New paintings and a better less complicated idea.

Hello everyone,
I have decided that I am going to just add my new art here, instead to my website, because they are going to be deactivating bravehost accounts and switching to a new bravesites and changing their rules and stuff...So I am just going to put my new stuff here and not worry about the HTML of things.

So here are a few new paintings.


 Well I know you are probably wondering why my clock painting, doesn't have any hands! I did that on purpose, I don't feel it needs any hands as it is a different kind of fantasy time travelers clock lol...I like my art to have a fantasy feel to it, and so this clock does not have hands because it is non-winding, and it's time is infinite. I know it looks amateurish, but I don't care, and I just like to share my art with the world :-)


 This is my gears painting, I sketched it out before the clock, but decided to paint the clock first, as to bring in the gears of the clock, so they kind of go together as a pair :-) I may add more to it as I do not feel it is quite finished yet and needs some more shadow and color added.

And this is my new landscape painting, I hadn't painting one in a long time and I have been reading a great landscape painting book which has a lot of good things in there. I'll add a link to it for those who would like to try landscape painting and see that it isn't as hard as it looks :-)
I'd also like to add that some of this painting is not visible, because I scanned it and it's a little too big for the scanner, I will try to take a photo of it later and see if it comes out better and post it here in place of this one.



So here is the link for the book I used for a little bit of a guide, there is just so much in it that you'd have to see for yourself, it shows you different techniques and how to use more than one canvas to make a nice big painting for your wall! (2, 3, or even 4 canvases put together as 1) I hope you all enjoy my art because I enjoy creating it and sharing it!


Have a wonderful week and blessings to all

Here is a big news update!

I will be taking a whole lot of my time this week end trying my best to throw together an artist type thing. Where my website is right now, they are updating and upgrading there rules and services and with all the content I do have on mine I will be having to move it else where.

I'm not happy about this move because I know it will be a lot of time and work. It's worth it, but It is going to be hard to configure and figure all the differences and changes I will be having to make.

So if you come here for a visit now and than, now you know that I will be busy at work with my art website content being moved. Sadly during times like this other things get neglected...I did however have a feeling (as stated in an earlier post) that this was going to be happening!

Thanks for your patience and I hope your weekend at least will be fun filled and wonderful!

PS- The good news and positive to this change? I get to start off fresh somewhere new and use a different look and feel. It is going to be hard and tiring, but also fun and exciting to see what I can come up with.

An update!

Hello everyone,

I would like to say sorry for not being around, and here is an update! I have been very busy, with, no school for me, and time with my child. As well as keep busy with other appointments and trying to find a job.

Summer is coming and I am planning on doing a lot of outdoor activities. I have some new paintings that need scanning as well as a few drawings I have finished as well. But due to me being busy with everything else, sadly my website and blog has been neglected. Sorry about that!

Social outside of my home is becoming a new venture so I may be a while before posting post to post.

I thank you for the patience!

I got two new ARTISTS books! Strokes of Genius and Wonderful Landscape s! DRAWING AND PAINTING!

So I was at the books store and got two wonderful new artist books, I've decided to post a little bit of a review of the books in-case anyone else might be interested in buying one or both of them! I got both! I was looking for some inspirational books and wanted something newer and I got these both at a lower cost than their original prices!
The first one is "Fast & Fun Landscape paining by Donna Dewberry"


This books looks great and I took a few glances in it and I just love it! It's FILLED with Landscape paintings as well as some WIP(work in progress) explanations for artist wanting to try it themselves. She makes it looks so easy I think I maybe try a few small paintings and hang them on my walls because honestly my walls could use some pictures to fill up some empty spaces.

The next book I got is "Strokes of Genius the best of drawing Edited By Rachel Rubin Wolf"


This book is FILLED with drawings done by many different artist with a wide verity of drawing mediums and techniques. This is a big books so all the images within are very easy to make out. If an artist was wanting to try to do a copy version for personal skill enhancing the visual is big and clear enough to see every stroke! I can definitely see why it says strokes of genius! These many different artists have been drawn from hundreds of submissions all over the world!

I can't wait to get started on both of them! Seriously looking forward to it, but I am so excited, I am unsure which one I will start with. I was so excited about getting them, I had to share thew NEWS! :)
