Some art journal pages

This is the completed page from an earlier post... I like how it reminds me of early school pictures. The sun is cut out of paper and white cartoon clouds.

"Live a life of Passion" - YUP.

This one is all about my books. Can't imagine life without them. - now THAT doesn't sound geekish at all does it?! :)

Keeps me sane.

I also am loving my new white pen. It is a Gelly Roll and it just glides over all that paint!

This is the next one in progress - Life is the colour you make it. - for sure. And YES, that is how we spell colour up here. :)

Well, back to painting... some new things in the works!

Trash to Treasure

Well, not really trash :)

This was part of an old dresser that had come apart. A little drawer in front with a brass handle.

I stripped and cleaned all the wood and then painted a scene on it for a present for my friends.

The base drawn on there...

and all finished and sealed.

It's a wonderful walnut and the front of the drawer turned out to be burl wood which is so pretty!

I see this all the time at my friends house and they love it.

Now that I think about it, this was one of 2. I should do another one for me!

Painted Paddle

A small paddle painted for a cottage rental business.

Buster

A small painting I did for a friend whose dog had passed on.

He was a great hunting dog and companion for fishing so I added some collage.

Some mail art...

5 more sketches

As per popular request ( Hi Mom! ) here are 5 more sketches....

Getting to be a habit now :)

Altered Beatles book

This is an altered composition book I did. This is how it started...

Sheet music and the inside cover...

I did a Beatles theme.

Some close ups.

Another drawing...

I love this old photo so I tried to recreate it.

My assemblage...

This is from a class I took from Michael DeMeng and it originally was an electrical outlet from my house that I replaced.

I added a lot of symbolism about my life and my likes. It was a lot of fun!

Some new items on Etsy

I have been adding some more vintage finds to my etsy shop.

Sepia postcards - some from France..

Mini wallpaper packs...

A lot of different maps from 1919...

Some early sheet music...
