A quick pic using my Prismacolors on Bristol smooth....

Prismacolor pencils in my hand

Very proud of myself, finally getting back into using my prismacolor pencils... The veggie jar was done on bristol smooth and the cowboot was done on pastel paper... I love the texture it gave the jeans and when blended it made the boot a leather texture. Once again when it gets online I see a few things that need to be changed... But I love these none the less! Yeah! I'm back, I hope...

A sketch from 20 years ago!

A small sketch I did a long time ago. I burnt the edges of the paper as something different. This was probably one of the first times I tried sketchy the human body, I still struggle with it.

Getting back to it

trying to get back into the swing of my pencils again. I really do enjoy using these pencils and when you use the blender how it just pops!

Stuck

This is oil... I have got some base parts done and would like to start details, the right side has trees that I didn't even attempt.... for some reason I have quit this one. On to others and maybe I'll be back. I'm feeling the need to use color pencils again.

What have you been up to lately?

Here's a look at a painting I did on canvas for my living room. Is ok-

Not the best thing I ever did and not the worst. Heh!
I'm still working on my other painting of a landscape from Ireland, for some reason it has just gone down hill. I'm stuck, but no biggie, I'll get back to it again soon. Now I'm working on other projects, sewing, etc. Merry Christmas to all!

Moody and "in progress"

Wow, it has been waaaaaaay too long since I've been on here. i actually have been painting. I've been attempting to paint larger. As I've said before I like instant gratification. So painting larger scale is a lot different for me. I get a bit impatient. I like the details... and I always want to get to that first, and we all know, you can't really do that if your going for realistic scenes..... I'm waaaaaay behind. I've been working on The Virtual Paintout of North Ireland. Which was last month. This month is Nova Scotia. Plus I went and bought a large canvas today, approx. 30 x 40... Yike! I'm going to attempt an abstract for my living room. I'm thinking something like this:

Credit where credit is due here, http://www.ballarddesigns.com/ or maybe a landscape.... not sure yet.

Down below is an oldie but a goodie I did about 7 years ago this month. I was newly pregnant with my first boy and ohhhhhhh sooooooooo first trimester sick.

Off I go to work some more on my oil painting. I will get some "in progress" pics up soon.
