For the love of a pug

I don't want to go on and on about this dog but it never ceases to amaze me the things she gets herself into. So I accidentally left the door open to the art room while I showered. Once I returned I discovered that someone had been sly and snuck a bottle of paint. No evidence mind you!
Thank goodness I wasn't gone long and she hadn't ingested much. Little stink, here is the bottle. I had to tape it..lol
Then she had the nerve to sit there and look all innocent when clearly she is guilty!I'm glad I had just taken the sheets off the bed and thrown them in the washer.
It's Friday! Whoo hoo weekend! have a great day everyone!

Dream

Geeze, I finally finished this. I started it a week ago and just never got back to it.. I got busy or should I say side tracked making other things.
So today is my baby's 16th b-day and he asked me to do him a painting and this is what I came up with. I chose a 3 color palette to match his room. I hope he likes it.

Happy Birthday Taylor!

My little dream

I have a little dream of a little cottage in the country with a little garden full of fresh vegetables and herbs. Beds full of flowers and beautiful greenery. Nestled in the trees within the back of the garden is my little pond. Beside the pond is my little cottage of dreams. I walk in and before my eyes is my little piece of heaven. It's wonderfully painted walls, crisp little curtains blowing in the breeze. All of my favorite little pieces of art surround me. I turn on my music you know the kind that touches your soul and makes your creative spirit soar. I light my favorite scent of the day and today it is cucumber apple..mmmm it smells so fresh and clean. I walk over to the sink and glance out of the little window and watch the bunnies dance in the garden. I love the bunnies, I always leave the bottom few tomatoes for them to munch on so they don't destroy the rest of my savory vegetables. I make myself a nice tall glass of raspberry iced tea. "Hmmm it's such a beautiful day." I think to myself and then it hits me. My next little piece of creativity. What will it look like? Will it be pink or green or many colors? Will it be textured or smooth? Will it be like everything else or will it be completely different?

I walk over to my art table and take a seat. I reach for a canvas and begin to prime it with gesso.

Humming to the tune on the radio and in my own little bliss a little bird flies through the window. He sits in the window sill studying me as I work. I wonder what this little bird is thinking? Oh no he is flying over here! Ohhh little bird! you stepped in my paint! Well I may as well use your little feet since you've already gone and done it. Silly little bird.

Now how does this all turn out? I guess I will just have to go with it and see what comes of it.

Coffee theme

My latest. This one is coffee theme and I am not quite finished but I wanted to get something up. I will post it again once it is completely finished. Everytime I do this it gets easier. I can't wait to start another one.

My daughter and I went messing around yesterday and spent some time at Borders, that was fun. I could spend hours in there. Lots of money too! ha ha Our mission was a photo shoot but we didn't get much of that done.. lol
