happy tuesday

more virtual painting

I am so addicted to the iPad brushes application.

So when it is tv time I just sketch as I watch.

Pulled these bust and santos images from google...

and they are not mine but hope I have altered them enough

to be ok - just for me to doodle on.

 It is very therapeutic to work on the faces
and mold and give highlights.

She looks a little out of this world-
may have gone too far.
Oh well just having fun and trying not to over think.

finally a heart rock

one of my students brought me this rock at recess,

then threw it on the ground...

hmmm i couldn't just let it sit there 

as i never find heart rocks...

so it now sits at home happy as a rock.

on spring break this week

and my brain is definitely on spring break - 

'nuf said.

Happy Easter!

He is risen indeed!

'tis the season

Zoe finally got all 30+ stitches out,

the cone of shame off,

and promptly disguised herself as a bunny 

so we would not recognize her.

Matteo joined in the fun 

and quickly realized it was a mistake.

Any easter bunnies hopping your way?

what can I say?

I missed most of artfest...

went home sick on friday

and can hardly think of it 

as the missed opportunity depresses me so.

 so i sat in bed and pulled out the iPad and doodled...

 and doodled some more jesse reno style...

 and bird doodled...

and i still feel lousy,

but maybe i will be able to share the one class i took later

when i stop feeling so sorry for myself ;(

artfest here I come...

artfest - 

that word causes the heart to pound

and eyes to start twitching.

too exciting for words 

or sleeping for that matter...

these jumbles of string and paper and buttons

were attached to plaster 

and magically morphed into my trades

which are packed and waiting to be given away.

not sure what they are but that is the fun of it.

now onto packing my supplies...

so many items needed

and you all know by now that I have an obsession

with supplies and art desks and brushes and...

well guess I better pack some clothes too...

if there's room.

so tomorrow I am off across the water to Port Townsend 

to the very last artfest.

I promise to bring back lots of wonderful inspirations

from my 3 classes by

Mary Beth Shaw,

Mindy Lacefield

and Orly Avineri.

must sit down to catch my breath!
