Tonight's Painting..15 x 15 x 3/4 on wood. Done in Acrylics..blah..blah..blah...hehehe.
And.....
WOW...It looks like a crazy person went further off the deep end, doesn't it? hahahah...I was feeling kind of nostalgic..and looking back on my works that have sold, and then started playing with Flickr/BigHugeLabs, and ended up making mosaics of my past work. There was another page, which I didn't save...but, all in all..this is most of what I have sold in the last year and few months. I made my first sale on April 30,2008. Seventeen months ago. It seems like lifetimes ago. I look at most of it, and ask myself .."How did I do that??". This all started when someone told me to start at the beginning again--after I had whined that I was uninspired.
I was uninspired because of an accidental mold situation. (Nature Boy probably thinks I am crazy..) I came back from Folk Fest about 3 weeks ago...and got sick. Then in 3 days, I was well again. Then, I got what I THOUGHT was a serious sinus infection. I was so tired all day, not in a good mood, couldn't think..and was thinking that I probably had something SERIOUS wrong with me. So, the other day, as I laid down for my SECOND nap of the day, I was thinking to myself..what have I changed in the last 3 weeks..did I put a plant in the house, did I change laundry soaps, did I start drinking/eating something different...NO,NO, NO...Then, it HIT me. A small child's table that I had put in my art room. I had bought it awhile back at a yard sale, and had my husband put it in the art room. It had been in there for about 3 weeks!!. I pulled myself up, and went to look at it, flipped it over, and there it WAS---MOLD!!! I immediately had it removed, and sprayed EVERYTHING in the art room with Lysol..and within 30 minutes, I was feeling ALIVE again. I have been so happy (to feel like I'm NOT dying is TRUELY a blessing!!)...and so..Where was I going with this story?? ...oh well..LOST THAT TRAIN OF THOUGHT..maybe I could blame it on the mold...hehehhe.
Anyway..Live Artfully! ~~Suzan~~
Hello! The top painting was shown yesterday, but I had to get up this morning, and redo the bird..yesterday's bird looked like someone had dropped a concrete block on his head, smooshing him into a warp...I like the more proportionate crow...:::smile:::. It is 15 x 15 on wood.
The one with numbers has a large metal part attached (the part has the numbers on it). All are acrylic on wood. The bottom one is painted, even though I think it looks like a collaged background.
I did all of these before yesterday. They are all 9 x12 --acrylics on wood.
This is my latest wonderful find. I traded an antique for it, one that I had bought on the World's Longest Yard Sale--the cost $10!! It's amazing. It's an old steel pedal car for children, and I adore it!! We are going to sand it, and I am going to paint it like an art car! It'll be SO COOL!! I have two options at that point--One, will be to have a sign maker do a tiny "Suzan Buckner Art" wording for the doors, and take it to art shows as my "banner"..OR to make it where it's sellable as a piece of art...Decisions, decisions...But, either way..I am excited to have it, and for the possibilities that it holds...we shall see....

Good Morning Everyone!! Well..Nothing much is going on. I have been a slug, and this is all I did last week. It's time to get busy. I have literally stopped working. I feel yucky, and unhappy, because I am not making anything. Today is going to be different. Last week, we sold at 2 different places, for 3 different days, and it tired us out. Of course--Mr. Big Man Nature Boy got 7 assemblage dolls completed, and actually sold more than I did at the Market on Sunday. He's showing me up..heheheh..can't let that happen. I am going to power paint this week. I am going to slap some major paint on some major wood pieces, and make dolls like my rear is on fire. I also have to find the time to make about 100-200 domino pendants, because I am nearly out of those too. So..I am off of here..and in the studio...Live Artfully!
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.
