Life Book Lessons
My Christmas present this year was the Life Book class on line by Tamara Laporte. There is a lesson a week, some by Tam and others by different artists. I haven't been able to do a lesson a week, but here is some of what I have done.
This is one of my favorite techniques, pulling images from a background. I can find a lot meaning to me in this one.
Heart Connections
Painting Over A Printed Image
Quirky Birds
Expressing You
Fantasy Cupcakes
I have made fantasy cupcakes for the summer birthdays in my family. This technique is from an on line class by Tobi Britton. The cupcakes are plaster of Paris and the frosting is lightweight premium Spackle.
The first one I did was for our granddaughter who turned seven and fancies herself a cheetah.
The next one was for my husband who is a blues fan.
And the next one was for my son in law who is a golfer.
That is an eagle next to his foot. It is a Zuni carving made from Picasso marble.
It was a little messy at times, but a lot of fun to create these special birthday cupcakes.

My Latest Endeavor
Strathmore Workshop
I signed up for free online workshops from Strathmore. The first
workshop is abstract painting. The second is drawing in May and third
is card making in September. These are my painting from the abstract
painting workshop. They are quick and fun.

| Week 2 |

| Week 3 |
 | ||
| Week 1 This started out as an abstract bug and it it just didn't work so I painted over it and looked for an image. I found this face which I enhanced with colored pencil and then painted around it to make it stand out. I will try week1's lesson again another time. |

Winter Storm
Wednesday morning it's starting to snow.
Wednesday evening it's coming down.
Four little pumpkins sitting on the rail.
No coffee on the deck tomorrow.
Thursday morning through the window.
I looked out the back door and to my surprise there was a a snowy reindeer
wearing a Santa hat looking back at me. Or was it the trumpet vine coated
with snow? I think it was a reindeer!
Mr. Cardinal was up early for breakfast.

The Architect And The Builder
The Architect and The Builder
aka
Cami and Grammy
Cami had no school and was spending the day at Grammy's and Grampy's.
Never one to rest, Cami had a plan in mind to build a hamster house for her imaginary hamster.
To start she needed card board boxes, packing tape (to make clear windows), and scissors. She designed and directed the building process as Grammy followed her instructions. The original plan was to connect three boxes, but when that seemed to make the house too long, she decided that the third box would be a second story. Then she determined that an elevator would be needed to get from the first to the second floor. The elevator was designed and built, and an overhang and slide was added. The house was finished by coloring with markers, the universe was drawn on the roof, a welcome mat was drawn and a stone patio was made using circle stickers. The second floor was decorated with flowers made from the circle stickers.
