I'm coming back...

I am coming back, I just need to go through all my more recent art work and get it on to my pages!
I was very busy for a bit and I blogged a little on one of my other blogs...unrelated to this one!
So I am back, and I am feeling very bad for neglecting all of my blogs but I had a bad obsession with all of them and gave myself more than I could handle all at once. I guess that happens when you have so many interests!

See ya's soon!
Ann

PS-I don't know how soon, but I'll do my best..

I almost forgot...I wont be posting anymore jewelery for a while as I haven't really made anything in that area..I was going to hair school, moving to a new place and lots of other stuff. I'm off to bed now, I just wanted to post so that I can prove I am not dead.

Update on another part of my art

Hello everyone, you'll notice...if you haven't already, that I have a newly added page on my profile page for my hand made jewelry. here is the link http://annshandmadejewels.blogspot.ca/ you can go check it out, I will be adding one for each day.

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!

Backgrounds and added information content UPDATES! NEW PHOTO ADDED

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know I am updating my site a little bit. The site isn't changing too much but it does look as if it has gone through a major change, because I am changing the backgrounds and borders. This means that the look and feel looks way different, as I am changing those things. Nothing else has changed, the layout is exactly the same.

However I am adding a bit of informative content to a couple pages, as I feel that some little explanation needs to be added due to new sites that get added to the "Links/Other" page. It is just an short explanation that some artist pages listed there "may" contain graphic/nude content. I only added it because some people can feel offended by it, because some as non-artist don't understand the concept of nude art to be a beauty and another expression.

I also would like to mention, that I do not place nude on my site, simply because I am a mother and have an 11 year old boy, who enjoys my art and I have found him looking through my books. Knowing this about him I do not have any nude drawings, painting or any form of nude in any of my art, due to his wandering eyes in my work. I'd love to explore, drawing nudes, but knowing he will see it, I do not. He is 11 after all.

So if you take a look at my site and go through the pages(which can also be found on the right side bar) you might slowly see my updated pages.

Have a great week everyone!

Ann J

PS- You'll also find a surprise on this page that I newly added today!

A quick update and another new book!

Hello everyone and I hope your week has been great so far.

Here are some new updates! Not to my site however, but I just got a new book last week! I am loving it and I also took a course that this book was based around.

What's the book you ask?

Drawing on The Right Side of The Brain(newest and revised version) is a great book for beginners who just want a different approach to drawing experiences and a different kind of "seeing" how to draw like an artist! Actually it is designed for people who think they can't draw...I agree with this book because I have had friends tell me the only thing they can draw is stick men. Anyone can draw, and this is a great book for those looking to try their hand at drawing maybe even as just a hobby. 

 This book has instructions as well as photos showing you that with these techniques you can become the artist you never thought you could be. They have photos SHOWING how far others have come in this course and the Authors classes. 

This book also doesn't make you feel as discouraged as you normally would, because it's approach is to just be calm, don't stress out if it isn't perfect and just relax and go with the flow. 

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their artistic skills or just anyone who want to learn how to draw in general. This book is great for everyone, not just beginners, but professionals a like. 

So I have been drawing and trying some of these techniques, and trying to stay calm at this time in my life. Sometimes we must pick a hobby and or activity to keep us going and to look to more positive things while we are feeling negative. 

That is what I have been up to lately as well. I have been keeping busy. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the week and please feel free to comment! I may not respond the same day, but remember I always respond!
