New art to be posted soon, thanks for your patience! UPDATE!

Hello everyone;

I know I haven't been around for a VERY LONG TIME! But I have been creating, painting, drawing and thinking up more ideas for new creations! I had a big creative zone and had to use that time and get to creating! 

I actually did a lot of painting and have updated an old painting (with WIP pics to be added later) and (around 4 or 5)new paintings as well. And I will be adding them all later, I just want to take pics/scans first and than add them at the same time to my computer so I can explain a little bit about them.

I've been really busy with my child and this summer really has been a busy one with lots of out door activities as well as planning for our future and getting ready/shopping for school! Who's excited about school starting? 

I am and so is my son, he actually said "I can't wait to go to school", he misses his friends, because he doesn't have many around where we live, actually he had one and they just moved so he is even more impatient to start.

So Hopefully in a few days I will have everything in order and add all my new art :-)

I'm always working on a water color master piece I can't wait to share it when I finally finish it. It has been in my mind and planned for over a year now on how it has been coming together!

I want to Thank You all for your patience (well those who have been wondering if at all) in waiting for at least an update or something!

I do think of you all, just so you know! You are all wonderful people and I always look forward to seeing updates on your blogs and such, I also look forward to any comments if posted!

Have a wonderful Sunday! (((hugs)) To you all and I hope everyone is doing well and in good health and good luck has been on your side lately! 

Much love to all
Ann

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
AnnJ

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! :)

Information about my site

Since this is my first real blog posting with more information about my site. I am just going to tell you the story of how everything came about, in a nutshell!

My website; showcasing my art, has come a very long way! The website itself started as just me playing around with html and creating a website for something to do. I didn't have any topics or any general idea of what the website would be about. But now that I have put more focus on my creativity, it has become so much more than just a regular website!

Over the years I have entered free HTML courses online; to learn more about website creation, for personal knowledge, of course! I had also join groups online for graphics programs, I gained knowledge and bettered my creativity in the process. These all being FREELY learned online, as a personal hobby. With these courses I took, I gained certification of completion! Even though those certifications were small, they gave me a sense of pleasure, knowing I had finished something I wanted for myself. Just simple things like that can give someone confidence to want to do more and better things for themselves!

I am going through my pages on my website and than when I am finally done that I will post what is new, my next blog posting with be a bit of an introduction.

Happy Easter!

About this Blog

Hello!
And this is my blog for my art website! This is the place you would want to be if you wanted to know if anything new has been added, and to where. Without this blog you would have to go to the website and go through all the many different pages to find anything new and try to guess what or where it might be!

This is also a great place to leave comments and or feedback about what you think, what you might like to see, or maybe even some opinion of changes you wouldn't mind seeing! You can make requests, set a challenge for me( if I am up to the challenge) or anything else you might have in mind for my art pages!

Please have a look around while I am still working and will add some new added updates here later one!

Thanks for taking the time to view!
