Life has bumps....

Sometimes I just don't know how to say how I feel, I just need to draw it out. Then as if by magic I feel better. Emotion communicated, then peace. So randomly I have fairly dramatic cards like this. Just getting the things out that just won't be put into words for me. My emotions are loud and full of color and shapes. If I could put it into words than it wouldn't be called feelings. Everyone has their way of coping, this has always been mine.

Even More Gorey!

"He was Dancing gaily in the breeze"

"I was surprised to find him on my head!"

"O is for Ombledroom"

"Sally Slipped on a Slippery Step"

I just love Edward Gorey he is the reason I got really interested in pen and Ink in the first place, I went out and bought his book right after art class! When I got my new pens and papers I started with Edward Gorey exersizes in my sketch book to get me back in the swing of pen and ink. I get more and more into the style the more cards or pictures I do. I feel a black and white pen and ink streak coming on!

These are my first attempt at Intuitive Portraits. My pen broke on #2, I was very surprised! I think I have a few more to do before I am happy! I signed up for a few more swaps, and it seems to have fueled me on in my art just like I was hoping it would! Happy to say that I pulled out of my short funk! Back to things that make me feel good to paint! I have a work related art project to do that I am excited about! I am making an Open and Closed sign to hang in the window of the shop. I am thinking of wood burning and painting. I want to make sure it is still easy to flip and see from the street. I have just a few more things to figure. What it will hang from that is none evasive and yet will stick to glass. Simple details really but I would rather work it out now then have to rig it later. I also finished anther Greeting card, this one is fun, and I still may add a little to it. Will post when I am happy with it.

Had lots of fun with this card, close to my heart you could say! I love these they really make my day just to make them. I hope them make someone's day to receive them! The great thing about art is that on any given day it can move you, each day is different, but you always remember the feeling you got when you immersed yourself in a great piece of art.
