Molly Moo the Free Cow

Molly Moo the Free Cow

Here we are again, it’s a Fabulous Friday, and another weekend is starting.  I always think the weekend starts on a Friday, that way we get longer weekends…..Not that it really matters once we retire!

I finally finished Molly Moo the Free Cow!

She has taken me long enough, but you can’t rush creativity, right?

There are at least four under-paintings that Molly  is sitting on.  Each time I’d get about half way through them,  I’d lose interest.  The painting wouldn’t speak to me, and I’d be lost.  So it would sit there on my easel for months, leaving me feeling down, and uncreative.  Finally I decided that whatever I’d been working on clearly wasn’t my thing, or I’d be inspired to keep going, even finish it.

I realized that if I loved what I was doing, I’d want to do it all the time!

That’s when I decided to do something fun, freely creative, and funky.  I love funky!  I really love Molly Moo with her tea bag, and free spirit.  I had fun doing her, and am going to start another funky painting, so it’s back to the drawing board…

Call Me Crazy…

But I really love how this painting came out.  Morning Sun on a barren forest has all the fun I could muster up  telling  it’s story.  Collage, rice paper, the glistening gold of morning sun, shadows.  It’s simple, and I like that.  Sometimes I go simple instead of finishing.  My diva friend tells me …..More is Better?  You tell me!

Happy Cow

Free Cow

Free Cow

I’ve always wanted to paint a cow! Not an ordinary cow, but a “Happy Cow,” one with personality, and fun oozing out her pores.

This is the beginning of my “Free Cow!”

There is much left to do but, I haven’t lost interest, or been sorry I’ve started her.  She sits proudly on the easel in my studio, talks to me each and every day, and I’m going to make a big effort to work on her this week.  I say that because there are so many things that seem to take precedent over my art right now.

I love crows, and I’m always trying to incorporate crows into my art.  These two pieces are about 8″X8″, and are both experiments.  Using charcoal, pens, paint, sandpaper, and stencils, they were created for fun.  I have always loved the way they turned out, but never have done anything with them.

FullSizeRenderOver the weekend we celebrated the  92nd  Birthday of our dear Friend, and art sister.  Maxine never fails to bring to us her inspiration, and creative energy.   How she does it, I do not no, but I want to be just like her when I grow up!
