Well back at it again, trying to work on my tiger who I haven't looked at and been ignoring for over a month.  So got to get back into the groove on fur and the color combination - hence the reason they say you should write it down when you are in the moment. 
Am going to run to sit out on the porch, below freezing this morning and now it's 64 on the porch, so for the end of November, just got to get a glass of wine and sit out and enjoy it, but unfortunately got to clean it up first.
Good to be back working on this guy, he is growling at me again so that means I'll have to try to steal lots of crazy mintues to work on him a little bit at a time as I really would like to get him done before I start on my friend's dog.  Got her drawn up and want to do her in pastel, probably will work them both together, but no more today, once it is too cold on the porch I'll be setting up my tree, Christmas is only 30 days away - ooh, then it's the new year 2013, boy where did this year go.

Hope you all have a great painting week and thanks for stopping by.

Hello Nelvia
  and welcome back to the tiger! The tiger is very spectacular! Understand it is a hard work of attention!
Yesterday I was a bit 'away from the computer and tried a yet another reorganization of my studio! The more I paint, the greater the chaos!
Have nice week start!Hugs,Rita.

Magnolia Blossoms Acrylic 11"x14" “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”   - Bob Ross I thought this was a wonderful quote.  I don't know if it has happened to you, but people say, oh you are so talented.  Not true, couldn't be farther from the truth, although I am sure there are many artists who do possess that something extra, something special.  But for the most part for the rest of us, it is just a matter of studying,  learning your  tools and materials, practicing, and then start to trust your inner self.  I am on a journey to try to find my voice.  Not that I am a late bloomer, but I should have already found it, yes?  I guess what I am really looking for is the way I wish and want to paint.   Not necessarily how I have been doing it. I am pleased with this piece.  Many thanks to Sanne who put this wonderful reference piece up at PMP.  Personally I think Magno...

DAY 19 Noise

Image
Noise I have noticed, now that we live out of the hard core suburbia, how much we get quiet.  I mean actual quiet, no kids, no dogs, not cars, not motorcycles, no sirens, etc. etc.  How many waves, noise carrying waves, go through our bodies every day.   Phone, radio, tv, fiber optics, microwave, etc. etc.   Can that really be good for us? Anyway, I never know what I am going to get and this was a pretty quick one since I had a big time work day, for me.   But I got some really clean windows - am really ready for Fall, wish the temperature could understand how ready I really am for Fall!!. Thanks much for stopping by.

Nicolae's GF Laughing Giraffe mixed media portrait

Image
Nicolae's Giraffe Over the years we have decided the places we like to visit and have gone back multiple times.   In this day and age I think it is uncommon that in a hotel environment the workers would have been there 10-35 years.  So friendships develop.   Each of the people we have encountered have made our stays extra special in a variety of ways.   One of the ladies that works the check in desk had a baby last year.   Since we were unable to go in November we just saw her when we were in DC.   He is now 14 months, and in love with giraffes.  She has a yellow and gray nursery decor and I wanted to do a giraffe.   Wasn't sure if it should be the "kiddie" kind, but thought he might outgrow it.   So I decided to do one semi realistic so that he wouldn't outgrow it right away.  Aren't they just the strangest looking animal? I always wish I would keep my mouth shut, because it does worry me when I say I will paint something - it ...
