THREE NEW PAINTINGS!!




Hello!! I forgot to put these up..as I have been throwing away my studio this whole past week, and cleaning it up, and fighting HUGE piles of STUFF...good lord--I could make 1000 art dolls, and not touch the mess in there...I want to streamline, and ORGANIZE..Anyway..the top two paintings are 15 x 15 inches, wood, done in acrylics. The bottom one is a 8 x 8 "doodle" painting. You know--the one where I was sitting there watching tv, and swishing paint around.
We sold at our town trade day this morning. We had our stuff out about 3 hours, when we got rained out. It ended up raining all day..but I sold one piece of art, and a few pieces of good "junk". Tomorrow it's off to the Chattanooga Market..and I can't wait. I hate doing the town square thing, there is no fudge, no ice-cream, no pizza, and no one who I really consider myself friends with. Which is quite different than our Sunday Market...which has fudge, ice-cream and pizza (a junk food junkies DREAM), and it also has a wonderful air of camaraderie and friendship.
I am working on a doll...wait till you see him...HE's gonna be SO FUNNY!! He's got a fat, pouty face, and a huge squash/gourd looking body.
On the sad side..I found out today that some bad things are happening to a psycho, ex-friend of mine. I really feel sorry (as in pity) for them. But, it seems to me that you get what you deserve out of life, and what goes around--always comes around. I said my prayers for this person, wishing GOOD things for them. They have had their fair share of bad. Maybe one day, they will change the way they live, and things will get better for them. Then again, maybe not. It just makes me a bit sad.
Nothing much is going on here...Petey and Nature Boy are still having daily adventures, and I keep wishing that I was as spoiled as those two...lol..
OOOOOHHHHH!! Today, I bought an OLD METAL PETAL CAR...well, I didn't actually BUY it, but I traded an antique thingermabobber for it. It's really rusted, but in great condition otherwise..Nature Boy is going to sand it, and I am going to make it my project. I am going to paint it (like an art car, not like a paint job), and I am going to build a doll to drive it. It should make quite a statement...Of course..I am going to have to go buy a bigger vehicle just to lug it around..LOL...but, I need a bigger vehicle anyway...so..
Ok..I am just rambling..making no sense. I just missed blogging, so I came here.
Live Artfully!! ~~Suzan~~

Hi Suzan - Love the 3 pieces you have posted here :)

And the psycho ex-friend? I think we've all had one. I'm like you, I pray for them and that's that.

Now, as for the fudge, ice cream and pizza? Sunday will be here before you know it *smiles* And in between the eats, I'll be hoping you sell some art! *smiles*

Have a good one!

These are wonderful! I especially love the top 2!

I love the bird! What pretty colors and they blend so well. It sounds like you are able to let go of any hard feelings with the ex-friend so good for you. Enjoy your Sunday selling and eating!

Love the bird in the middle - can't wait to see the 'petal car"...and your "psycho" friend probably needs a good trauma therapist...people tend to act out the trauma they experienced earlier in life - retraumatizing themselves and the ones around them in the process!!!

I am so with you on the studio clean up...last night I put together my daughter's preschool scrapbook (finally - after 4 years!!!) Kindergarten is next, and the space under my desk will be free again!!!

Hope art market is a blessing to you today!

Jazz said...

I love those first two paintings...

As for the psycho - if it's who I think it is, well, what goes around comes around. I'm a firm believer in Karma.

Ces 3 créations sont superbes, j'en aime beaucoup les couleurs et également la diversité des thèmes.

Nice work and I really can relate to the piles of stuff!!! I am sure I could make 100 art quilts and not have to buy a thing......but what fun would that be???
