Spring has not sprung.

We are still getting snow! I hate the cold wet winter give me sunshine and yellow flowers please.

I'm still behind on Lifebook, trying to catch up this is one of the classes I did this week. Didn’t turn out like I hoped but its ok. Anyone else as behind as me?

And this is just a doodle I did in front of the TV. I left the books ribbon in the scan but never mind. Also the pens I used are rubbish.

 

Finally finished!!

 

I have been working on this for weeks! I don’t know why I don’t think I was enjoying this class (Game Piece & Game Board with Kelly Hoernig lifebook2013)

But oddly enough I like it now I have finished.

The cards have my goals on for the year. Makes them feel more real now. I love how art dose that. Get out of head get on to something real.

 

This is just a another whimsy girl. I hate the hair.  

Just scraping by.

Only having a few minutes here and there where I feel like I can do art. 5 to 10 minutes is better than nothing I suppose.

This is a class from life book  scales of light. In case you can’t tell that is a drawing of my baby in the corner based on ultrasound pictures (see last week). I don’t think this is ‘good’ but I love it. Was fun and I love that baby made it in to my art.

 

And this is just a 10 minute doodle in front of the TV. On tissue paper just some thing other then plain paper.  

The big secret revealed …..

Yeah so the big news is I'm pregnant with are first child. Bit of a shock but me and my husband couldn’t be happier.

This sometimes means that I get tired early in the evening and that’s why I haven’t been making much art. I have been told that I should stop being so sick and tired in the next few weeks so hopefully I will get back on top of things soon.

 

Here is my attempt a whimsy.  She’s painted on cheap drawing paper that caused a whole load of problems even after a healthy helping of gesso. Note to self stop being so cheap.

An unexpected, unwanted brake.

I haven’t been up too much art lately, can’t really talk about why yet but hopefully I’ll be able to tell you more in 2 weeks’ time. Exited!

 

Any way this means that I'm really far behind in my art classes and projects.

 

This is week 2 from lifebook. I don’t like it at all but at least its pushing me to try new things.

Week 3 life book the tin foil flowers  again I'm not found of this page but it’s something new to try.

 

 

And this is some homework for a ‘class’ called angles in Architecture. This class feels a lot more like a project then a class but so far I'm enjoying it.  

Now if you will excuse me I have a lot of neglected art blogs to catch up on. Will make more of an effort to post soon.

 

My best painting ever!!!

So I haven’t had much time this week to do art, well I have had time but I have been napping instead. Bad me.

But what I have made this week I love love love!  I think she is the best painting I have ever done! So pleased with her.

As you know I'm doing lifebook this year but this is from another class tam offers, art heart and healing  and its a free one!!!  So I thought ok ill have a go and I'm so glad I did. Did I mention how much I like this painting?

Haven’t got much else to say… I hope everyone is still having a grate 2013.

Best 2013 ever!

So, so far this year (5 days in) 2013 has been brilliant. Way better than 2012. So glad to have a fresh start.

I told you in my last post I was starting Lifebook 2013. I'm really enjoying it. We had a warm up project then a main project this week ‘celebration & journey ‘.  Where we were meant to make some art to represent are journey through 2013. We are supposed to write on are resolutions but also what we have to empower us now.   

 I decided to do a hot air balloon and sky lanterns as on New Year’s Eve we write are hopes or wishes for the year (we had amazing news on New Year’s Day which fulfilled one of our wishes, unable to tell you right now but I will as soon as I can) I don’t think I want to write on it. What do you think?

 

 I have had lots of time this week to do art so I have picked my favourites for my blog.

This was inspired by a long walk I went on with my husband we got lost in the woods and then we saw a deer being chased by a tiny dog. It was worth getting lost and dirty. (my husband thinks this looks more like a dog….I think he might be right)

 

This was an attempt at abstract flowers. I don’t  really like it but I did have a lot of fun getting messy on this page.

This is a cave I think…it’s just an abstract place some place safe.

 

 I hope everyone is having an amazing 2013, happy New Year!!
