Paint and bubbles on paper.

I decided to give bubble painting a go in an effort to break my art block and do what I need and want to do! Turns out the photos were a lot cooler than the effect dry, but this was playing and making for fun so it's ok. I'm going to start building onto these little paintings tomorrow.

I have ramped up making my no-two-identical useful art for Brewery Art Walk this weekend.

Praxis Ave Gallery
2020 N Main St (the same building Barbara's restaurant and bar is in)
Unit 227
Saturday & Sunday 11am - 6pm. There's a beer garden and food trucks and so much to see!

I was enjoying how the light was playing on this washi tape piece I made. I'm going to finish it & take it with me to Brewery art walk.
I just had the extremely alarming realization that Art Walk is only 3 weeks from now. I'll be painting like crazy between now and then!!

Sometimes we have to show the falls too: I was trying to transfer inkjet photos into my sketchbook and onto postcards. I failed. I'm sad about it because I had a project in mind for a gift... I will continue to experiment and hopefully figure out a technique that works for me.

I had a pretty rough day with my COPD/allergies, but made sure to do some new gel print collage pieces. My first time trying this technique and I REALLY like it! I'm running headlong into making the tiny paintings, bookmarks, and postcards. Tomorrow I am going to play with markers and foils!

Doing this pair of tiny paintings was so fun. I think I will do another version this weekend. Maybe a finch? Or a crab? What do you think?

This is a little painting I did with acrylics and some layers of holographic mylar just for fun. It's painted on a playing card. I quite like using playing cards as paint surfaces.

I embroidered flowers to embellish fingerless gloves for my friend. The dissolving fabric does strange things sometimes; I am never sure if the stitches will hold or if it will fall entirely apart. It held up okay, except the leaves, but I made it work and I think the final project was pretty neat!

Tiny acrylic painting of a cute giraffe wearing glasses

Today was my birthday. We enjoyed some home cooked dinner with friends and I finished this tiny giraffe painting. I'm so excited about it!

Wooden rhombohedron shapes painted with acrylic paints

My hubby made these wooden rhombohedron shapes for me quite some time ago. I treated each side with a different technique or medium. I think I will make some more of them this year. I have some ideas! 🤔

Hand painted bookmarks in progress. Mixed media.

I have been having fun making these bookmarks and be trying out different materials and styles. The big question now: how to finish them? Do I need to buy a laminator?

Adorable tabby kitten "office cat" in a blanket nest

My office assistant, Bets, is having a very chill Friday. I had to make her a little nest in a rolling cart because she was being very demanding. Now she's loving life.

Small watercolors of sheep and a lake

Instead of buying, I’m creating. It keeps me sane(r). #100tinytreasures

Tiny art - 2"x3" mixed media. Watercolor, paint markers, and Sharpie.

I decided to start an art challenge this week to push me along. This is for #100tinytreasures
I picked a 2" x 3" format and started out with watercolors, paint markers, and Sharpie.
I like these small format pieces! What do you think?

This is awesome!

It really is. Every time I get the stuff out to do a few prints it turns into a printfest for hours. Finding how the different papers work is very fun.

Sometimes it's fun to make doodles and scribbles with new paint markers! I really enjoy doing these kinds of meditative exercises in my art journal.

A mock up of a selection of merchandise options with my art printed on them. Included are journals, a big tote bag, coasters, a pill case, and greeting cards.

I'm getting excited about ordering my first line of items with my paintings printed on them. Help me decide what to order! Which item(s) would you be most interested in?

The lilac is one of my favorites. Does it want a cute pet or an underwater creature though? 🤔

They are really cute. I think they look like they are wearing very stylish goggles.

This is my workspace today. I'm trying to shake myself back into regular painting but it's always a bit of a slow start. What does your workspace look like?
