"THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE--AREN'T "THINGS"'--(quote stuck in my head this morning)
Good Happy Morning!! I got up this morning, and while watching Nash Bridges (
LOVEEEE DON JOHNSON)...I painted 3 of my little paintings on wood. In the hour that the show was on, I got all of these done. I just slapped the paint on, really not thinking much at all. Maybe if I thought about every little brushstroke--I could have done better...but maybe not.
Last night, this new show came on ..it was called The Philanthropist. I started watching it, while sitting and working on art dolls, and it had a pretty good story line--and a cute guy-lead character. I had seen him before--and couldn't place him..it was literally driving me insane. I thought and thought and thought about it. Then it hit me. He was the same actor that played King Edward in the movie "A Knight's Tale". I liked him in that movie, and now, I guess I have yet ANOTHER silly
tv show to watch. If you get a chance, watch the show--it looks like it may turn out to be a good one!!
Nothing much else is happening--Nature Boy is building Robots, and making wood backgrounds for some new assemblage pieces, and I am working fervently to get pieces for this week's art market. I like having to get a certain number of pieces for an event, and Thank the Good Lord Above, that so far, I am able to work, and keep up. A lot of artist have trouble doing a show or two, and I am fortunate to be able to do a "show" EVERY WEEK. That's what I am grateful for today!!
I hope you all have a creative, happy day!

This is the rest of what I accomplished yesterday. I got 3 more little paintings done, and another art doll finished. The doll is built into a lantern...it was great fun to make!!
Aren't they wonderful????? I love them..Click to enlarge. The second one has a robot dog even...LOL..

Made with an old tin can, a print of one of my collages, metal mesh, old book pages, hand painted linen, a light socket part, and old watch, a metal bracelet, a tin candle holder, and a doll. The doll is completely repainted-- the entire piece is sealed. Skirt wraps around "scene".
omg!! This picture DOES NOT do the doll justice!! It is so bright!! I will have to take another picture in the morning for you all, but it is finished. I just have to sign it, tag it, and pack it up!!..VERY VERY GOOD DAY!!!!
Here's my second piece for today. It's titled "First Class Male". It's about 14 inches tall, and about 9 inches wide.
This is my assemblage piece. I used a very old doll head, which I painted, and then distressed, and old found objects. It is titled "Daddy Left When I was 8".
Close Up of inside.
Well..working on another piece--so, I am going to run back to the studio.
The fly guy above and the horse below are 12 x 12 on wood. I collaged the fly, and painted his head on...the horse one started out as a field of flowers...go figure...
This is a close up of the fly guy above...
This is called the Juggler, he's 7 x 12 inches on wood.
The chicken is also 7 x 12 on wood.
That's all..I have to get ready for bed!! 4AM comes early tomorrow! Live Artfully!
