Works In Progress
Posted on July 22, 2008 - Filed Under Fun |
Not sure what`s going on with me these days, but I seem to be starting a lot of projects and jumping between them! Here are the two most prominent . . .
The boys` dresser, which was plain wood before. I painted it turquoise (the color just WON`T come out right in the pic, it`s way brighter) and the stars are just some of the ones I`m putting on. There will be smaller stars scattered between the bigger ones and also in the centers of the big stars.
The other big project I started was a watercolor painting. Now, I haven`t painted since Dorian was a year old, and then it was just a couple as Christmas gifts . . . but back in the day, I used to draw and paint quite a bit and I even sold some of my paintings. I`m a little out of practice, though.
This is the largest painting I`ve ever attempted and it`s also the first one with a dog, so we`ll see how it goes. This is just the beginning, with a few washes and a handful of details picked out, it`s not even close to being done, just so you know. 
What are you working on these days?

The dresser is looking awesome!
I’m so glad you found time to pick up your paint brushes again. It is looking great! How big is the painting? I can’t wait to see it finished.
Thanks, Jessica! The painting is about 2×3 feet. Huge for me. I`m used to working on those pads of watercolor paper.
I love the turquoise dresser with starts…how neat. And the painting is already amazing. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s completely finished.
I’m so not a crafty/artsy type person! At all.
That is sooooo bright, they might need some sunnies when they are in the room!!!
The painting you’re doing is great! The dog almost looks like a Greyhound!!!
What are we doing? Apart from yet another IVF round, with Lou almost throwing up every hour, AS WELL AS trying to get the painting of the house finished! I am glad I took a week off…
