Yep, they’re turnips. I’ve certainly been in a veggie mood lately. Maybe next time I’ll pick something really complicated like a pineapple. It’s been on my bucket list since I first took Delicious Paint last year. Ok, I guess this is a short post today, I NEED a coffee like I need oxygen so I’m so…

Carrots For The Easter Bunny
It’s total coincidence that I chose carrots to do this close to Easter. But since the carrots are so colorful I’m sure the Easter Bunny will love them. I’m totally using them as payment for chocolate. Seems to me it’s a fair trade. When I found this photo on the internet I was shocked to…
Just A Little Veggie To Get Me Going
I have a superpower, although it’s not really a superpower one wants. I can procrastinate like nobody’s business. If procrastination was an Olympic sport I’d have several gold medals. In fact, I’d look like Mr. T with all the gold around my neck. I’ve been using my superpower for over a week. Somehow by wanting…
How To Be A Better Artist
Some of you may remember last year that I took a course hosted by my good friend Tracey Fletcher King. It changed my art in so many ways I have trouble even verbalizing the improvements. I actually feel like a more accomplished artist with solid skills under my belt and I know I’m a better…
Can Someone Answer The Phone?
So I’m playing with paint today. Not like before, I’m trying to paint with more freedom. I’m truly trying to splash paint around. I got another assignment yesterday. This was to really get creative with the paint splotches. Don’t plan them out AT ALL. Like, don’t even have any idea what you’re gonna put on that…
Let’s Play In The Leaves
So I have a new challenge. I’m supposed to learn to relax and loosen up when it comes to my painting. I know I can do paintings that are accurate but I really want to learn to be more spontaneous. I want to infuse more me into my own art and that involves allowing myself to…
I Wish Someone Would Bring Home The Bacon
(Photo by Lucas Zarebinski) Wouldn’t you just love a bacon and tomato sandwich right now? With some good mayo and vine ripe tomatoes, all red and delicious? Ya, me too. That’s how I’ve been feeling all day as I look at the photograph I was using to paint up my tomatoes. I actually have a…
…And The Beet Goes On
Teacher: Tracey Fletcher King Would you be shocked if I said I was painting produce today? You wouldn’t? Really? ;o) My crisper runneth over with beautiful veggies. My latest venture into painting produce is my golden beet. I was helped by Tracey in Delicious Paint. She gave me a bunch of tips like to use…
A-Pair-A-Guys & A Baby
No! not the movie Three Men & A Baby, instead we have two asparagus and a baby bok choy!! Time to paint the veggies!! Are you getting sick of seeing all the produce in my fridge? I sure hope not because I have a bunch more drawn up awaiting paint. Today I bring you baby bok choy…
Circles & Lines
Color Circles ll So, today I’m playing with paint and color circles again. My two new colors arrived from WetPaintArt.com. (I love them for shipping to Canada, their shipping charges are so darn reasonable!) I didn’t have Daniel Smith’s burnt sienna or sap green in my palette, I had other brands. I hated the other substitutes…
