Working my goal

 

At the beginning of the year one of my goals was to sell my art.

So I am working towards that goal ever so slowly, but am

working at it.  I am first off redoing this blog, spiffing it up

and making it a bit more user friendly hopefully.  I know

a little code not much, but I am working it.  The second

thing that I am doing toward that goal.  I have been

trying out different graphic places to print my art for art

prints.  I must tell you I bought some art online (no names)

and could hardly wait to get it and I paid a pretty price

for it and when it came, it was just from her printer, and

not nice at all. So I am trying out places, different papers

and reasonable pricing.  So far 2 things I am doing from my list

Back to the Farm

This picture was made with photo elements.  These are all my own elements all hand drawn and painted.  What I did was scanned the bird, the farm ,and the bird on top of the roof and then put each one onto the background.   I think it turned out pretty good.  I am always drawing birds and buildings in my sketch book and then scanning them just in case I need something. Just another way to create not on canvas.

The elephant in the room

Still my old nose.  I had fun with this though the wings look a little wonky.

I drew the wings after I finshed her and then added whiteout for texture.

Also to anonymous I do try to get back to each persons blog who leaves a comment.

I also always leave a comment when I visit other blogs.  if its not the same day they leave the comment, it might take me a week but I do get back to there blog.

I hope that those of you who read my blog understand that I appreciate each and everyone of you

Twofer

This is what I call a twofer, linking to two things,

"Things with Wings"

http://art-journal-journey.blogspot.ca/2015/03/032015-things-with-wings-dinge-mit.html

Angels

http://mix-it-monthly.blogspot.ca/2015/02/marz-2015-angel-saints.html

how good am I getting a twofer out of one

Well whats going on with you today, just got home from the gym

I hate exercise I really do, but if I want to live to be 103 and still

creating art I have to do it, plus that the Dr. orders for my life.

Picked up the new book (at the library)

Traci Bautista new book called Printmaking Unleashed.

Okay this is my theory I get it at the Library , read

it thru and then and only then I decide if I like and

then I buy the book.  Gotta tell you  90 percent

of the books don't make the cut.  So much

repetitive nonsense,
.  But this

one looks like a keeper.  Last night made

some foam stamps while watching the TV, gonna

try them out today and lets have a show and

tell tomorrow.  Okay you have read enough

  I will talk to you tomorrow.

Is it a plane, is it superman no its another bird

 When Art Journal Challenge                 http://art-journal-journey.blogspot.ca/2015/03/032015-things-with-wings-dinge-mit.htmldecided on birds, I knew they would be sick of me bythe end of this challenge.  If you read this blog a lot I love drawing birds, I love collaging birds, I love painting birds, I love incorporating birds in my paintings.  Technically its not birds its "things with wings" I might do other things but birds are my favourite go to item to draw.
  I like drawing a few things, can you guess what they are.  If you guessed, cities, birds, portraits, yes I really like drawing those.  So I have decided I better move on and get better at other things, like whole bodies, hands, feet, so stay tuned you might be seeing some pretty crappy hands and feet coming to a blog near you. In case you are wondering, this is a painted messy paper towel, I drew the bird separately, and I used my painted papers and collaged on him, they glued him down.

hey is lonely up here..

This picture I am linking to the monthly challenge over at

Art -Journey.

Well its happened I think I have the flu.  I have not had the flu

for I don't know how many years.  I faithfully get the

flu shot, and it straight off misses me.  Well the

hubster who also gets the flu shot was very ill

last night, we are talking to the porcelain sick, bad headache,

all the sudden losing his voice, ok that part was not

so bad.  I wake up today and all the sudden I

am off, you know that feeling in your stomach

when you know things are going

to go downhill quickly.  So no swimming today

until I find out what going on, maybe it

will miss me I hope so.  Okay lets not

talk about it anymore.  Moving  on I have a hankering to

make a huge kick ass painting, so I am going

to do it.  Off what I have no clue, any ideas

will be appreciated.  And after it done

its going above the bed......

So what's up with you today?
