Finished a watercolor that I started of

Jesse a couple of years ago.  Experimenting

with backgrounds.  I painted the background

with watercolor, then layered some type and 

Jesse.

working on a couple of things

Started this of Corey yesterday.

This is yesterday

Today...layer upon layer..and this is acrylic not watercolor.

Not finished either.

The sunrise this morning.

working on watercolor of Jesse baby

beginning

a little further along

what my desk looks like when I'm working

more practice

more people practice..Jesse and Milly

Jesse was on the computer and Milly, sitting

in the chair with her, was leaning on her shoulder

watching what Jesse was looking at.

Milly really loves Jesse.

practice....practice.....

Corey

I want to do more portraits

so that''s what I did yesterday;

practice

 This looks more like the photo

really white washed

Watercolors and new Etsy listing

When we went to the beach, I decided to try and paint

while we were there.  This was a relatively quick painting.

It isn't finished but I enjoyed working on it.

 This is a watercolor I did from a photograph my nephew 

Christopher took.  Skies are difficult in watercolors.

 This is a new piece I've listed in my Etsy shop:

Hope and Faith

 I did it on a recycled Japanese 

wooden tea set lid.

I finally did it!  I opened an Etsy shop which you can visit here:  Morning Star Studio; Art by Vickie
Yay!

Working on...

 Clay piece, nothings glued down yet and it's

far from finished.  You can see the antique backplate

Chuck bought when we went to the Mt. Dora Art 

Festival.  I'm not sure I'm going to use it in this but

I do like it with the clay tiles.

The rose and antique bottle with camera case, I've gotten

a little further on.  Don't want to do anymore ornate

bottles.  Way too time consuming.

Paintings I started today

Corey's cat Alfred

Rose and antique perfume bottle with vintage camera case.

Decided to start a new blog more focused on my art.  I'm getting ready to open an Etsy shop so I thought it might be a good idea.  Been putting this off for a while but it's time to get started!
