November Image

Because I'm so tickled with the new calendar images, I just have to share another one. Who knew that my Tangy Zoodles would blend so well with my Bomomos? I'm encouraged to have even more fun with them when I get a moment.

Another Peek At The Calendar

I have finished the images for the 2014 calendar, I just need to upload them to Cafe Press to make the calendar publishable. I probably won't be able to get to that until tomorrow, so I'm offering you another sneak peek. This time it's February.

2014 Calendar

As you know, I like to put together a wall calendar every year. Well, at least I've done it for the past two years so now I feel like it's a tradition. Although I would have like to have had next year's calendar finished in August, it just wasn't meant to be, so I'm working on it now. I'm having a great time with the new images, too. So, I thought I'd treat you to a sneak preview. This is the image that I think I'll be using for April.

Throw Pillows

I've been having a lot of fun with the new and improved Cafe Press lately and I've discovered that they now have a throw pillow whose look I love! At least, from the photos. I have yet to see one in real life, but I intend to. I'm dying to order one with one of my designs. 

Anyway, these are the pillows I've created to date. And this is the link for all my home products:

Blank, But A Different Color

The canvas is still blank, but now it's gray. And the tools I intend to use are at the ready.

Blank Canvas... Again

When I first started painting at the ripe old age of 39, a blank canvas was something I feared. I was terrified to begin. What if I make a mistake? What if I don't like what I paint? Then I finally asked myself the best question of all, What's the worst that can happen? And the answer to that was, you just wipe it all out or cover it up with a coat of gesso, and start all over again.

After that, a blank canvas represented a new journey and I could face it with a sense of excitement. 

Currently, this blank canvas is the largest I've ever worked with. I typically work on small canvases, but this is a painting that my mother has commissioned and she has asked that it be 30" x 40".  So, this larger size has me super excited! 

I'll share with you the steps that I take to cover this canvas; even if it turns out to be something I don't like and I have to "erase" it and start all over again.
