I'm an art making machine.

So this week I have had really good health 90% of the time so I have been able to make art almost every day!!

I'm so happy. Not all of the work I have produced has been a masterpiece, but I do feel as though I have progressed leaps and bounds this week.

I highly recommend Kat McBride as a teacher.

Here is some of the work I have done this week.

Both of these are ‘homework’ from my life book class. The painting over a photo was a lot harder then I thought I just couldn’t get it to look right. (It’s a self-portrait from one of my wedding day pics in case you’re interested)

 

The heart connections class I made a lot of mess and I'm not happy with the outcome. Still fun trying.

 

This is a quick purple face that I did I was quite happy with it at the end of last week, but now I see all the flaws. But never mind because……..

 I made this! Yes me! With a litter guidance from Kat McBride face painting class. I'm so proud of it, yes she is a WIP needs better hair and her eyes look like they have no lashes, But I'm still super happy with her. She didn’t even take that long for a masterpiece (about two hours the last painting I loves this much took 5 hours). Love love love it!

Pregnancy is a big thing.....

So I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately with the whole pregnancy. I feel like both other people and myself are second guessing everything I do or plan for this baby. That’s what this page is about.

It’s going to be a big change and it will be hard but I need to believe that I can do this.

It’s also my homework for Lifebook 2013 (still way behind) Unstumpification with Jane Davenport.  Your meant to use magazine images to copy from but the only magazines I had about where pregnancy ones.

I really like the way this turned out its not perfect by any means but it’s good for me.

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.
