Have you heard.....

 

I am so excited, guess what I finally won something

and something I have been wanting

I won a free blogger custom blogger template from

http://www.carrieloves.com/

Lately I have been feeling blah about this blog

you know I have tried to make it look better

new banner etc, but if you don't know

enough about code you just cant do it.

so stay tuned for a new looking

exciting redo of my blog........



Lady in Red

 

today is all about:

working the canvas

catching up on some paperwork

sitting on the deck and basking in the sunlight

what are you doing today?



mixed media

 

this is a little postcard sized mixed media piece I did

you know I had it in a frame (ikea) on top of my

fireplace forever, I dont think I ever showed it on my blog

 

today I went to lunch with the neighbour

then I went to visit my friend in the hospital

I have been friends with her from grade 6

we introduced her to her husband

we have been together thru thick and thin

and the thin is coming now

what do you do when you don't know what to say

all I did was hold her hand and tell her I loved her

The good bad and the ugly

 

You remember this canvas, its one I did at a class

and really I have not been to happy with

it .  It has been laying around the studio,

and I keep looking at it and thinking

eh.  So yesterday, I did a redo of it

I have not finished yet but wanted to

give you a peek.

 

 

so

here it is.  What do you think?

Good?

Bad? 

I like it I think a little more edgy
