Here is my finished painting.

I am sending it to the new parents to be, I hope they enjoy it.

this is like painting 26 ok 25 individual paintings plus the boarder. It is fun, but very time consuming. I have made a dozen of these and each one is different, even if I choose the same image. The turtle and penguins are new for me.

here is a few close ups of the new ABC..

I really like the turtle : )

I have started an ABC for a friends daughter.... it takes a while to do all the gridding and drawing.

OK... ready set go. Started up my "kids" art class Mon. 3 kids, 8th, 9th & 11th graders. It was a great first class, everyone was very involved and creative. Matt said it was too short. So good on me, I say.

The Rec. w/c class starts next week and my Wed. student is trying to come 2xs a week now. I have been thinking and drawing trying to come up with a drawing for an idea that has been perking in my head. Im still working on it... I am doodling in my sketch book and trying things I see other people on blog spot do.. its very inspiring, and something to think about, so thank you to all those inspiring artist... Ok thats it for now.. more soon.

I have been Doodling a bit,

and working on my hula girl.

Having a lovely labor day weekend, spent time with friends BBQing, saw movie with my honey (the american, pretty good) sat in the sun and swam in the pool. Hope your weekend is as great.

OK... in the real word there are all kinds of people. I know this. Some are good some are A-HOLES. YES a bad word. I have been dealing with people who will not pay what they owe. People who cheat and lie... HOW THE F-ING-A am I suppose paint. It is a creative process. One that requires ... HAPPINESS or at the very least!!! some sort of control? I have tried to paint out anger... it just scared the shit out of me... It didn't release the annexed or the tension.. it just cause more. Sorry, some psychologist I don't know? but it didn't.... I need happiness or contentment to paint.. yes,,,, YES pretty pictures. Is that a crime. I like flowers and pretty pictures... its what makes me happy. I don't do DARK. Sue me.!

Ok,,,, I hope you are all having a nice day... sorry about the rant. but.. it must be out in the either!

Saturday I painted over a painting I really didn't like and made on I did.

I may fuss with it a little more but I like this on. Hope you all enjoy it too. Have a great day.
