Victoria Gothic

I have been inspired lately by many different areas and ideas in my life and my surroundings . As I am still working on my pieced for the craft market I am also trying some other ideas some butterfly art and quotes which I will post once I have completed fully. This piece I finished was an idea that started as I was looking through pictures of Victorian era gowns. I wanted her to be romantic and mystical, while I was painting I decided to add in the black raven making the piece have a feeling of darkness and mystery ,I really love this picture

Hello Sunshine

Well it has been a busy month . What have I been doing ??? I cant even remember most of it but I know it has been busy . As moms we are always busy getting the kids ready off to school, and now it is almost the end of the year yippee!!! My oldest is graduating and hopefully getting a job, the middle child is hopefully passing all subjects and my youngest is sad the year is over. I am wondering what we are going to do all summer so we don't drive each other CRAZY....
I have  had a few opportunities arise with my art that are very exciting ,I have a space at Pheonix Spa And Artisan Gallery in Hope B.C to sell some art. I also have connected with The Clayburn Gourmet Gallery   Coffee House in Abbotsford B.C and have some pictures, calendars and art cards for sale there.

Card Board Art

 So I decided to take yet another Art class Doll Dreams CardBoard Art. Our project is to create art on pieces of cardboard . We are going to make a cardboard folder to keep our art in and several Fun, Messy, Unique pictures on thats right..............Cardboard !!. So off I went into my messy garage in search of some materials. I found a perfect piece of cardboard that made my folder and several 5 x 7 pieces I was soon going to paint on. I got into the Groove and a Crazy art inspired moment possibly hypermania set in but whatever it was I couldn't stop, As my mess got bigger and my paint brushes were flowing I soon realized it was 3am. I was having so much fun and I was so inspired that it was worth all the mess and the tired morning .  

This is the front cover of the art folder and below is the back , a variety of mediums are used paints ,felts and collage materials 

Miss you

Dark Desire 

These are both a little different then the art I have generally been creating , I actually really enjoyed this process and I just might have to create a few more along this theme!
