Moving Forward

Whenever I haven't painted for a while, I have to move slowly back into it, and that's what I did this morning.. From some photos I took when I went to Savannah,  really Tybee Island.  
They are small … 5x7's, but I was comfortable painting them. 

And BTW if you ever come to Florida this is the best time of the year. It couldn't be better than April/May.. Sunshine, no heat, no humidity. 

Beautiful blue skies, and everything is bloomin'.. 

OK, that's my work for the Chamber of Commerce.  LOL !!!  

A Few

I did make a video and explained about a couple of these journals.  One is the very first I made back in 2002, and another is the smallest I ever made . I think the vid is about nine minutes long. It went just fine from my camera to my computer.  But when I went to upload it here it said the file was too large.  OK.  And when I tried to put it on U Tube ,,, I started it at 8 p.m.. Wed. evening and the next morning Thursday it was still unloading.  WHAT? LOL!

Saying I know nothing about  doing this is an understatement . If I learn to cut the video shorter I may be able to do it that way. 

In the meantime I've found something I may paint.. We'll see how it goes.. Stay tuned. 

Makes Me Smile

After I made this color chart, I thought it made a good skirt for 

my art mannequin .  Oh yeah, I tried to upload a new video with several of my art journals and it wouldn't do what I wanted.

So it turned into a mannequin with a skirt. I'll try working on the vid again.. thanks for your patience.

A couple of my paintings done in the past, but I've been selling some of my older work on my Etsy shop.   They aren't doing anything but lying in a file.   

Journal Jive Video !!

Posting the almost finished journal as a test . I don't think I've  posted a video on here before. Could be that I just forgot?  Testing it out as I'd like to do some tutorials on U-Tube on both my 
Watercolor and Journal Making.. For myself I make my journals with vintage ephemera because it's what I like.  I found lots of others do also.  The paper is coffee dyed,  looks old and (smells delicious)! It's an easy procedure.   
Hope you enjoy this .
