The Clown - Part 5

There's a misconception about chickens. I know this because the other day I picked up a dozen eggs (our chickens are molting and not laying much) and the container said "laid by vegetarian chickens" on it. Well, unless those chickens are in a completely sterile environment, there's no way they're vegetarian. Chickens love to eat bugs and other small critters. Just the other day Dave saw Phyllis running around the yard with all the other chickens pursuing her. She had what was either a mouse tail, a lizard tail, or a snake hanging out of her mouth. And I tell you what, that girl can run!

Run...gulp...run...gulp...gulp...run...run...gulp...done!

Vegetarian, I call fowl play. (See what I did there?)

And I finished this painting. What a fun piece!

"The Clown"

I painted the other two balloons.

I added a couple of elements to her face.

I outlined the balloons.

I added some fun reflection marks on
her outfit, her hat, and on the balloons.
I decided that the balloon strings
could simply be implied.

Daisies - Part 2

I got my hair cut today. My long bangs are no longer so long. My hope is that I will now be able to see my creepy family when they sneak up on me and try to scare me...which happens a lot! I told my little guy about how proud I was of my new scare proof haircut.

Little guy: "That's not gonna help, mom."

Well, maybe. I'm sure I won't have to wait long to find out, knowing my guys.

And here's my finished daisies painting. I think daisies spread happiness wherever they go!

"Daisies"

I added color to the flowers and stems.

I added another layer to the background,
worked on the water in the vase,
and added another white layer to the flowers.
I also changed the height of the vase and
lowered its base.

You can see a bit of a splatter in the previous
stage. Rather than cover it up I decided to add more
splatters! I also began adding some gray to the
petals to give them more definition.

I've been incredibly inspired by a class taught by Pauline Agnew. I encourage you to check it out!

Orange Burst - Part 2

I like surprises. And today I got one. I went to the cupboard to get a glass for some water and right there with the glasses was a milk carton.

Me: "Um, there's milk in the cupboard."

Little guy: "Oh, did I put that in there? My bad."

Me: "No problem. It's still cold."

Glad to know I'm not the only one to "put things away" in funny places.

And I finished "Orange Burst". Here's the finished painting and below are the last few stages.

"Orange Burst"

I added more details to the background and the flowers.

I worked on the jar hopefully making it look like glass.

I decided it needed one more flower at the top
and the spot on the bottom right needed to be
a flower rather than a sun spot.

We hope you'll go check out our show this month! Details are here.
