were having a heat wave

 

Yes we are having a heat wave, and I am not complaining our winter is so cold and long, the heat is nice.  The shopper is on her road trip and just left Vegas

and said it was so hot there, duh Vegas in the summer.....

The pool where I usually swim closed for repairs in June, and I had

to go to a new pool for a few months, now that pool is closed,

till further notice Mechanical Failure, so no swimming for awhile.

Been doing a lot of reading of art books so far this summer.  Been working on small art projects, the bird series, and making stamps.read Julie Baltzers books Stamp, Carve Play, its really good, great ideas about stamping and stuff.

The month not much new art will be on the blog, but lots of really old stuff you might not have seen, maybe some tuts, and some great sites I have found, and some good youtubes.  So stay tuned.

practice collage

 

Life started out as a little drawing

that of course over time morphed

into a collage.  A little element here

and little element there and they it be.

But really only was meant to be a fast

sketch for an idea for a painting.

Today is the big B

I am going to Apple today and buying my IPAD
I am getting the 2nd generation only

because it has a big screen

I would like the mini but these eyes need

a big screen

Last night B celebration at the mother in-laws

favourite cake (carrot) supplied by my sister in-law

tonight if hubby is feeling better dinner out

with the boyfriend and the shopper

if hubby doesn't feel good we are

having a steak BBQ and all the

trimmings.

So today its all about me, pedicure

IPAD shopping, maybe the

art store.  Well I better

go make myself beautiful, as

you know when your 30 you

don't need much (lol)

did you know 61 is the new 31

 

 





New Technology

Well I thought I would post before I left for the day.  I am

on the hunt for a IPAD.  I am a little behind in all

the new techno stuff.  We have at present a home computer,

where the printer and scanner are hooked up to.  And I

had a Laptop, I did all my internet surfing on it , well in the family room
 with the

hubster.  Well last night the LapTop gave up. I think I have

had it about 5 years, and I have given it a good workout.  I

have wanted an IPAD but could not justify buying one

because I had the laptop.  And because I am having a

birthday next week, perfect timing.  So I am on the

hunt.  I will keep you informed.



swim girl....

 

 

today I am late posting

no excuses, I have nothing of value to say

I live a life that sometimes I am bored with

I have been staying around the house

keeping the hubster company.  The

only other thing I do is still swim

every morning. I have not even

been to the art store.  I know, I know

I feel the need coming on.

Sgt Peppers Loney heart club band

 

 

I love the Beatles music, it brings me back

to my youth.  I still remember playing

She Loves Me on my record player on the

floor with my sister (lol) anyway I

was practising my lettering and this is

what came out.

Downtown......

last night while watching Curling, not my choice

I was sketching, and this is what came

out of it.  I was trying to get the

correct measurements for a full length body.

I need more practice

 

 

 

 



A exchange tip.....

 

the skin color does not turn out to good on the computer in

real life it is very smooth, I tried to fix it in Photoshop elements

but it looked worse.

I created this while watching TV, just used markers.  I have

to make these ladies smile more, or is that just a part

of my style. 

 

The Circle Journal that I am a participant in just arrived yesterday.  This is

almost the end of the swap, only one more after this one.  I had

fun doing it, and for sure would do it again.  The art in the journals have been

amazing.  The only downsize is the postal rates, but you have to

factor that in when signing up for these things.  So if you ever are

thinking of doing a journal exchange think about where the

participants are from.  Just a tip from me.
