I'm having trouble updating this blog (since Facebook came into the picture), so I'm trying a new 'thing'. I'm going to post once a month of what I've been up to creatively.
In the first week I had my paints out and I always get Spring fever this time of year (if you live in a cold weather climate, you know what I'm talking about)--so I painted Spring--

Once I had the paint out I did what I always do and started playing with it. I do that with mostly white cardstock (110lb) --I don't need to think about it and try different techniques--if I don't like it--it's just paper--no big deal.
So with those papers and one of my favorite surfaces to work on and repurpose--a cabinet door--I made some new neighborhoods--Love making houses--
And at the end of the month I had a request from a poppy lover for 3 different pieces--
These were all started with a layer of collage (text pages) and then I painted over them with acrylics. I like the texture the printed text gives under the paint.
In between all of this, I've been cleaning and decluttering my art space (which in my case, is my whole house) and I have been listing in my Etsy shop--my latest listings--

So that's my art month in a blog post. This is not my favorite time of year--weather wise--I hate the cold, and I become a hermit, but it's also in a way, my favorite. There's not a lot going on, so I spend more time in my studio, which is definitely my happy place!
