Oops ... I lost my last post: "Looking Out" canvas!

Dear bloggers ... I accidentally overwrote my previous post with this canvas, so I'm re-posting it.


Now I'll tell you how I created it: I made the girl/woman using the Microsoft Paint program. The rest of the piece was created using gesso, newspaper, various acrylic paints, a toilet paper roll, an empty tape dispenser roll, a swirl stamp, and acrylic sealing spray.

Ta-ta for now!

Doodle Art & One More Thing

Hi bloggers.

This is a short post to show you some doodle art I completed recently, and a birthday card that I made for my father-in-law for his birthday.

When you're in between projects, it's good to stay in the art game by doodling. I started this doodle weeks ago and finished it this weekend. It was fun to do. I colored it with mostly gel pens and used a black Sharpie for the large black sections. I might frame it in a clear frame or just insert it into one of my art portfolios.

 This is the birthday card for Papa Pierro. It is embellished with pieces cut out of tissue boxes, the gold foil from a sardine can, scrap paper, and small stickers. Mixed media artists find uses for things that most people put out in the trash!



































Well, that's all for now. I wish you much peace, hope & love!
