Take a Seat

I was searching my blog for a painting and I can't find it, so evidently I forgot to post a new watercolor.  I painted this back in September.

This was done with watercolor but I drew it with water soluble ink.  It is Tobacco Brown, and I love it.  It sort of melts when it gets wet.
This is one of my favorite subjects.

Tennessee Collage

I have 8 days of sketching! I have challenged myself to sketch each day for a year! I hope I can follw through. Here are some of the first 8 days of January! I have done some experimenting with just using lines, and I like it!
I have a sketch blog where I am adding each day, if you want to sign up for notifications you can add your email there.

First Painting of the Year

I have been doing some sketches from our trip to Tennessee, which are on my sketch blog
Suzy Pal Sketches I did a barn
and a friend saw it on face book and wanted one like it so I got it done today.  I used the same technique using brown water soluble ink. I love this ink.  It is by DeAtrementis and is called Tobacco. It just melts into the paper. I really like it! Give the sketches a different look.
This was done on hot press paper which i don't normally use.

Incite 4-Relax. Restore. Renew

Wow I am so behind on posting, but I haven't gotten to paint in a while now.  The holidays, etc come first sometimes!  We had an awesome Christmas time with our family, and hope you did too!
As long as we have our families, friends and health we are so rich!

I just got an email from North Light Book Club saying I had been selected for their new Incite 4 Book. Relax, Restore and Renew is the theme.  I entered 3 of my collage campers, and they chose 2.
Both of these pieces have been sold.

This will probably be the last post of 2015! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by.
Thanks for checking in on what I paint and what is going on with my 'art life'.
I will be teaching the 3rd Friday's of the month, and hopefully a couple of workshops.
Collage and sketching. If you are interested, drop me a line.

 

Happy New Year to everybody, 

and may your 2016 be healthy and happy!

Ruffles and Rust Show

I decided to have a booth at the Ruffles and Rust Christmas show in Lubbock, TX.  That was a big job getting a lot of my Christmas stuff there.  I took some paintings and prints but my little snow people ornaments did better! i have painted SO many of these this year! Such fun though!
