Sounds of Silenece

I will not be blogging till next monday, I have some personal things to take care of.....talk to you then

Cleo's Guys

As you can see all I have managed to create is a journal page and that I am not happy with. I seem to have a block that has not yet been unlocked but I am working on it...Stay tuned

Are two eyed women pretty.

My version of Picasso's (Woman in a blue hat). I am sure he had a thing for women with two heads or two eyes. Maybe all the women he dated were not good looking.....after all he was no stud..Did he wake up one morning after a night of drinking and say cheez I think I will paint a two eyed woman. These are my theories (lol). Well today is another day and I am going to try to get to the studio and do something instead of work in my journal, so I am outta of here and talk to you later.

flower power...

Well this is a journal entry that I made in Victoria...I think that was the only one I made. No time for art when you are about and about all day and night. Now it is back to drawing table, I am having a block right now, so I need to get down to the studio and try to create, or read art books something.

Let the bells ring, I am back...

Well I am back, and into the whole housewife groove again. Had a great time, eat some great food, drink some great drinks, had an amazing time with my gal pals and generally just had a relaxing time. Now I am back and eager to get into some art. More pics of the trip later.

Last minute photos of the presents for the trip

Well here a few pictures of the travel journal I created for the girls. I have one for myself already. As part of there gift also I am giving scissors, glue etc. And of course I am taking my art on the go box, with needed supplies. Also included an original piece of art by me,
We are planning (trying) to go to Salt Spring Island on Saturday morning for the annual Saturday Art Market. Salt Spring Island is an artist community (robert bateman lives there for example) and they have an amazing amount of artists that live there. You have to take a ferry from Victoria there it is about 30 minutes away. Going to take alot of pics so be prepared.
I decided that I could post these now as I am sure they will not be looking at the blog.

I have been a bad blogger....

Well I have been missing in action lately. Had a lot of personal stuff going on so really did not feel like blogging much. The picture of women above is my close group of friends that I have had about 30 years.....you know the kind you can tell anything to. Well we always go on a trip every year about this time, and no exception we are off on thursday morning early.....to land of sun and sea (no not Marina Del Rae) Victoria flying of course, so no blogging will be done till wednesday of next week. Stay tuned for the highlights of the trip plus pictures. I have been working on the gifs, each one of us brings gifts for everyone (handmade) hopefully nothing expensive, sometimes funny sometines not. I love the ones I am doing this year. No pictures till next week as they read my blog. So talk to you all next week.

Flower Power

Hello Wednesday....half the week gone. Was very busy yesterday went to the emergency vet's , the puppy eat a pill off the floor that I had dropped. So we rushed off, they made her vomit, and she had to stay 3 hours there. When we came home we had to give her liquid charcoal. Lets just say I would not want it in my mouth. Well the daughter and I are not nurse material. The daughter had Sofie between her legs, we had to pry open her mouth she knew what was coming and was crying and hiding her head. And I had a syringe they gave me, and I had to shoot it in her mouth about 4 times. Sofie was crying, I missed her mouth got the daughter, got the cement,got me me, but Sofie finally got it all and seems recovered today. So here is hoping for a better day today.

blue on blue finished canvases

These two canvases are now completed. Done with stencils and spray paint. The texture was done with tile putty, evelopes, bubble wrap etc. Just a little more paint needed on the edges I just noticed that. If you click on the picture with both canvases you will get a better idea of how they turned out.

Corn Days of Summer..

Yep that right, its not the dog days of summer but the corn days. This is my fabourite time of year. The corn is ready around here, well not here but further south. And every end of August beginning of September the Taber Corn people bring there corn up and sell it till its gone, and then no more local corn till next August. Well its afternoon already god the time passes by fast. I have been rising early..to enjoy each and every day of nice weather we have. As a matter of fact I am off to take the dog for a walk.

Sunday Sunday.you sure do shine...

Well today has been all about the house, tidying up, cooking raspberry muffins (very good), getting supper ready. I am off to the airport to pick my Mom up coming home from visiting with my Sister for two weeks. Stopping by my house, for dinner and then I will take her home. She probably will be glad to be home. Its always nice to go but its nice to come home.

Saturday .....and the living is easy

Its Saturday 12:00 noon and I have already been to Costco...that is a day in itself. Spent way to much money. Now I am off to the art store, etc. Today is a me day..I like those days, nobody but me doing what I want and when I want to. How about you what do you do on your me days.

Goodmorning Friday

Well happy friday to you all. When I was working I really could hardly wait for Friday to come, cause that meant the weekend. Now everday is Friday...but still I look forward to it. This is an art journal page I was playing with yesterday while watching TV...I like how it turned out. If everyone has a good white pen that writes over anything, please tell me, I am on the search for one...

Paper Bag Boy

Meet my Paper Bag Boy. Actually I was shopping the other day and got a paper shopping bag. Got it home and thought I will reuse this and do something with it, so here it is. I loved doing it, I love the eye patch I think it makes him myserious looking.

show and tell

Here is one of my little watercolours I have been doing, I like doing them they are fast and easy.
Now this is something I have been working on for awhile. Lots of texture and colour. The lips are not quite right yet, he looks like he has Mick Jagger lips, need to fix that. Sorry about the mess around the picture..

Whale Bubbles...

I used some of my new "school supplies" on the whale. I wanted to get some Derwent Intense Watercolour Pencils, and here they are. I love how they stay the colours. I did a bunch of work in the studio yesterday. I finished two abstracts, worked on this Indian dream sequence, and finished the paper bag picture that I was working on. Plus a bunch of watercolour pictures done on postcard size watercolour paper. This is one of them.

Goodbye Summer-Hello Fall

Well its September was never my favourite month, those long ago memories of first days of school. Now its the dreaded winter fast approaching. I do love fall colours, the cooler weather. I had fun creating this page hope you like it to. Today is the day I am going to kick my butt into high gear, its 8:00 am an ungodly hour to be up and the house already vacumned the dog taken to doggy day car and the girl gone off to college, the hubby at work. So what is this lady of lesisure going to do today you got it some art. Some shopping at the art store they have a sale on, I think I need new school supplies (lol . More cleaning for 1 more hour that is my house cleaning time limit today. So I am off on my house cleaning to get it done and out of the way. I might even post later and show you what I have done......

Dream Car

I have a pretty new car, a Honda Civic and I am happy with it. I got it when it was brand new, my first new car. I went practical, good gas mileage, good resale value. The car I really wanted was a Volkswagan Convertible. My friend Sandy has it, in Pearl with leather seats. When I dirve with her with the top down I am in heaven. But the practical me says you cant drive with the top down when its -40 degrees out. So I made a good choice...Oh by the way the dream car is candy apple red and I am one hot thin looking mama in it. Thats why its a dream....you can see yourself anyway you want.
