What I Did on My Blog Break....

Today I'll show you a few of the things I made while I was on my break. I didn't do art every single day but I tried to keep involved with it. A few days I spent just throwing paint on a huge piece of red rosin paper. It didn't end up going anywhere so I cut it up and used it for some smaller projects....




The three pieces above are about 4" x 6" and I layered them onto scrapbook paper that is 5" x 7"....they really are centered even though the scans look like they aren't. I put them in dark frames and I think they look good. The scans don't really do them justice but when I tried to photograph them that was even worse. Why is art so difficult to photograph?


You can see them on the right side of the mantel in the photo above along with some of my other art. I just had them sitting there so I could see what they look like from a distance. They aren't all going to stay there! In fact none of them will. Most of these pieces are going to the hair salon.

I'll show you more tomorrow but for now that's it.

I love the soft, muted colors, Janet. And I especially like all the pieces lined up on the mantel. The impact of so many together is terrific.

Very nice and I agree about photographing art- it's so frustrating sometimes. Maybe I need anew camera...

Oh, good! You're back! I've been a bit MIA this summer, too -- posting but not reading. But now that I'm back, I am glad you are. And I do love your creations. Nice work.

Your art is wonderful Janet. I suppose I have missed something, but why are you taking them to the salon? xo
