Gotcha

I painted these so I can sand the paint off again and make them look old,any tips?

Today I was determined to start a painting in COLOUR, and use a canvas i have had lying around for AGES. So I took as my inspiration a video made by Mitsi, I loved the colours in the picture she was painting and the image of her face overlaid on the painting was irresistable. I was using a lot of ink and turned…

Did you know that with Gary's  "map" of where we all live,,,,you can click on one persons name...hit Satellite,zoom in and see where they live AND how their terrain/country differs from where you live? You can even put the little man on your street location to look directly at your house!  Is this stalking??? LOL! I've gone all over the world to see the different cultures and hillsides and to see the beauties we don't have here... It's amazing! Only exception to the rule are those who put…

I have a question:  When I first joined this site, I would receive lots of emails reflecting the conversations going on between the wonderful artists community of LMM.  However, in past months, I have seen nothing.  Have I hit some random button to block things, or are there no conversations going on anymore?  Please advise, I loved watching the discourse and being made aware of what others are up to. Thanks!  Patti :)

When he wasn't painting, Van Gogh liked to unwind by doing a bit of baking.

Lately, I have been using soft pastel instead of charcoal or graphite for drawing. Every nude model drawing I create has to be on stained coffee Stonehenge and coloured soft pastel. What I find strange is that I never truly liked drawing. I am more of a painting kind of person...but there's something about chalk pastel. I've been looking into Edgar Degas for clues, but found nothing. I just don't get it! Give me a pencil and I'll never get the drawing done. Throw some soft pastel, however,…

Long time since I posted on here, lot of water under bridge so we will skip that and get onto my current art status.

I owe a lot to Gaz and other artists on here, for getting me interested in lots of art, for keeping me going when seriously depressed and for just being them and doing their thing.…

Wow, it's been a while since i blogged on here. Well I've been kind of busy lately. What's new well to start off i got my gallbladder removed for having gallstones. But now i'm getting alittle better and now i'm driving again. What else, I switched from making abstract art to Fantasy. I kind spent alot of time exploring a world outside of Abstract world. Since most of what i done was abstract art in high school. But i then learned to draw. Later found my love of the world of fantasy art. At…

Each of us is a collage. Of joy and sorrow, of dreams and regrets. A tear falls near a smile, a hug conquers a push. We gather good days and put on top of them the bad ones, hoping that the glue isn't strong enough. We add ourselves new layers every day and we become burdened. We are collages. Collages are everywhere. Here too.

This is the description of the facebook page made for my new blog. You cand find it…
