IMG_0235Dusty is finally finished!  He is 24″ X 36″ and is almost entirely done with a pallet knife, and neutrals.  He started speaking to me immediately after I toned the canvas, and hasn’t stopped since.  Never have I had a canvas chatter so much, and give me their opinion non stop from beginning to end.

I also have never used a pallet knife for an entire painting, and that was a fun experience.  Maybe I’ll do more, maybe I’ve found something exciting and different for me!

Zebra Designs & Destinations is always an inspiration, check them out – you too may be inspired.

Collage by Sage Emery

Collage by Sage Emery

Last year my granddaughter Sage, who was seven at the time, created this Halloween collage.  I love the way she tore papers, glued them onto a canvas, and stenciled over the papers.  All this time without even realizing it, she was checking for balance, and she put a great deal of thought into her design.   I think it turned out pretty good for a seven-year old.

Today,  I asked her what her plans were for a free day, and she replied since it was cold out, she thought she’d do some sketching!   That’s my girl!!!

My inspiration in part comes from Zebra Designs & Destinations, I’m going to show her this blog in hope she will find some kind of inspiration also, check them out, it’s a pretty interesting blog!
