Color Is To The Eyes…..

As Music Is To The Ears!!!

I’m told that quote is from Tiffany, but I’ve never been able to prove it.

Today is a great day to learn about mixing flesh tones.  Since I’m not a portrait artist, mixing flesh tones isn’t anything I do often enough to be really proficient in it.  But with an easy to follow tutorial, mixing flesh tones isn’t so bad.  I’ve done it many times, but I still need to refresh my memory prior to starting anything with flesh on it.

This video is only ten minutes long, but it looked good, and to someone it will post at just the time they need help most.

 

 

 

Flippin’ Friday

Things are about to get crazy, we talked about it…  Holidays are right around the corner,  there is no way out!

I’m happy, Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, and favorite holiday.  The decorations, the lights,  the joy that is in the air, and from now on nothing but Christmas music (to get me in the mood, and keep me there).

There are so many other religions, I don’t even know how many.  By no means am I leaving out people who celebrate differently,  it ‘s just that Christmas is the only reference I have.  I have only ever smelled the freshness of pine, and I love it!  Since my family have all grown up, I rely on Holiday music, and my grandchildren to keep me in the mood!  Just finding things on their lists is a project.  Fortunately, the little ones are under control.  It’s the big ones that I need to pay attention to.

There are times I have  difficulty  writing my blog, and times when it just spills out onto the keyboard, and into the computer.  Those are my favorite times.   I’m afraid this isn’t one on them.   With all the busy-ness going on right now, you really can’t depend on me for anything.  I laugh, but it’s true!  Right now I’d forget my head if it weren’t attached.

I hope this video is something you might be interested in…..

Have a great weekend, see you next week!

Happy Thanksgiving Thursday

Today I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  There are so many things I’m thankful for, and one of them is all the people I’ve met since creating my blog.  My goal is to get better as a writer, and as a painter also, but the most fun is to meet other bloggers from around the world.  Where else can you get to know people who have the same interests as you have, or learn about things you didn’t even know existed.

Today is a day of Gratitude, and Love.  A day that the only thing that matters is kindness, love, patience, understanding, and the deep appreciation for family, and friends.

So my wish for all of you is all these things, and more.  Let’s feel the abundant love oozing out of our homes, and the willingness it takes to bring us all together.

Happy Thanksgiving

A Tribute to…..

Freddy Mercury!

On this day in November, 1991 Freddy Mercury died, and the world lost a great performer.  This little video is a tribute to Freddy whom I have always loved, so today this is for you Freddy Mercury,  you are missed!

And because Freddy was such a great performer…..just one more  video for the road…

I could go on and on, but…..I’m won’t do that to you.
