An Abstract Night

 



My mom painting her funny gal


One night my mom and I decided to pick these funny ladies to paint.  I love how hers came out (the one on the right), she has an attitude and it fits.  We both wanted to try something different. In the beginning I found that I was okay at looking at a picture of a character or little cartoon type of critter and being able to paint it.  It was fun and I enjoyed but I wanted to be able to just jump right into painting those big amazing paintings with landscapes and such.  It doesn't work out like that, I had to take my time and practice.  Soon I started to look up little quick things on techniques and the different types of brushes to use.  I couldn't wait until my  next paint night with either with my daughters or my mom, but before too long I just started to mess around with painting at home.  I bought a canvas paper pad to use to practice the little things I learned and then I'd buy the 8x10 canvass to start to use what I learned.

It started back in December, my hands started to give me issues.  I freaked out because you need your hands to do everything!  I also enjoying writing and painting so if I were to get to where I couldn't do those things anymore I would be lost.  Seriously lost!

I have arthritis in my finger tips and in both wrist, worse in my right one. Also suffering from De Quervain's Tenosynotitis-a paint condition affecting the tendons on my thumb and side of wrist.  It will take a long time to heal the tendon until then I have to take it easy and go in for shots of cortisone to help. I have had two rounds of shots in my wrists, they hurt so bad also left bruising from the inside out. Then there is the snow! Winter winter.....w...

The Art of Blending

The Art of Blending There’s magic in the way colors meet,   Swirling together, bold and sweet.   With each new blend, I start to see   A world of endless possibility.   Leftover paint on a fresh canvas spread,   Ignites my creativity, clears my head.   Colors dance in a playful flow,   Where they'll lead, I never know.    From the spontaneous swirls arise   New ideas, a joyful surprise!   Some of my best have come this way,   Born from colors that love to play.    It’s freeing, fun, a creative delight,   To blend and blend from morning to night.
