Day 5 working on more small works of art

Good morning! I survived the weekend painting session with good luck getting 20 small paintings completed and framed! I uploaded some to my Fine Art America website to offer as cards. While I was uploading them - someone from NY was viewing them at the same time!

My husband seems to think I should be cleaning the house...instead of painting... It's clean..the laundry and dishes are clean. The dogs, cats, and birds are fed and happy. What more does he want?? Does he think that painting is wasted time? He loves my artwork, but maybe doesn't appreciate the time it takes to produce--I guess.
We got a call from his sister and we are now expecting his 3 sisters and mother up for a weekend visit in two weeks.....That means I HAVE to start cleaning up my hidden messes.... as his sisters and Mother are immaculate housekeepers - not artists - and love to have every counter empty and that is not how this household runs!

So, do I stop painting and clean for the next 2 weeks for a weekend visit from his family? Yes! Say "Yes" as I know I have to.

It's hard to get in the mood for painting and stay there till you get some good results. But if I put the timer on for an hour every morning - I can get enough paintings wet and let them dry while I clean up the house for his family.

See ya later!!

Framed Small Artworks

I did have some nice frames for these small piesces of artworks and I wonder what you think about the final product? Do the frames work?

I scanned the completed 4"x6" artworks for your entertainment! Adding all the little details - pearlescent & metallic colors - was too much fun and when I find the rare "diamond in the rough" small painting - I will attempt to transfer it into a larger piece!

3rd day working on small works of art!

Today is day 3 on the small works of art and I dreamed about them all night!! What am I going to do with them??? I could scan them and offer the images as cards on Fine Art America and then mount them on small canvases for a "Take-n-bake" quick artworks for sale at the First Fridays events..... I am signing the completed ones and will remove them from the table today. I did post a new assignment on the www.wmaag.com site - so I need to get going on the assignment.... so many art works in the "oven" and so little time to paint today as my husband is home wanting me to participate in his projects.... I might suggest a nap for him today to sneak some painting time in!!!

2nd day working on small works of art

Good morning! Wow, I had to clean up the table before I got started this morning. I taped down the papers with the dried backgrounds and started painting some new ones, too! I have begun adding fun and colorful effects on the small papers! I would image this project will keep me busy all weekend while the rain is in town....I should stay out of trouble then!

I did get some positive feedback on restarting the www.wmaag.com assignments as many members created wonderful paintings from the inspiring words of Betsy Dillard Stroud.

So who wants to pull the next 3 cards from their decks and send me the results.......?? I will post th new updated assignment!

Small works of art

Hello to all,

Today I'm starting some small works of art!! I am enjoying my morning dabbling in watercolor and small pieces of paper! I'm typing this blog while the background paint drys! I'm thinking about starting up my blog about the progress of these small paintings...something to blog about...we all need something to connect us to each other, so blog back to me, too!!

So I will try to get something interesting going with these small works of art. Some of my facebook friends have been after me to attend the First Fridays and I'm trying to get some "inventory" created to go to this event monthly and see how things go.... Anyone ever attended First Fridays??

Write me back... does anyone want to start back up the www.WMAAG.com works of art site assignments???

Waiting to hear from you all!!!
