A Little Holiday Magic!

It's the hap - happiest time...of the year!  I made a goal to create my first piece of Holiday artwork....and here you go! I started out thinking it would evolve into something with hanging ornaments.  Guess not!  That is the magic of art for me - sometimes things take a direction both unexpected and delightful! I used a shape cutter and made some different sized star masks to create the tree.  The paint is semi-translucent.  Before it dried I added a little glitter.  It looks so sparkly on my mantle! From my house to yours - I wish you happy holidays and a season full of touches of magic!

Making a Mess....Finding My Style!

Sometimes learning what is NOT your style is just as important as learning what IS your style.  Here is what I have learned to be true this week:

1.  Sketching out a rough draft ahead of time is NOT my style.  

 

2.  Small, painstaking detail work is NOT my style.

 

3.  Highly repetitive work is NOT my style.

 

4.  I like to work intuitively - that IS my style.

 

5.  I like it messy and unplanned - that IS my style.

 

6.  I need for art to happen quickly and come together in an explosion of color - that IS MOST DEFINITELY my style!!

 

What's your style?
