Southern Magnolia Take 4

I had no plans for this painting when I started (just practice getting my feet wet again) but I think I have already found it a home (guest bathroom)!  Darn if I always end up loving the paintings on odd size canvases.  Framing will be a chore. :(  I am not allowed to buy canvases anymore without standard size frames available!

Southern Magnolia - Take 3

I love documenting a painting's progress!  It never gets old (to me)!

Southern Magnolia - Night 2 (and my new student)

I have a student in the art studio these days.  I think he is beginning to like it...the bone helps. (Meet Brody!)

Southern Magnolia

I've wanted to paint the magnolia photo mentioned in this blog post for awhile now.  In fact, I am horrified to say it seems like yesterday but it was 2 years ago.  Scholastic activities ARE over...so here we go!

Let the fun begin!

Business Cards

I cannot remember how long ago I first mentioned business cards.  Exactly one day after I finished my last final, I designed two! They came in this week.  Thanks to Tiny Prints for the $20 gift card.  Two of my very favorite pictures are on the cards.  Not sure when I will be using them...but good to have nonetheless!

The back is precious with a leaf imprint design.  I am not showing the picture because my phone number is listed and I am not sure I want to broadcast that on the web quite yet, especially with the spam messages I've received lately.

I will be learning Photoshop soon to edit pictures.  I AM SO EXCITED.  Maybe I can channel the inner nerd from middle school.  I had a website on geocities and made graphics of animals and my friend and I would "adopt" them out to homepages.  Too much info?  :)  I purchased the software with my student ID.  I have to live it up while it lasts. :)

Not exactly art

I have done absolutely no painting in MONTHS.  You haven't missed anything.  Great news is I picked up a little something on my way to class Monday.  I hope it is my ticket to painting again.  ONE MONTH.

I was thinking today at lunch of an old blog post on my yard and my resodding.  Gosh, it was almost exactly 2 years ago. 
Happy Spring!
