I always wonder if I have cleaned my oil color brushes enough. So far I’ve been ok, but knowing how to prevent the loss of a good brush is important to me!
This short video is done by Darrell Crow from YouTube. I never tried cleaning my oil brushes in baby oil, I use Murphy’s Oil Soap.

My backyard on a HOT day
This week I have been in my studio creating different pieces of art. My artwork runs from abstract to greeting cards, and just about everything in between. The fact is, as usual I haven’t any idea where this painting will take me, and if I did know I probably wouldn’t say so because I rarely have a painting that goes in the direction I thought it would. I just keep working on it & if I’m finished I guess I’ll know. This painting is as usual, an experiment! It is way too dark, and surely will undergo many changes before I’m finished.
Todays you will be watching a video on color, and how we actually perceive it. I thought it was interesting, it’s short, and sometimes something like this triggers a thought, or an idea we didn’t expect. I hope you will enjoy it, and maybe it can inspire you to think, or create differently.
When I am out of ideas or even just tired, and in need of some rest and relaxation I often turn to YouTube for inspiration. Sometimes I go to YouTube for problem solving. After all where else can you go for just about any information possible?
Today you will be watching an Abstract Art Demo by Karen Hale. It impressed me when I saw how she used her colors, shapes, rulers, pie-tins, and more. When I started out in Water Color I loved the look of w/c, but what I didn’t like was how structured, and perfect each thing each thing I did, had to be done just right or your painting didn’t come out right. That is why I changed to acrylics, and oils. W/C just didn’t dry fast enough, and it made me anxious, and uncomfortable. Today I still use w/c when I travel, and journal, but they are small & dry more quickly.
Here is what I thought…
It would be fun to watch different YouTube videos on art. Maybe abstract, mixed media, or collage. Maybe something specific you want to see, how about you comment and let me know, and I’ll try to find what you are looking for and post it. It could be fun, maybe we could all learn something new, and we can share ideas.
I’m asking any, and all of you out there in blogging land to give me ideas on what you would like to learn or see, and I’ll blog it. Get your thinking caps on, and let’s go for it!
This is a chance to get to know each other better, and share the things we love the most!
So many memories are buried
in my heart graveyard
Even those faces as well
I thought they would be hard
life goes on with her own pace
Fancy cars become part of the junkyard
Every pain has happiness before
don’t think narrow, think broad
do what you like and like what you do
you are free and slave of only one lord
everything has time and place
until the right moment don’t show your card
Life is precious and very short
Make it easy don’t make it hard
