So much has gone on the last 2 weeks, sorry I was unable to participate last Sunday. My mom, 76 years young, fell and broke her wrist. Her left wrist - she is left handed so it has been quite an ordeal. I have spent my spare time preparing some food and going to check on her. She is a little over an hour away so I haven't had much art-time. Anyways, she is on the mend and thankfully won't need surgery!!!

| ooooooooccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhh! |
So back to work in the "studio" - I have decided to start writing and speaking in Artist terms - not lesser words because I think I am not really an artist - I am!
I have finished my
highly prized granddaughter, Cloee - entitled: the essence of pink!
Sunday Sketches -You'll have to see her again next week because I love the matting that I've ordered for her - it was out of stock so I want to share her totally completed but for today no mat...

| Cloee - the Essence of Pink |
Thanks to
Sophia for hosting Sunday Sketches a true source of inspiration, so much talent there! Please visit
http://bluechairdiary.blogspot.com/ - you won't be disappointed!!!
And back over at
Sketchbook Challenge the theme for February is
OPPOSITES!!! I was soooooooo excited that it wasn't hearts!!!
 |
| opposites come together |
In my moleskin sketchbook this is my interpretation of Opposites! Watercolor with pitt pen. I will probably have note cards made of this...I like it! It is so different from any that I have in my sets of cards. Thanks to
Sue Bleiweiss and her group of artists' for hosting such a fun challenge!
I have also started to study Flying Lessons - an e-course offered by
Kelly Rae Roberts... WOW is all I can say and I am only 50 pages into it!!! So with my new artist attitude I hope to improve my blog, my work and my creative business!!!!
Cheers, Go Packers!!! Make a great week!!!
