Painting for My Living Room

I recently finished a painting for my living room containing two of my favorite things to decorate the home--turquoise and flowers!!!  I must say--it looks great and adds a bit of whimsy!!!  I used a mixed media technique where I painted paper and adhered it, then incorporated the paper and canvas with my Golden squeeze bottle acrylics---fun, fun, fun!!!

Hard to Work When the Studio is a Mess

I ordered a number of books from Amazon on how to organize studios and craft areas.  The books are very interesting and have a number of pictures which really helps me to get a better idea do things I can do to "get it together."  I have trouble working when the clutter takes over.  I'm working on it!!!

The "BUS"



I just love a cute VW Bus!  I am planning to do a series of these little cuties--this is my first.  I have included a sketch on a sticky note and a couple photos of the almost complete painting.  I painted the bus on paper and secured it on the canvas.  More to come...
