Widow’s Thrill in Persimmon

Is there a color that just makes you feel good? Mine is Persimmon. The afternoon was spent in a very peaceful, warm, content mood while I spent it working on my latest canvas.

Almost finished!! Have a few touch-ups and thinking about adding a little more color to the white blossoms??

Camellia in the Shade

I find the hardest part of painting in the morning is… not cleaning my paint brushes in my coffee.

Camellia in the Shade

Just brought home a (new-to-me) large canvas art easel. I’m loving that it comes with a creative history that I get to add to!!

Camellia in the Shade

Perfect timing… This Camellia blossom is being preserved, just as the tree I picked it from, is beginning to fade & drop all its flowers

Camellia in the Shade

Yes. Finally. Love it... The smell of turpentine & linseed oil is filling the studio!!! …probably, should open a window.

Graphite’s down. Oil’s next? ….hmmmm …to paint, or not to paint????

[kimberlyblooms]

The whole day, just spent at my drawing table …It was wonderful!!

I’m sooooo glad I decided to set-up the Guestroom side before I started the Art Studio area - Because now, that my supplies are all moved in and I’ve added a few inspirational final touches of mystery, magic & memories, all I want to do is... Start Drawing & Painting!!!

[kimberlyblooms]

Today’s blank canvas - YAY!!!!

[kimberlyblooms]

Guest Room side, complete! (Just need a guest, now!) Art Studio side up next!!

Time to make the bed... LITERALLY.

Shedding a little light on how I spent this past week - in a crafty 70″s mindset!! This macramé pendant light fixture was sooo much fun to make! It’s going to be perfect for over the daybed side table. Oh geez, this is how it starts... now, I wanna macramé EVERYTHING!!

I guess? ….Dark Chocolate covered “anything” is always good on Valentine’s Day….. Even if it’s a FLOOR!?!?! 2nd coat going down and then… another 24 hrs. of waiting - ugh.

[kimberlyblooms]

First coat down.  Now, I HAVE to find something to do - while I have no problem waiting for water to boil…. Waiting for paint to dry is ABSOLUTELY EXCRUCIATING for me!!
