Weekend painting challenge at WetCanvas, hosted by a lovely lady named Dewi, who just came back from her trip. I loved the light in this, and haven't done a landscape for a while. This is a quick study maybe 45min or less... Used watercolor pencils and some pastels on 9x12 paper. Enjoy!! :)<br />

Loved the colors of these Roses, just the kind to bring big smiles from most women. This is Day 16 in the 30 in 30 Challenge half way through the month. This painting was done very quickly, wanted to make the deadline. It's more or less a study for a larger painting. It will be part of my Petite Pearls collection. Will look at it more tomorrow. Thanks for viewing.......</div>

Was not my original intentions, the brushes just took over, and I just followed along. </div>

It was a good week with this challenge, trying at times, as I'm not in the groove yet, but, I can feel a good change in all this...</div>

My goal this week, it to get all caught up and simplify my compositions somewhat. </div>

Posting her to see what she looks like. I often see fixes that need to be done so much easier, when posted. was going to just leave her scarf just as it was, but last night my muse decided she needed some color.....what do you think. lol thoughts welcomed. Just enjoying the lovely summer and playing. Hope you are too.<br />
Drawing with vine charcoal, and a bit of mischief with her scarf....done in my big sketchbook, about 9x12in. Still a WIP (work in progress) with this one.Shezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01268607773570160085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23081480.post-73940347998271802842014-08-02T19:52:00.000-07:002014-09-24T02:20:36.437-07:00Young Woman 2 Vine Charcoal Quick DrawingHave been working with some Vine Charcoal drawings last couple of days<br />
Thought I'd post them. These are quick drawings, quite rough, nothing fancy, or extra fixing done. <br />
I often like to use ball point pens to do this , as you can't erase those and I like the challenge.....Of course like anything else, the more you do these, the more you learn and the better you get....<br />
<br />
This one was done with charcoal and conte for the hair.......<br />

This is an update to the original painting wanted to give her a better background.<br />
It's a Digi painting done in my Photoshop Elements program. Just used a Mouse and no layering.....basically cause I have never gotten to reading how to do layers as yet.....LOL<br />
My first digi painting with a figure. If you scroll down a couple of posts, You'll find more info on my endeavors... This painting was done from a photo of some dolls in a store window.<br />
I like this background much better, She looks more like a painting done with acrylic or oils now.......:) Shezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01268607773570160085noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23081480.post-34014247823937605742013-11-28T07:39:00.000-08:002014-08-11T05:28:07.881-07:00Chrysanthemum Delight!!!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did a 9x12 sketch of the reference(of some hand made dolls, one was an old craggy witch) first, and then scanned it onto my computer and ended up doing a digi painting with my sketch, using my mouse with my Photoshop Elements programe.<br />
My first, not very savvy with image programs, so was pleased with the outcome of this....thought I'd post it and show everyone. Goes to show that anything is possible, even with primative tools....LOL The Link above is to my thread on this image at WetCanvas. Hope you enjoy<br />

Wonderful news, my painting has arrived.!!!<br />
I'm so thrilled it's here. It's come all the way from San Salvador, an Island in the Bahamas.<br />
It's a beautiful Pastel Portrait 16x20in of my Grand Daughter Julia 3yrs,. painted by a wonderful Artist and friend Li Newton. her website is <a href="http://linewtonartandphotography.shutterfly.com/">HERE</a>..<br />
She's a fantastic artist and photographer go have a look.<br />
I was Host to a Weekend Challenge at an Artist site called WetCanvas some weeks ago. One of the references I posted for the Artists was a photo taken by my daughter of Julia in her Tutu, When I saw this painting that Li had done of her, I just had to have it, a birthday gift to myself .(big smile) Isn't it gorgeous LOL!!!Shezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01268607773570160085noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23081480.post-89677347914296956752011-08-09T07:51:00.002-07:002013-11-29T01:27:38.912-08:00Mr.Musselman Champion Standardbred Trotter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi there, just a quick note.....<br />
Just adding an update to the previous post of this gorgeous boy.....Did some cropping, and adjusting, to see what the drawing would look like set up. So thought I'd post it for you to see how we fiddle at times, yes, I'm playing again. Hey I own up to it. That's just the way I am. What's a girl going to do.....???? (smile)<br />
It's another beautiful day here again, so, I'm on my way out. Got my camera with me. Yes, I'll be looking at more flowers for sure. Just can't stay away from them. I love flowers, can you tell...... Have a good day you all!!!!<br />

Posting another painting.... There was a Challenge on WetCanvas-an Artists site- recently to paint a portion of an image of this gorgeous horse, be it abstract, macro, what have you.<br />
So this is what I did.......<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kCg1lM-v4ow/Tj8DuQ9E4nI/AAAAAAAABm8/CIGYnP2QG4c/s1600/WDEJun+2011MrMusselmanChampStandardbredTrotter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kCg1lM-v4ow/Tj8DuQ9E4nI/AAAAAAAABm8/CIGYnP2QG4c/s1600/WDEJun+2011MrMusselmanChampStandardbredTrotter.jpg" /></a></div>
This was done in my Scratchbook with Water Color Pencils. Not that familiar with the medium, especially when wet. But I like how this turned out, many layers, about 2 hrs or so.<br />
As you can see the horse is a Champion Standard bred Trotter.<br />
I sure would love to see him race!!!!Shezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01268607773570160085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23081480.post-70235850301433895642011-08-06T05:28:00.003-07:002014-09-02T18:23:38.850-07:00Delphiniums Summers Delight<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love Delphiniums. I wait every year for them to start blooming. This is a painting I did on impulse, painted quickly, without thinking about it too much. It's a study, for a larger format that I'd like to do. Wanted to see what kind of composition might work for them.. Will have to think on it for a few days, or weeks .......LOL<br />
I like to post so I can see what it looks like from a different perspective.<br />
Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!!!<br />
