Jumbo Otto…..

Playtime/quiet time…with my Moleskine. ❤

“When you feed a fish, never feed him a lot.
So much and no more! Never more than a spot,
or something may happen. You never know what.”

Fish on, Otto.

fin!

I just finished my second commission. So much fun….mixed with a little anxiety. I wanted to make something I could be proud of and, of course, something that the client would really enjoy (and, not use as kindling for their fireplace).

So, here are a few pics of the finished piece….”You are beautiful…pass it on”.

My new friend. I made her this week.

“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Can I?

Yes, you can!

Happy Friday, everyone!

…and, she is done.

Starting with a blank sheet of paper, sketching out an idea, and bringing that idea to life on a canvas is such a great experience, for me.
I always start with a definite idea (with my initial sketch) but, once I start adding colors, textures, swirls and strokes, I just let my mind go where it wants to go.  Totally unplanned.  So, in a way, it’s always a surprise to me (my art), once it’s finished.  Each of my little ladies takes on her own unique expression and life. It’s like I’ve created a new friend each time I finish one.
Happy Thursday, everybody!

“I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.”

…the start of something new….

“The way to create art is to burn and destroy
ordinary concepts and to substitute them
with new truths that run down from the top of the head
and out of the heart.” ― Charles Bukowski
