Bald Eagle

Today I drew a bald eagle. I used Prismacolor Pencils, pastels and gel pen.

As we celebrate the coming of a new year, we also celebrate the artists and their talent, their teaching and their spirit.  Kristin and Eva have kept this spirit alive for Paint Party Fridays for more than 2 years. The had intended to have the party for one year, but the party has grown and developed into more than expected.  We honor each other, we are helped each week by our talent and it has become a huge learning, teaching, and beautiful artistic site.  Thank you Kristin and Eva from the bottom of my heart.

Blessings,

Merry Duck

Merry Duck

I had a wonderful family vacation over the past Thanksgiving week. I also visited the American Revolutionary re-enactment site at Camden SC.  I need to go back when they have the re-enactments. It was a fun and wonderful time.

My daughter said I needed to do a Christmas duck, ummm did that 2 weeks ago, whoops, here's another one.

I used pastels, Prismacolor pencils, verithin, and watercolor.

Thank you Eva and Kristin for the Paint Party Friday ongoing artists showings, teachings and allowing us to learn something new every week.

Blessings,
Janet

I am a Stencil Winner. . . .my Yellow Cottage has a Rainbow - Updated with Addition

I was a winner of the Stencil Girl Blog Hop featuring Pam Carriker.  Maria sent it to me. I was so excited. . .it went into my Spam folder and I was late getting back to her.  . . Oh My Gosh gmail . . .what were you thinking???

I can think of many uses for this stencil, but the first thing I saw was a Rainbow. . . . and of course my yellow cottage.  The long-haired dascshund, the garden and flowers. . .

I used the pastels, Prismacolor pencils and pens. The picture is 6x8 inches.

Thanks so much Eva and Kristin for throwing a great Paint Party Friday. The artists are varied and exceptional. Their creativity that they share through video and instruction are fun and a learning experience.  The art varies from journaling to mixed media and explanation of art supplies.

I thought the rainbow should be mushed together more and darker in spots, it wasn't too realistic. I am so glad for the stencil that I originally used because it kept the lines for it. I notice I don't have trees, couldn't figure out if I wanted palms or Elms/Oaks.  We'll see. I just want to find the durn thing and move in.

Blessings,
Janet

It’s not what I have been through in my life that defines who I am. . .It’s how I got through it that has made me who I am today.

Clouds

On my daily walk in the mornings, I take a lot of pictures of clouds.  I have attempted to do something different here.  I put some water in some of them. . . not too sure what to do with them to make them look like clouds!!!  It is, yes, the yellow cottage I'm still trying to find. . . this time it's on a farm.  There's more corn beyond. . .

I used Prismacolor pencil and pens. It's 6x8 inches.

Be sure and take a look at what some of the other artists have come up with and what art supplies they are using on Paint Party Friday.

Blessings,
Janet
