Well let me wish all my American friends a very happy and abundant Thanksgiving Day. Since I missed doing art for our Canadian Thanksgiving Celebration in October I thought I’d take full advantage of the American holiday to do something appropriately festive. When I was thinking about what I wanted to do to represent American…

AEDM – Day Seventeen
Heeeerrrreeee Fishy Fishy Fishy…. We have a lovely Koi pond outside the front of our apartment building. In the pond there are two orange and white fish and two white and white fish, lol. The white ones are excellent hiders while the orange/white ones, not so much. I am enamored with all four fishies but…
AEDM – Day Fifteen
Well, another day, another dollar as they say. It’s been two days of frenzied work. I realized that I was seriously behind when I heard a commercial from Canada Post that reminded potential customers that if they wanted their packages delivered on time, they better get them posted. So I spent all yesterday crazily trying…
AEDM – Day Thirteen & FFAF Challenge
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…
