Painting Puppies | Free Notecard Download

My new favorite thing to do.

Seriously.

I heart all the dogs.

For my Mother-in-law's birthday I made her a set of note cards with these images printed on them.

------------------------------

 

Here are copies of the note cards for you to download!  Just click the image you like and print away.  If you do use them let me know, I'd love to hear how you like, and used them!

They are 8.5x11, and there are 2 per page.  maybe someone you know loves dogs, and notes from YOU!  For a great card make sure you use a great paper!

-----------------------------

These cards are free for you, for personal use.  please do not sell or distribute these cards.  Please link to me if you would like to share them in any digital way.

Thanks!

New Painting

Okay, so this painting isn't brand new.  I did it mostly last semester, but this summer I did a bit more,  So...I guess it is new, cause it is finaly finished.

It is acrylic, pieces of window screen, and graphite.

Art Every Day 2.0 | SLACK-AHOLIC!

Really, when it comes to updating I have been slacking, but let me assure you I HAVE NOT been slacking where it really counts---> in the studio!  In fact I am taking an installation class and making a mobile wearable, designing a studio installation, participating in building an installation on the porch of the art department and working on Green-ifying a shed on campus!

 

Here are some of the mobile wearable sketches, nothing special, but an idea for ya!

Art Every Day 2.0 | Making Art

This image is part of the process for me.  I have been working on a new painting so I attached a loose piece of canvas below the painting on the support structure of the main canvas. 

Anyway...I have been working with a spray bottle A LOT on this one.  SO FUN.  Of course while I am using the spray bottle there is water and paint dripping everywhere, now it is dripping down to this scrap piece of canvas!

It's like two pieces of art in one!  LOVE THAT!

This is after only a few drips, can't wait to make more today!

Where I am Right Now.

 

Art is never finished, only abandoned.

Leonard da Vinci

 

That's kinda where I am.  Resurecting a painting a I abandoned months ago (for good reason).  And in the middle of another for my painting class. 

 

The other thing I have been working on is a little (very simple) digital art, in the form of print, cut and surprise cards for my make change. project.  Here is one I made today!

 

 

Interested in participating with me to surprise and delight someone? You can click and print the card above to start making change.  There are LOTS more over here at Print, Cut and Surprise Cards!  Thay are free for you to print and pass out, but if you want to share online please link back here!
