While my entire family is busy scurrying around trying to get the last-minute things accomplished, I wanted to wish all of you a wonderful, Holiday Season, and a safe, prosperous, and healthy 2018.

Can you believe we are getting ready to enter the beginning of another year. My life is flying by before my eyes!  All the while, my art is being pushed back farther.   I’m just not feeling it right now.

Be safe this season as the crazies are out, people are thinking of many things, and sometimes not paying attention to driving.

My Blessings to all of you…..see you next year!

On the Wall!

Call me crazy!

After trying for hours to get to sleep one morning this week, I decided to  search YouTube for something interesting to show you.  I’ve always been fascinated with street art, and this basic how to was interesting.  I hope you are as intrigued as I was with it.  Maybe it will kick-start our art in a whole new direction.

Let me know what you think, or email me some of your art.  Thank you for stopping by and checking out Stone Soup.

Love Nolan

It’s been almost four  weeks since I had a knee replacement, and I’m so happy that’s over.  I didn’t say much to very many people, probably because I wasn’t looking forward to having another surgery. Now it’s over, I’m doing well,  and all I have to do is eat, create  a little art, and get my energy back!  My energy is slow to return, but my spirit is  right there thinking about  creating.

I haven’t been posting much due to my energy level,  lately I seem to like taking long naps…..  The only thing is, I believe our bodies let us know when we need rest, and when we can let go and have fun.  These days having fun is a three-hour recouperation nap!

My Grandson, Nolan made me a get well card, and one the inside it says, “I hope you like your new knee!”   Isn’t that cute, that can only come from an 8-year-old.

As I get stronger, and can create more art, you will be the first to see it.  I really can’t wait to get back to my normal schedule, get cleared for driving, go out to brunch with my girlfriends, and all the things you take for granted when there isn’t anything to show you a difference.

Thanks for stopping by and checking on Stone Soup.  See you soon…….

What Color are you today?

Today I’m sitting here, feeling very mellow, and it occurred to me that if I had to paint how I feel, I’m not sure I could figure out what color I’d be.  Mellow being a good mellow!   I’m definitely not Blue…

Santa Fe skies

For sure I’m not feeling green…

I definitely don’t feel dirty, or brown…

Or even in the shadows….

So how do we paint our feelings?   I’m happy, well fed, relaxed, safe, loved, and……mellow.  How do I paint all that and clean too?

Have you ever tried to paint how you feel in a color?  If you were to do that, what color would you use, would it change daily, weekly, or at all?

This is what I feel like today..mellow, and happy!

Thanks for stopping by to check on Stone Soup.  See you next time..

Easy, and Fun

I posted this video of Tag Art because sometimes we need to create on a smaller scale.  That’s me!  While on vacation, I journaled, and I love doing that.  I have many journals, some finished, some almost empty.  Yet when Aron Bros. has a sale on journals, or sketch books, I must rush out and take advantage of the Sale!  

When I get bottled up, or stuck and can’t imagine anything to paint I paint rocks.  Now I’ve found tags.,…..shipping tags,  sale tags, and anything I can collage, or glue something onto.  They start out looking plain, unimpressive, and grow into themselves.

While I just had carpel tunnel surgery, I’ll be having a knee replacement in a couple of weeks, and will be glad I have something small to play with during recuperation.  The something small being tags.  I hope this little video gives you some ideas to use with not only tag art, but larger mixed midea pieces as well.
