Excuse my Muse

Please excuse my Muse as she butts in...

I was soldering away the other day..and who came in..Muse..she looked at a canvas that had been sitting on the floor staring at me for over a month..It only had the background colors and the girl/horse on it..I knew it needed more..just not what "more" it needed..But little did I know that Muse would strike~ So, I do believe it's almost finished, thanks to Her...

Have a great Wednesday :)
Waving to Andreea!! I miss you!!

Muse strikes again..

One day, she will stop and let me finish my house swap..
Here's today's urges:

Poppy Girl:

Poppy girl is on a vintage dictionary page, and I used rub-ons to accent her and add some intrest..And a whole other style of face..still working that out, but they seem to lean toward the painterly/folk art style below.


The jury is still out on this angel, I've not signed it yet, so I think I'll look at it again later and see what I need to tweek:

sorry for the blur..thought it was better than that..

Muse Attacks

I posted the other day about my muse...she keeps me from finishing things..she has struck again:


Then I had to do this one:

I'm drawn to angels..why?? Maybe, because, I believe in them. Both of these are painted with acrylics on Bristol board..I want to do more, muse, be quite...I have my glass house swap ready to glass up...so soon, I'll have that project off the studio table..and I'll quit sitting in the floor to paint, thankyouverymuch Muse for the cold butt.. I'm enjoying this folkarty, painterly style..maybe, I need to raid the wood pile for some of that to paint on?? Oh Muse! You can't keep quite, can you?

Thanks to Shannon at Faith and Chocolate Blog for the shout out about Paper Cowgirl!!

We can't wait to see you gals again!!

Have a blessed day!

Manic Art moment

Or maybe I should have called it: Manic MAIL ART moment???
Watching Chopped on Food TV is when this one hit me..right after the show got started...geesh..you'd think it would have hit me earlier in the day while I was just doing nothing..but nooooo, it had to hit then..Oh Well, I gave in:

I painted these faces on some outgoing mail, that was in the studio..one is a Swap and the other is samples for an upcoming class. I know both will be a nice surprise for them when they see it..

Faces have always been my down fall in art..I've not been good at drawing them nor painting them..but lately I've been fascinated by them and every ones works, like Sharon @ Norhas, Misty Mawn, and Campbell Jane folkart...

I've also been working on my Glass house swap..but then the muse has to jump in and wants to paint faces..my paint stuff is not set up..my glass stuff is set up..and then my muse wants to build a shrine with foam core board, wings, crowns, and a soldered piece...geeee hold your horses..I only have room for one project at a time on my work table...

To top it ALL off we are working on Paper Cowgirl every spare moment...Can you believe it's the end of January already??

Hope your staying warm were ever you are and things are going ok..

Happy Friday!!
