trying something new. a finished painting lol

Good monday everyone!  I have definitely out done myself these past couple of days.  I actually finished a painting. a small painting but finished none the less. it has been a long time since i have been able to just paint  and i am glad.  This is not normally my style of painting but i saw this piece of wood and i was feeling very summery...(is that a word? lol) and this is what came about.  Though we live near beaches, the sand is what gets to me.  oh sand everywhere plus the boys hair will have sand for what seems like weeks, no matter how well i wash them  haha  well we do love the beach so it is worth it.  This is my Wind Water and Freckles girl hope you enjoy her.

ATC Addicted

 ..this is what i have been arting since we were all huddled up in the house and could not go anywhere.  It was a struggle! Yes the house is messy my kids are not the only ones to blame...hehehe(shh i did not just admit that)  But as anyone who has ever had kids knows the feeling of just turning a blind eye..  I do find when i have been a little artistic that helps me open up more to keeping on task at home..isn't that weird?   hehe well that is my excuse and i'll run with it.  I have been arting while the kids have been sleeping which is no easy task when i want to curl up and do the same, but when i have the quiet time i have that urge to pick up pencil and paper.  I finished 2 more atc's that are on their way to the owner and i can show y'all since my friend is not a blogger but she is an awesome artist..  i am rather happy with them.    hope you like them as mush as i do.  and please your comments will be most welcome.  oh and i do reply! p.s.  click to view larger oh and visit artists in blogland image!

Had to tiltle this one "Art is my Religion"
Don't ask me why but when i finished her i just loved the title..

And this is the seond face.  she is stamped and markered up and oil painted with a little bling

And this is my new project! a home made recycled Smash Book.  I am so excited about this project. now  i have a place to stick things that i dont want to let go but dont really have a place to put . I am getting there i have been working on my art journal too but have not had the chance to take pics may in the next day or 2.  Well now i have to wrangle up the kiddos and brush teeths because mom will be arting soon...I hope...hehe


I am adding this to creative every day ( and y'all should go check out everyone else whom has participated too, a little inspiration couldn't hurt)because i think i did well when everyone was down under  lol  and i was still able to create.  i am very proud of myself( can't you tell)  lol
