plaster, oil, paper, ink, graphite, rust stained paper, stick, thread and cold wax on cradle board. I am thinking the title is "The Offering".
I have not done collage for years, so I am not very sure of my work, but I liked this and I hope you do too.
I am feeling the fire coming back and am starting a new piece today. I expect these collages to just get better as I get more confident.
I always love to hear your thoughts.
P.S. Due to all the spam I have been getting in my comments I am sorry to report that I had to put that awful word verification back in my comment section. I just don't see any other way to handle it.
XOXO

Changes

I changed the name of my website so this is the new address: HERE
Thank you all so much who gave me input and made comments on the new site, I appreciate you all so much.
Still no art being done, but I am cleaning and organizing my little art room, so at least I can see what I have and I think that may inspire me this weekend to do a bit of painting or drawing.
Have a wonderful weekend!
XOXO

New Website

I let my old, dusty, unmanageable website go a while ago and I needed to build my own. I found a free site and have been working for the last two weeks to get it done. It still needs a little work and I need to add some paintings to it, but I wanted to show you and get some feedback about what you think of it.
Go Here.

Have a great week!
XOXO

Be Still

"For happiness, how little suffices for happiness!... the least thing precisely, the gentlest thing, the lightest thing, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a wisk, an eye glance-little maketh up the best happiness, Be still"
-Nietzsche
Feeling much better, though still low energy. Not getting any art done yet, but hopefully soon. Thank you all for your sweet well wishes.
Have a wonderful week. xoxo
