I have another piece that I did in my moleskine for Art Every Day Month (day 13) and I decided to also enter Artists In Blogland’s Fall Fearless & Fly Challenge #4. The theme for AIB is actually a three prong choice, you can do one, two or all three parts of the challenge. Here’s…

The Nicest Christmas Present (APR & AEDM – Day Twelve)
This week’s APR (+AEDM) is Countdown to Christmas. I love Christmas, besides my birthday week in May, it’s my very favorite holiday. Valentine’s, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween, New Year’s doesn’t hold a candle to Christmastime with all it’s decorations, glitter and cheer. I love it, I immerse myself in it, as early as possible. I start…
AEDM – Day Ten & Eleven
No, I didn’t post yesterday but YES, I did work on art. :o) I’m thinking this means that I didn’t actually miss a day, I just didn’t tell you guys about it. Hehehe. It’s been a very hectic week, with writing several articles for FEATURING (Issue three is scheduled to go to the printers in…
To Sail Beyond The Sunset (APR +AEDM – Day Nine)
That’s actually one of my favorite books, “To Sail Beyond A Sunset“. It’s written by my favorite author, Robert A. Heinlein who’s one of the fathers of Science Fiction. Until I looked up an appropriate quote for sunsets I had forgotten that that’s where the title came from, the Tennyson poem, Ulysses. Here’s a quote from…
AEDM – Day Eight
I had some serious fun today painting up this piece. It’s in my new Strathmore Visual Journal, size 9 x 12 inch. I’m loving the new size, slightly larger than I’m used to painting on normally. I’m hoping to move to larger and larger paper until I can do really large full Arches sheets of…
AEDM – Day Seven
Well I just posted my blog post for day six, it’s crazy difficult doing this month long challenge but I’m loving it so much I almost wish it wasn’t only a month, I said almost. ;o) I can’t believe the change I can see in both my artwork and myself, just being forced to do…
AEDM – Day Six
Hurry, hurry, I’m late for a very important date!! I’ve been rushing around like a chicken with it’s head cut off, trying to get art done for both today and tomorrow so I can actually be kind of ahead. I’ve realized that if I add my link to the Linky on AEDM late in the…
Day 5 – Art Every Day Month
Yes, I missed yesterday of AEDM. Sigh. I got half of a piece done, another drawing in my Moleskine. But time got away from me, I spent much of my time writing an article for FEATURING. I wanted to be diligent like Serena was, she said she stayed up until 3 AM to finish her…
AEDM – Day Three
So I have a Strathmore Visual Journal that I’d purchased a while ago so I could play in it. I’m already in love with it’s multi-media paper, it has a smooth Vellum finish and it’s easy to both draw and erase on. Many of the papers I work with seem to leave a shadow of…
November – Art Everyday Month 2012
I’m going to be participating in a daily art challenge throughout the month of November. The challenge is hosted by Leah of ArtEveryday where she posts a linky everyday for any artist who wants to add their art. I’ll endeavor to paint or draw something for everyday of November. I may not get a full piece done…
