word art
I have been in the art mood lately, amd have a 5x7 (fooot, not inches) canvas to prove it...except the canvas is blank. It is not easy to do art with two boys aged one and four! So instead, I focus on mini art projects; my new favorite is postcard art. I also am always inspired and moved by song lyrics so I wanted to incorporate the two. Who knew http://inspiration-avenue-team.blogspot.com would be doing word art this week? So I am linking up with a simple postcard except drats...I misquoted the lyric a bit. I guess I should not work from memory. Nevertheless, it is a song by artist Dido; the song is one of a few which truly relaxes me so it holds importance. Here it is...

golden fall
I am linking up to Inspiration Avenue to showcase a favorite season...autumn.
Recently, I drove through the Central Valley of California, seeing the strikingly near-empty reservoirs, a herd of tule elk (a real treat, msgnificent creatures that were once thought to be extinct), and some promising clouds to sprinkle the farms and dry, abandoned dirt.
We passed a large vineyard, the leaves turned yellow in November, shining gold in the dusky sun. The clouds had silver linings, and the rolling desert foothills had lots of shadows, light, and texture only dry barren hills can have. I HAD to paint it, but I was obviously not at home next to a canvas.
So I drew the scene on scrap paper with my son's crayons.

Then, I got home and realized I had an overdue handmade postcard swap, so I decided to use watercolor pencil and markere to recreate the scene yet again. (Sorry it is upside down).
And lastly, I got a how-to collage book in the mail today and was inspired after a collage hiatus. So I did a mixed media collage with acrylics, papers, dryer sheets, cedar needles, twine.

aspen
Ive become obsessed with making aspens, so I made a small series of aspen postcards. I find making them very therapeutic and I like to gaze at the finished product...so pretty!
I would add captions if things would cooperate so... 1. Yes, its not a painting or an aspen. It is a pillow I bought because it helped inspire me. 2. Midway through painting, my backdrops are done. 3. Now the birch trunis are in, now time to add foreground leaves and then I am done.
