Open House tomorrow night at the tannery

11/30/2011

I spent most of the day drawing with pen and ink. I'm almost finished with that garden wall. I just have to add the darks. I hope to finish tomorrow before the open house. I have a frame I can put it in. I have to leave here in the morning and get the food, plates, cup etc. then to the tannery to finish getting every ready. We put lights up today and they look so good. I should be fun tomorrow.

The two framed watercolors look great!

I picked up the two watercolors today from the framer and they do look good. I was going to work at home today but didn't. That's why I need a studio, I just can't work here at home. I took the cats to the vets and washed clothes and went

Painting in my head again!

11/20/2011

Yesterday the framer gave me some watercolor canvas and I'm so excited about painting on it. So all last night and this morning I could see the painting I'm wanting to do and I can feel the brush in my hand. But, I've got two commissions to do, so I will dream on. It will have to wait.

I had to drop off two large watercolors to be framed today. Then to buy another smaller frame for a mixed media piece, all works that will be going into the Quinlan Show for Tannery Row Artist. Thank goodness the others are already framed. I still have to finish one pen and ink to go into the show. Time is running out. I'm feeling a little stres

I found my boards!

I found a wonderful little art store in Athens, GA and it's closer to me than downtown Atlanta. Actually, since Pearl went out, I don't know of a great art store in Atlanta. I picked up two boards (large) and 3 inks. I'm so good to go now. If you know of any great art supply store, please let me know. When I'm in Nashville I go to Plaza Art, I do love it. What about on-line shopping, who do you

I can't find my boards to draw on

11/16/2011

I like to draw on Strathmore 500 cold press illustration board and I can't find any around here. I might have to order some, but I need to get started now. This is for a commissioned piece. Any one know of another board that works well with pen and ink and washes?
