New Series??

This is an artist trading card I completed a couple of weeks ago. I was thinking of doing a larger winter-theme series of payne's gray and white collages incorporating text, trees and of course birds. We shall see....

Treasuries!

Yay! I have been featured in 2 etsy treasuries! Please check them out! CandraBoggs a fabulous artist that I teach with put me into this Treasury and another wonderful artist IreneDesign featured me in this Treasury

One of these days I will snag a treasury and put some great art in it! So far I just have not had any luck!

Well I am so glad it is Thursday! Almost the weekend:) I am going to work on some collages and then watch the Office! Have a great night!

Andy Warhol interactive website

Happy Tuesday! Thanks to everyone who commented on my collages! I appreciate your input so much! This week has been crazy busy so far! I have been busy teaching, helping out with our art club and trying to maintain some sort of social life with friends and family! I am sure everyone can relate!

I don’t know how much of an Andy Warhol fan you are but I found this wonderful art site that I showed to my students today at school. They loved it and it was a great learning tool! The site is http://www.qag.qld.gov.au/kids/online_interactives
and reminds me of a video game! If you get a chance check it out!
Well I am off to bed, I am exhausted!

After a whole pot of coffee.....

I finally got some work done today! Here are some of my collages! I am not finished with the Two Fall Trees collage yet. I am planning on adding a ton more leaves! The other collages are about finished and will go on my etsy site as soon as they are matted, cataloged, and photographed "professionally" by my husband. I am so lucky that I have him to help me out with that aspect of my art. So here is what I have accomplished today, I hope you like them! Sorry about the blurry pictures...I don't have my good camera at the moment!

Today I am making a point to get a lot of work done! The weekends seem to go by so fast and I feel like I am never as productive as I want to be. Right now I am going to put some coffee on, clear off my work space and get started on some new artwork to put on etsy. This little tree should have leaves by the end of the day! I will hopefully have some pictures to post tonight of this collage and some new ones. Here is to a wonderful work day! *Cheers* (from my coffee mug to yours!)

Yay for Saturday!

Hope your Saturday is going well! Mine has been very lovely! I received my wonderful candles from blisscandles. I ordered Pumpkin Souffle and Vanilla Hazelnut Mocha from the celebrity collection. Fancy, right?! They smell like fall:)

My plans for the evening include going out for sushi with a friend! Have a wonderful Saturday evening!

Friday night music

Here is some music to listen to if you need some inspiration....at least it gets me in a good mood! Happy Friday! What is your favorite song to listen to when you are in a creative rut?

New Look!

I have decided to give my blog a makeover...sometimes we just need a little change. It was just one of those days! I hope everyone had a wonderful week! I am so glad it is the weekend! I am just going to kick back and relax tonight. Fridays are my absolute favorite because you have the whole weekend ahead of you!

I am planning on working on many collages this weekend, I need to get some art done for myself! Here is a collage that I am currently working on. It needs some more layers of paint but here is the basic design of the collage.

Hand Drawing Assignment

Just thought I would post some of the projects completed by my Drawing class. What I love about teaching art is seeing the different approaches my students take to each assignment.

Project: Draw your hands, or a partner's hands five times. Two hands must overlap in your drawing. Use any media you would like and be as creative as you want!

These are just a sampling...some students are still finishing their drawings.

Happy Fall Flower Day

Here are some flowers that I picked from my garden the other day. Happy Fall!
