So waaaay back about 35 or so years ago, my youngest brother made me an oak chest for art supplies; he did not use nails or screws or any hardware except the drawer pulls and the piano hinge on top- it was a lovely, well-used piece of furniture. But--- It didn't like traveling all over the...

So, I saw and saved this scene somewhere along the way by doing a quick sketchy thing at the time; I think the original I saw was a painting- I don't really recall. It had to have been a few five or so years ago- pre-CoVID, likely. It's a landscape and so it languished in a pile of old...

Lookee this knife work I am absolutely gobsmacked! This is AMAZING! I SO envy this type of skill.

So I HAVE been working at the easel some- just not a lot as we use the somewhat cooler days to get work done on the house. This view is of the Huachuca Mountains and foothills which sit about 2 miles WSW of our house; this view, though, is closer, and more SSW. Most of the year, because this is...

Hope you find something you like- if not, well, let me know- I have folders and folders of pics! Looking forward to seeing what you do!

So, since finishing DH's office room, (I get a studio, he gets an "office") we have been getting the outside of the house ready to paint- exhausting work trimming back nasty mesquite trees and the rose garden, especially. In-between, I did a 10" x 10" work of the gladiolas in profile on the...

So, in-between sore knees and hips, and paint spatter in my hair, and tired-unto-death end of days as we refurbished DH's office with paint and new flooring, I managed to finish this. I like it- but there's one with the glad laying across the bowl in profile that also has possibilities. We'll see.

I LOVE interiors- I'd have a wall-full of interiors if I wanted to put that much effort into it- I just really like interiors. But I've never even sketched one- likely because I love them so much and don't want to screw up my love affair- classical 'fraidy-cat. But I took this pic of a couple...

The simplest landscape pic I've taken- it's from Sonoita Vineyards, a neato place about 30 miles as the crow flies, and an hour-fifteen by actual road. In Arizona, you can't get there from here is an actual direction. You always gotta go way over there, then up over here, then turn onto this...

Okay, I cannot help noticing people as individuals, and here's something I noticed that bothers me, another part of noticing people as actual individual people: Wayne's been MIA for over three weeks. This really bothers me. Yes, a pm here has been sent. Has anyone had contact with him?

I tried some set-ups using my cobalt glass pieces and copper pieces, and, meh, a couple came out okay- fair- but nothing special, and then I remembered the pears in the fridge and grabbed those with just a couple pieces of that blue-blue glass- it intrigued me enough to say, give 'er a go. So...

I promised myself if I finished the Iris piece without unceremoniously binning it I would try another landscape. I do that to myself every so often as a form of punishment; I *suck* at landscapes because I want the scene to look like the scene- THAT tree, THAT cloud, THAT valley. Landscapes...

Okay, well, I've been working on this for awhile but was never happy because I couldn't get the blooms shadowed appropriately against that very, very dark bkg- in order to make them melt into that bkg, I had to darken them to the point they were no longer white, not to mention, most such shadows...

Did this in a couple three or four hours while waiting for rain- which STILL is not making a proper appearance. I tire of watering the outside plants every day- sometimes twice.

So, Dear Husband has been ... not well the last week or so, so I've had a lot of extra chores to do and, of course, it's been hotHotHOT! here and heat doesn't play nice with nerve damage, so while I'd started this early last week, I could only work on it little bits at a time 'cause-- life...

It's a desert, I get it, but this year's had some pretty high temps already- records set and such- and we've only had some light monsoonal rains this past week- nothing drenching and quenching. The late last year and winter growth is crispified dry- and here comes the heat again: I think we'll...

So I set this ref up YEARS ago- have a whole lot of paintings featuring that martini glass and: a stiletto high heel, or a lily or hot peppers or a fig leaf- lots of comps. I kept this one, but I don't know why- compared to the others, it was so static- no push/pull of, well, anything. So...

This is what musical notes "look like" when played into water in a bowl. This is how the notes... shimmer and move in water. https://www.facebook.com/groups/sacredgeometryart/posts/2611061989203743/
