Door What looks to be a very old door in a stone wall built into the side of a hill. I’m always going to be curious about what is beyond that door. 1.26.21 Door img002

Thank you, @Zoie! If you go up to Community above, you’ll find ‘Art Forums’ in the drop-down menu. There are lots of conversations and various kinds of information. The forums used to be quite active, but people have seemed to drop away from them. It would be nice to see them used again.

JA …. WOW…. absolutely awesome! You have seen the picture of the 3 horses at the drinking trough right?! Well here we have the 3 donkeys. I love donkeys so much. They have so much character. Our donkey thought he definitely WAS a member of the family.

They are family. They bond with each other. They grieve when one passes. They play, and they know exactly what you are saying and they remember.

Awesome

Thanks!

Great.

Thanks!

Great job! There are some donkeys near where I live and I really need to try painting them!

They are fun!

it looks like all three have different personalities. How many donkeys do you have??

I have none but the rescues I paint live down the road , so I get to share their loves.

It’s been several days now since my last post, so I figured I’d pop in again and say hello with a little sketch of a wee bunny. For those of who might have missed my previous posts, I’m taking a bit of a break
-
Sweet bunny, nice palette. I’m glad that your break is giving you time to take a breath.
-
I spied a rabbit this morning eating spilled bird seed from under my feeders.
I’ve been doing more with alcohol ink these days than watercolor. I made a cover image for my forthcoming poetry chapbook. My publisher loves it as do I.
It’s been Covid quiet around here. My biggest thrill lately has been the blossoming of 12 of my amaryllis. The cats don’t chew on the for which I’m grateful. The have been nibbling the leaves of my lemon grass and then throwing up, and that’s disgusting, but Joe cleans it up, so there’s that. Lol!
-
Sweet rabbit!! Happy to hear that things are going well and look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to. I spent a long, long time working at our kitchen table when we lived in NYS and did finally end up with a studio in our basement up there but the basement had big windows that looked out on the woods so it was wonderful. The usual, run of the mill basement would not be an ideal creative space. Maybe time to look for a house? Glad you are all doing well.
-
Charlie just use your dining table like I do. If I get company we can go in the living room or move my art stuff over. You don’t need a fancy desk (use the money to hire an electrician, yikes), just a corner of your kitchy. Shelves or cabinet to hold the supplies which reminds me I have to try and find same, get the stuff off the table once in awhile.
Now that I told you how to live and totally expect you to ignore that, good to hear from you and excited to hear your plans!
Take care.
-
So glad to hear from you, Charlie! I’ve missed your daily visits! It’s wonderful that you’re coming along with the book. Since I decided I was going to start over with gouache, I took a break from the book, to mull it over, and intend to start back next month.Sometimes, that results in ideas bursting out of my head. Sometimes not. We’ll see.
-
I absolutely love the little bunny. I’ve missed your visits too, but so glad that you are getting the break you needed.
-
Great doodle, Charlie. I’m glad you’re enjoying your break and I look forward to seeing some sneak peeks of your new work.
-
Hi Charlie, we miss you. I hope your projects are going well.
-
Good Morning Charlie! What a sweet little sketch. I miss your little daily posts, however it has given me some extra time to sketch in the morning. Bittersweet. Until next time, enjoy your new journey!
-
I hope you can figure out a place to sketch. This summer we converted our garage into an art studio for larger pieces but it’s not heated so my husband is back in his office. Now he paints smaller works but his office is quickly becoming a mess. He’s not a neat painter. Lucky me, I have my ‘art studio’ in back of the master bedroom. Not ideal but it works and I’m able to keep the sleeping area and my studio separate. Love your bunny by the way. Are you working on a children’s book?

Without knowing what your level of artistic knowledge is, what you are willing to spend and what brands are available where you live, it’s difficult to give one specific brand.
Three brands that I know are good and widely available are:
Winsor & Newton
Sennelier
White Nights/St Petersburg/Yarka (paints from the same company)
Of these three,…[Read more]

Brilliant painting, Sandra. A Scottish adventurer, cycled the whole of the route, and climbed Denali and Aconcagua on the way. He did it in 268 days. Amazing book and TV series about it.

Many thanks, Gary! I never know what to think of people who do things like that – brave souls or just insane. I suppose they need a good measure of both to embark and complete such adventures.
