It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

While I pot some paper whites for gifts

Matteo has visions of birds dancing in his head.

Closeups of three Paintings

Closeups.

Finishing these three by next weekend-

I promised myself.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Have a great turkey day!

Just some Instagram Posts

 I am painting so much this autumn,

and on track for my solo show next March.

 But that seems to lead to drinking more lattes 

(with caffeine) than I should.

But the darkness outside seems to demand it.

 Thank goodness for apps like Distressed FX

which make every photo

just a little more fun.

Hope you are staying joy filled this autumn too!

Paintings with a Cherry on Top!

I love cherries!

It seems as if others agree-

This painting sold as soon as it made it to artEAST.

 So I painted another one.

 Maybe now I will move on to pumpkins or holly...

time is moving much too quickly ;)

Issaquah Utility Box Art by Pamela Holderman-that's Me!

My paintings are up and looking beautiful!

I am so honored to have two of my art pieces 

covering utility boxes by the Issaquah Creek in Issaquah, WA.

I tell all about it here.

Hopefully they are cheering on the salmon as they make their way up creek.

Seriously it could happen ;)

iPad art Continues...

iPad art is in full swing this fall.

I just love the students' view of how the ark might have looked 

and how beautiful that garden would have been in the beginning.

We depicted creation using six layers for the six days that God created.

What a great way to teach layers to students.

And they got it!

Last week we drew Joseph and his coat.

We drew the background, then drew a stick figure Joesph and gave him pants and a shirt.

Then we created a complete design for the coat in another painting.

We put it into photos, and pulled it back onto Joseph, sized it, 

 and erased around it.  

This week we continue with Jonah inside that big fish.

I will post next week.
