Two New Mixed Media Paintings

I've been combating stress with painting.  I hope you enjoy them too. For more about them look here.

Square Foot Painting Series

I started a whole new line of Square Foot Paintings. Then my boyfriend got me a table top easel Christmas.  For about a month I was doing a painting a day. And I can't believe I didn't put any of that in my blog. I guess I posted them to my other blogs. I wish someone would sweep out my brain and organize it better.
I even made them their own Etsy shop here. Square Foot Art Gallery. Each painting so far is priced $50, a steal for original art.  That may change in the future.

Canvases

I wanted to paint today but had no canvases. So I went to Michael's. I got two 8x10 canvases. Even though they were 50% off it still seemed high. I need to get some at Art Supply Warehouse or from Dick Blick or something next time I get some money. After paying bills today I'm down to my last $20. Scary. The sacrifices we make for art! This would be a really good time to sell something from my Etsy shop. Maybe I'll go recycle some cans.

Gourd Folk Art Painting

Today was Sat. and I was determined to paint or else. I didn't have any canvases left so I painted on gourds. That is why I bought the gourds after all. I was going to paint 3 small bottle gourds but one of them had cracks so I painted the other two and a bigger roundish gourd. The minute I started to paint it was just one interruption after another. The phone kept ringing, the garden needed water, my bf needed help fixing a knob on the washer, the cat needed attention. And then my bf needed attention.

I did manage to get all 3 gourds painted. I'll let them dry overnight and hopefully put a clear protective spray over them tomorrow.

The desert scene was inspired by my trip to Quartzsite AZ.
