Hello

I do plan to add more art, but I really need to go through it and find my new stuff! As I stated before I have been busy with other things in life, I just got a job on  Wednesday! So I hope to be back later tonight and post some new art!
Have a great day everyone and I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend. :)

UPDATE One old/new painting added

Hello everyone,
I'm off to bed, but I wanted to post a little bit here saying that I added a new post to my Art Pages. I will be adding more when I get some more time to do so, this week!
I hope you all had a great weekend, it's snowing again where I am (New Brunswick Canada), and I myself believe we have had enough of it, we have had so much snow fall that we don't know where to put it!

The walk ways in between where our lawn use to be looks like a little gully, it looks to be about 2 to 2 and a half inches high (and that's not even where the huge snow banks are), and well the snow banks are all above my head and than some, here is a photo I took when I was walking to a friends house last weekend.

Have a good day ahead and good night.

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

Updates!

Hello everyone, 

I have been enjoying the summer with my son and we have been going to the beach, he just loves the water and playing with the other kids. 

I have been creating when I have the chance and a spare moment to myself. I have been making more jewelry and coming up with ideas on what else to create and I am liking this process! 

The process of having more creative ideas is great, I had a block for quite some time, I hate it when I get like that. I like to write as well, if you have been to my old website you would know that already. I have been drawing off and on, but feeling more drawn to creating jewelry. But I'm also a mom so there isn't much time for creativity, so I do it when I can.

I added a new art post to my other blog, of a painting, and you will have one added tomorrow as well, I'm getting a bit tired now so I just wanted to give some updates I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Good Night

Ann

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!

Just a few words...

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to let you know I have been having a busy few days, updating other blogs, trying to find a job and being a mom, so with everything keeping me away. I thought I'd let you all know that, that is where I have been!
I plan to add more stuff next week!
Have a great week!
Ann

Just a little post before I go to bed! I have been BLOGGED!

I got blogged about the other day! Check it out!


This is a great blogger, I have been sharing some chats with. They have a wide range of things to read about and some very funny posts too. They are very intelligent, and well worth the visit.
I hadn't been doing much on blogger lately, so I hadn't noticed it until now!
Sorry I hadn't checked it sooner, perhaps I was a bit self absorbed at the time?


 

I'm so shocked I don't really know how to express my gratitude, I feel honored to be mentioned on someone's blog! I really don't know what to say...
Thanks so much, I am happy to be considered as a friend.

PS - Hope all is well with you, You have been in my thoughts!

New creations on the go!

Hello again everyone!

Well I just wanted to log in and post a bit of an update.

I have been creating a little but, I finished a small and yet fast painting (which I will post later when other creations are done!), I have been drawing and going a long with the book I mentioned in an earlier post, found HERE. I am really enjoying the book, I have also been reading a Renaissance book of old famous art. It's called The art of the Renaissance Nathaniel Harris, I was looking for a link so I could post it, but I couldn't find one! It's only 80pages long but I really am liking it! Plus it has some of my faves in it! :-)

Well have a great day everyone and I hope your weekend is going great too!

I want to thank you all again for coming to view my updates on my art blog and I also would like to thank those who have viewed my art on my website!

PS-Be Well!

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!

NEW UPDATE coming about! SKETCHING, PAINTINGS, DIGITAL and more!

So far I have added 3 new art pages ( art 5, art 6, and art 7)and I have also added some new sketches and some paintings. I have a big sketch and big painting to added as well. I am still working on the organization so that I will have them in order of SKETCHING, PAINTINGS and DIGITAL in their own places (pages), rather than having them all scattered together.

Another UPDATE!

I have been fixing the navigational links and adding them to the tops and the bottoms of the pages so it is a bit easier to get around. So if you are at the top and scroll down to look at the whole page, you now wont have to click back on the browser nor scroll back up to link the next page links# at the top.

I have a page specifically made for advertisements, newly added and I am trying to fix it so it doesn’t look so overwhelming with ads. I have moved those to the sides and left a text area where I will say a few words.

So in the mean time keep checking the site if you wish to see all the new and exciting changes that I am doing with my site!

If you have any concerns and or suggestions, or even an opinion on what you like to see fix or added, please feel free to leave a comment or fill one the NEW -LY ADDED form I placed one the “HOME” page!

I look forward to posting my next update …
Have a great day everyone and I thank you for visiting my links and art pages!
