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!

Making a Mess to Stay Clean Art Every Day 252

My nieces painted aprons with me!  They are so cute and creative, it was so cool to watch each of their processes.  M- didn't want her colors to touch, and B- wanted to watch them all mash together.

 

Flight Art Part 3 Art Every Day 247

Today was a great day for painting indoors...cozied up surrounded by colors, brushes and just my imagination to entertain me. I worked on the flight painting I've been dabbling with lately...not sure exactly where it's going, I wonder if it is looking a bit over-worked, who knows, its been FUN.

Okay I've been trying to upload a picture for 15 minutes. I give up tonight. Try again tomorrow!

 

****HELLO!  It's the day after tomorrow...sorry.  I'm not sure what was going on, but I couldn't upload A-N-Y pictures yesterday and the day before!!  aarrrggghhh.

The more I look at this the less I like it.  I don't hate the whole thing, but the white circles in the lower portion are too fat.  I'll see what I can do sometime this week.

Flight Art Every Day 242

Okay so do you remember this painting?  I didn't really either.  It was going nowhere, had no life, and I put it aside for almost 7 months. 

Today I picked it up.

It is no way shape or form finished, but I feel like it might actually become something one day.

You saw the first layer...here is the second...

 
and the third...or its current state...

 

Catching Up Art Every Day 210-217

So, here I am...playing catch up.  The past week has been crazy busy, I managed to work on a few things, but put off posting in exchange for a few extra minutes of sleep.  Things are starting to feel back to normal...what's that??

211 My first attempt at a linoleum block carving, loved it and want to do more!

Experiments in Paper Cloth Art Every Day 180

Today I have been making a huge Paper Cloth, tomorrow I plan to make more too!  Today's is 16X20, after it dries I want to cut it up and then sew it back together into some combination.  I haven't totally figured that part out yet...

 

The blocks I cut out from this one will be 4X5, and maybe tomorrow's will be 4X4.

Birdcage WIP Art Every Day 175

Todays adventure includes this piece.  Although it is not done yet, I am liking the direction so far.

Mixed media: paint, recycled scraps, pencil, stamped images and more.  "the truth will set you free"

I was going for a kind of limited color scheme, and NOT allowing myself to use any white.(not the greatest picture) We will see how that goes tomorrow too.  Tonight my head is just too darn full to think about this piece any more.
