What seven years can do!

Video of my Art Studio!

   Here is what I filmed some weeks ago. The painting in progress has now gone to the girl whose birthday present it was and I can now publish this. It was rather strange talking to a camera which I haven't really done before--and trying to be serious at the same time!

Big horse painting project

I have had this big canvass hanging about for a long time and am finally having a go at making something out of it. There's a hundred other things I ought to be working on, like a few pictures I have promised people and something to put in the shop. They will be done. Just...later...

What I do when I don't know what I'm going to paint

All that I accomplished yesterday in an afternoon.

Many more hours to go.

Here's what I produced from that photo. The painting was inspired by this video, as soon as I saw it I wanted to do something like that and immediately began. I learn allot from watching these speed drawing/time lapse videos on You Tube, they are very helpful and fun!

So here is my picture, I did it in pastel and pastel pencil on pastel paper, which is very similar to sand paper. 

About Ink Drawings and a Cute Little Shop

  I'm sorry I haven't been able to post my ink sketches for over a week, but I have been doing them! I bought two new pens so my inspiration has been refreshed. It is SO uninspiring trying to draw with a lumpy ball point pen which is running out of ink! I will take photos of them all when Dad comes home with the camera.  :)

  I have put some of my work in a little craft shop, co-op, in our little local town. Yesterday I went in for a training day as I am going to work in there two days a month.

Isn't it such a cute li'l shop!

   And guess what. I sold a painting!! And it had been hanging for only a couple of hours. And to a man who doesn't like horses, so he said! This is the one he bought, it was my first oil painting of a horse. I painted it last year, about this time.
