Recent Art and Updates
And while all this is going on we have decided to move from our beautiful Maine to the hot and humid state of Georgia. And the preparation and move need to be made before winter sneaks in here in Maine. So I began packing up my studio a little at a time.
And in the interim I made a few pieces of art using backgrounds that were already prepared. This floral is acrylic on a canvas board.
We have already sold this house. We met the new buyers a couple days ago and they love our home. I believe they will take good care of her. Mark and I are in the process of buying a beautiful new home in Georgia. Totally different from our log home here in Maine, a more traditional house. And we love it. We close on the 27th, then need to decide when we will actually move.
This background is Schmincke watercolors. I am forcing myself to try red on occasion. I really dislike red, hahaha! And I drew a free-hand mandala. Just a center point and four pencil marks to designate the top and bottom and the sides. Then free-hand your designs.
When we make that move be prepared for a bunch of photos. There might even be chickens and goats and mini donkeys. Maybe.
Another Schmincke background. Mainly because they are my favorite colors. These last two were made in the Indigo Art Papers square journal. Handmade papers, really lovely book to work in.
Now, I'd better get back to packing a box here and there.
You are in my prayers, Alice!

DeleteI am so happy to see your name in my email. I will pray for you for sure. If you would, offer one for our family. My husband of almost 47 years is in immunotherapy for cancer that we hope will shrink as much as possible. He has scans at the end of this week. Good luck with your move. As they say, keep making plans. Susan Haninger
ReplyDeletepraying for excellent results with the immunotherapy. praying for the both of you. God has you in the palm of His hand.
DeleteSo happy to hear that you are making great progress in your fight against cancer. Praying for a clean slate with your next PET scan.
ReplyDeleteNow this move you are making... I can't even imagine!! Husband and I moved 75 miles in October and it nearly did us in! Can't imagine going from Maine to Georgia. Hope you have lots of help!

ReplyDeletethank you so much
DeleteYou bet I'l continue praying for your cancer to be gone! I'm with you on red. I actually like the color, but there is no color that can ruin a painting faster if you it isn't the right red, or you use too much.
ReplyDeletethank you for the continued prayers. <3
