art time today in the studio

prepping boards for something ART-y to follow!

Flower girl

ready for spring and barefeet.

Silver belt buckle for her head and then a tea stainer for wings.  A heart made out of linoleum

painted red.  The handle of the tea strainer is her body wrapped in blue silk fabric.  Her skirt is

a metal cut-out lampshade and her feet are metal painted.  Her arms are wire jute wrapped in fabric and 

she is holding a wire metal leaf from an old candle holder.  

garden angel

the wings?

two sock stretchers put together

and the hangers are her feet.

Then I attached a deep fry screen?on top 

and wove fabric through the screen for her body.

The handle of the fry screen is her face

and green jute wire for her hair.

She's ready to bless Spring!

Today was SPRING.

Then WINTER.

Then SPRING.

Then WINTER..

let me check....

oh it's

SPRING

journal art...about spring.

a little premature I know...

but this morning when I went outside, I felt spring..  sunshine,

birds singing.. oh yeah.. it's in the air. 

So of course, I am planning shows. 

Two on my radar for Spring.

One in Salt Lake City March 9

and now

Denver April 5-7

Colorado Arts & Gourmet Food

These fell into my lap from the sky and I am 

counting my lucky stars for them.  

Snow in the forecast for the next two days and 

spring will have to be persistent.

But that's how we run spring and me.

Persistent and determined.

It will happen.

Just watch and see!

GOOD DOG

 WEEKEND ART:

Recycled linoleum painted and cut into doggie parts and then assembled with pop rivets.

Collar made from a black zipper section and eye is a large washer painted black and attached using

a large pop rivet.

Next the wooden cradle board painted with acrylics.  I scribbled a dog verse throughout the background.

and lastly dribbled lime green paint to create grass like effects.  Can you tell I am in the mood for spring?

Waiting for the paint to dry.  Sigh.  I am so impatient. The dribble paint is fun but it takes at least overnight to thoroughly dry.

TADA!

A happy colorful mutt dancing among the flowers. 

Another wonderful day doing art in my studio.

Joy-full indeed.

PAY IT FORWARD

donate some art to a worthy cause in your area.

If you are like me, you have a stash that is sitting in your studio.

It makes you feel so good to contribute an art piece for the good.

Whenever I read of a local benefit with a silent auction, I jump up and

donate some art.  Contributing and good feelings.

A nice way to spread the good vibes of ART!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
