Watercolor Painting - Beautiful Ladies

Meet Bertha

Watercolors 

I couldn't sleep last night so I went into my home art studio at 1:30 a.m.  I sketched this pretty lady.  Today after book binding class I was excited to get her painted.  I seem to be painting a lot of beautiful ladies so I am going to be naming them.  After all, I love these ladies!

Book Cover

Reading this really brought a huge smile to my face!

Gonna use it to cover one of my art journals!

My Movie Critique

Brooklyn
2015

An Irish immigrant (Saoirse Ronan) in 1950s New York falls for a tough Italian plumber (Emory Cohen), but faces temptation from another man (Domhnall Gleeson) when she returns to her homeland for a visit.  

I have seen this movie THREE times, and each time I give it FIVE STARS!!!

Sketch of a Fairy Princess

I sketched this fairy princess a couple of years back and finished it with Prisma Pencil.  (I will find and post that finished picture).  I covered the back of the sketch with a bright green soft pastel paint in order that I can transfer this sketch to any media paper to paint.  

It's on the schedule!

Other People's Words That Move Me - Poetry

The Poetry of Mary Oliver

"My work is loving the world,

Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird - 

Equal seekers of sweetness, 

Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. 

Here the clam deep in the specled sand . . . ."

Other People's Words That Move Me

I try to remember this when I think of my art goals and am feeling stuck.  

"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart."

by John Heywood

Pastel Painting - Beautiful Ladies

Trying to be bolder with my color choices - also trying to learn how to paint braids.  Need more practice!
