Art Everywhere

It's still raining so as usual there is plenty to do in the studio. Here is another collage in the works and it just didn't seem to be coming together so I pulled out my paint's and as you'll see in the next photo was able to come to a conclusion that finished it off nicely.

 
The main difference here was adding a few more paper embellishments and then painting areas in a more unifying color. Other that all I did was add a lot of leaves and vines to tie it all together.



I'm always surprised at how these collages look when put on curved surface. They really seem to pop.




This organizer was the best thing by far that, my hatband found  for the studio. He got me one for the brushes and one for my pencils. They're only six inches square but they each hold 196 items. The brush holder emptied 3 vases and saved a lot of space on my work table. I'd highly recommend them or any product like that if you are trying to organize your art supplies.


This photo shows all three mugs I've put my work on this month.


This was one of my paintings. I'm sure you've seen it before but I really appreciate it now that I can have my morning coffee out of it and get a close look at it.

This was one of my favorite collages of recent years and my current favorite mug for coffee lately. It's more of a garden theme and the gnome makes me laugh as I sit out in the garden these days.


The next 2 photos are the same mug but are from a 25 year old collage that I had cut down to fit in a storage box. Details of that are in a previous post but the only way to get it all on the bug was to make each side different.

Gnomes in the Fairy Garden


I don't have any actual fairy gardens yet but I've been gathering things together and sticking them my plants while I plan a few for this season.

Gnome place like home


Everyone's digging in and helping us build things up beside the steps so that we can put in a ramp. We had to laugh when we took a break from working and noticed Nelson here with his shovel.

Another Gnome at home in my garden


You know what they say "be careful what you wish for,you might just get it" A friend enjoyed hearing about the "Gnome adventure" in my yard so much that she bought me this Gnome.He's perfect with his shovel and blue hat. He'll be happy here in the garden with my Dala horses and I find myself wondering how many of his friends will join hem here.

The Live Gnome in my garden


  I just couldn't resist! The clown club was one of the parade groups that were assigned to the staging area in the street in front of my house today. When I saw one dressed up as I gnome I said "I just HAVE to have a gnome in my garden" and here he is!




After this everyone else wanted their picture by the arbor and said nice things about the art and the garden.
Yes, it made me really happy. I'm STILL smiling...


There's GNOME place like home.
