30W30 One Color Watercolor Drawing

For my 30 Drawings in 30 Days, I have chosen watercolor as a medium. I had no clue what to do with just one color. Risking making the piece commercial, I watercolored an eye. I didn`t want to look at anyone`s eye. Just an eye. I wanted to do something beautiful. I love eyelashes, legs […] Read more…

30 Drawings in 30 Days Challenge Starts November 1st.

I have been playing with this idea for a while. I wanted the equivalent of NaNoWriMo for art. I think to be able to write a whole novel in 30 days is pretty amazing. However, to produce artwork, under pressure, that has commercial appeal is not conducive of good art. Though 30 in 30 has […] Read more…

27 Things

There is a Feng Shui principle called 27 things. In Feng Shui, the saying “As the within, so the without” is the basis for its teachings. Your surrounding are a reflection of you, your mental state and health. According to my surroundings, I am nuts. :) Okay maybe not so much. I have been putting […] Read more…

Perceptual Color Wheel

Just loved this assignment. We were supposed to use Color-Aid swatches to make our color wheel-a tool we are expected to be used through out the next 12 weeks. Because my Color-Aid hasn`t arrived, our professor allowed us to create a color wheel with the things we have around the house. I was super excited […] Read more…

I turned to him and said;”Of course. I don`t churn out master pieces daily, but since […] Read more…

Yummy Little Chair

Kids are off to school and once again, I find myself creating at my leisure. A luxury that is hard to come by for me.
