RIP Staccato

 

The neighbor's horse, Staccato, and his friends, often escaped their corral and dined on the grass right outside my studio. I loved to watch them and hear them. I gave the neighbor this little picture of him as I heard he had to be put down. He lived to be 27. I was a little embarrassed as I came to find out this is not Staccato but another one of their horses. Oh well, I gave them the picture      
     anyway. I  hope they'll get a chuckle out of the story.

How Am I?

Doodled and filtered

Had fun in Deb's class today. We doodled. I have no problem letting the paint go where it wants. Came home and ran a couple of the pieces through the filters.

New Pathway

Been taking lessons from a master watercolorist, Marge. Love her. We're working on creating path pictures. Here's my first new practice piece.

Order from chaos

Had a wonderful Mindfulness group yesterday. Deb's topic was 'chaos/order'. I painted a few versions of my take on that. I found it more challenging to paint the chaos part. When I got home I took photos then ran them thru the edit program. Not every picture benefits from the filtering. Interesting

 

Is this cheating?

 

I'm had fun turning my practice piece into something more interesting with a photo editing app.
Am I cheating?

Don't despair-digitalize

Had fun taking a practice piece and manipulating it with a photo editing program. 

Creative Block-color less

Been feeling blocked...so I painted some blocks of color. Still feeling unfulfilled- so I turned them into black and white. Better

Me--Open Minded

Yesterday's mindfulness class structure was about drawing something in different ways. We chose an object and changed the way we drew it each time. I used myself as the subject and chose 'Open -minded' from a Deb-deck of suggestions. Here's what emerged.

Ouchee illustrated

Found a photo app that does all kinds of neat things. Here's a painting from last nite of what I imagined was happening in my leg. Effects added.

The power of doodling

Had a really rough day yesterday. Really didn't feel very creative. I knew I didn't have the wherewithall to paint a picture. So I doodled with paint. I find it very soothing to brush paint on paper. Circles fell mindless and comforting. Regardless of the result, I feel better.
