Thriving Art

Well, here I am trying to catch up with the  T-gang over at Elizabeth's blog .   This morning (earlier) I was set up for some devotion time and as I sat my coffee down I realized it was Tuesday, grabbed my camera and WA-LA here I am.  I had already prepped my Bible page with clear gesso and had slid a traceable behind it.  I had lightly traced it with an Inktense watercolor pencil.   How it turned out.  The opposite page is a free hand drawing.  One thing about all this is I get a LOT of practice with lettering .......as you can see I NEED it...LOL! OTHER HAPPENINGS Our oldest son and wife decided to put their home on the market and look for something a little larger.  This meant that during showings I had to get the dog, and the family was here quite a few late afternoons, while the realtor showed their home. They had it sold and found one they liked and things were about to get very serious and then the buyer of ...

Happy Tuesday folks!  Thanks for dropping by to see what I've been up to in the weeks I haven't been here in Blogland.  As you can see I'm still in the "coffee" stage of the morning as I'm trying to get set up for Bible Art Journaling with a couple of my friends. A little broader shot of the table....only halfway ready, but I really wanted to join the  T-Gang at the Altered Book Lover  with our Hosetess Elizabeth. So WHAT have I been doing? Prepare for a lot of photos........"grin" Some finished Mixed Media Paintings I finally unpacked my paints and did a little creating. I saw a photo somewhere on the blogs, of blue poppies and just had to paint some. A closer look at the background and texture created with tissue paper and designer paper.  One afternoon my friend, Mary came over and we were playing with our pallet knives.   I really do not like this painting! A closer look at the mixed media background ...

Time to share a drink and all the news with the  T-gang at Elizabeth's  where everybody is welcome and has a drink to share. I'm writing this as I am waiting for my Bible Art Journaling group to get here, as you can see things are all set up (my large bottle of water) and pretty much ready.......I'm sure I have forgotten something though...LOL! And here they come.......so will make this the shortest blog on Tuesday. I'll be around later this week to visit.

Time to share drink and food for this Tuesday's  T-day , where peeps from all over the world get together at  Altered Book Lover's blog . THIS WEEK The Mr. and I went to the Firehouse to meet up with family......well oldest son, DIL and 9 cheerleaders! The door......like an old firehouse. Inside was...............oh so nice and cool....106' outside!! The bar area has big screens playing all kinds of sport.......but we weren't three for that. They have in-house bowling lanes......there is my DIL Vanessa, and son Brian There are a couple of the cheerleaders.....Hannah had just thrown her bowling ball.

Bowling makes you thirsty..........the younger one's drinks.. The adult drinks.....the Mr. had a cold beer, the rest of us had water and ice tea. You can tell by ...

Hellooooo Monday and Blogland friends.  Just popping in to share a journal page I did last week, but didn't have a chance to share it till this morning. (the date on the page is wrong LOL) I am joining the group over at  Art Journal Journey  , where the challenge is Poetry in Motion. The background is simply tissue paper and paint.  The poem is from my electric hoarding on Pinterest...........couldn't pass it up!  I created this page to remind myself what I am NOT...how about you?
