My rendition of Klimt's "Lady with a Muff."   Created for the Klimt challenge at The Trodden Path


Previous sketch painted with soft pastels. More color, and mosaic effect added using the Bamboo pad with Photoshop.

sketched this one during tonight's debate.  

Home Sweet Home

I'm slowly but surely settling into my new place.  I have a larger studio area, but it's an open concept, so I have to focus on keeping things neater as I work....NOT!!!!!

I've been having trouble with the internet and telephone service here, but that's OK too.  Keeps me focused on the chores that need doing.  Besides I'm not a phone person.  Would be just as content without one. ;-)

I prefer interacting face to face, which reminds me.... set up Facetime, or whatever!!!

With that said....wishing all of you..............Hippie, Happy thoughts! XOXO

29 FACES     

Ebb and Flow


Life playing out.  Ebb and flow.   Sometimes the waters are calm, sometimes the waves are overwhelming.  It's our calling to ride them, learn to navigate, be courageous, ....have FUN.

When the waters are still....float along in a state of gratitude, study the lessons, and ready yourself for the next big one.

In the meantime....paint your board all kinds of different!!!! XO

29 FACES

29 Faces is a group I'm participating in for the entire month of September, and we are to create 29 faces.  One per day.  Any medium, style, finished or unfinished....29 faces by Sept. 30th!
With as much as I've got going on these days, this is a perfect way for me to wind down before bed.
Thanks Ayala!!!
