Wish it was summer! Post number 24

Here is another post.  This is a painting that I finished during the summer.  I did a series of flowers from my garden.  This cactus blooms every year.  I have given starts of it to others and they love them as an accent piece.  Of course, everyone should paint a yellow cactus!  I think it must be required in some art courses somewhere.

Number 23

Today is number 23 on my try at posting everyday.  I know I have missed a couple of days, but my intention is to have 365 posts.  Hopefully, those will be distributed as close to one each day as I can make them. Another good day!  Met someone that I am going to meet for coffee over at B&N, soon. 

This is a good start at meeting my goals for this year.  This is another ATC from the daisy reference. I can't figure out why the placement of the text isn't the same, when the picture is changed from left to right.  I will never understand all the ins and outs of the computer!

Here is #22

Today I started a class in metal work at the jr. college near me.  This is something I have thought about doing for several years.  Now that I have actually started, I want to make an A.  The types of   skills I learn will help with designing and making jewelry.  I won't be making anything that is outstanding, since the techinical side of the pieces I will be doing are the basics of working in metal.  I tried to make a one inch circle in the middle of an inch and a half square using a small hand saw.  I did a miserable job of it!  In fact the teacher said it was a four on a scale of ten....I will post some of the objects I make.  This picture is an ATC one of several I did from the same reference.  It is done in colored pencil.

Post 21

I took both of the 2 versions of "decorates" in a small frame.  They were both done with colored pencils.  One has more detail, because I added a darker yellow.

Number 20, #2 for today

I then cropped the picture, I needed it less detail, so I cropped it down alot.  I wanted to try this picture in two different ways.

Posts Numbers 19& 20& 21

I am posting three pictures today, one at a time, to make up for missing days.  I was busy planning and doind the art for a demo/lecture.  I also started a jr. college class.  I had to have three pieces of art for the demo and a finished piece.  The demo was last night and it went really well.  I was suprised at the full theater and all the questions afterwards. This is my first post...It is the original of the third piece I am putting up today. I chose it from a bunch of pictures for a challenge.

Whoopeee! Got fishies
