The effort and the pics are over here. However, here is a teeny tiny sample of how I can’t seem to follow my own instructions. I think it’s good thing.

Bears and Clouds This time in a Book
I had to try again, and it might happen again after this. For some reason this trio of words (Bear, Clouds, Books) has grabbed me. I’m not sure that it’s fascinated me but I can’t seem to let go of it. So the first looked like this. Then I tried again over here. This time I made it all the way to making an actually book….sort of. Please feel free to play along. If I can figure out how to link…

Bear, Cloud, Book
Those are the random words I picked to try to create some visual art. This bear isn’t the final effort. It’s only the beginning. I started to draw and have come up with a simple book, but really didn’t have the time to put into it. This week bears and more bears. I did a clay pot years ago and put it in the blog. Hopefully next week there will be a little book to flip through involving bears…

Week 9 Bees, Glasses and Silly
My big art lesson this week (or has it been week after week) is to slow down and think before I draw. I’m like the person that has no filter when they talk, and they just keep talking no matter what else is going on. I start a drawing one way and think I can keep going without any consequences. Ok, so defy my impatience, slow down, and make something actually look aesthetically pleasing and make…

Visual Prompts
This weeks artist prompt words were Cartoon, Dumpling and Ecru. I think it worked out It’s posted here! Thanks for checking in! Also, I’ve been working on some images that I don’t know what to do with. The shadows create movement, I like them so much, but then what. I’ll take any thoughts or ideas.

Week 6 of Artist Prompts
Walking in the Woods, Copper and Birds. I thought this was going to be too much of a breeze. So I put it off and procrastinated and put it off some more. Now I’m thinking I need more than a week to really get into these prompts. I think that means the wheels in my brain are getting some much needed exercise. Please join right here, if you’re feeling creative

Artist Prompt Elephant, Mouse, Ginger
The prompt words I picked this week are Ginger, Elephant, and Mouse. These words reminded me that I created a little book a few years ago with similar words. Well, a tiny bit similar, but enough that I thought I’d share it. The book is titled Elephant’s Ants. There is no ginger or a mouse, however, a lot of the hues and tones in the book are ginger colored. Does that count? Read Here to see my…

Artist Prompt week #4
Write all your likes and loves on little strips of paper. Pick two or three and try to combine them in some creative way. Let me know what happens!
This was a tough word grouping. I survived and had a bit of fun. Again time seems to always be the big issue. Perhaps if this was every other week. Would you join in? In any case my results are here. Next week I retrieved from my grab bag of words: Pencil Drawings, Spaghetti, and Cats

Doing More Artistic Mashups
Pick two or three random words each written on strips of paper and try to combine them in some creative way. Let me know what happens!
Week #3 of Creativity Gymnastics Pick two or three random words each written on strips of paper and try to combine them in some creative way. Let me know what happens! This last one was almost too random but I have an idea for the next bunch of incongruous words. We might be heading into Dali-land. https://penzart.com/week-3-of-creativity-gymnastics/

An Answer To My Own Question
Out of my bundle of likes and loves, that I wrote about in the first entry called: Snagging the Muse an artist’s prompt, I decided to pick three pieces of paper from the bag instead of two. This was in an effort to make creating a little more challenging and it worked. Here are my three random picks: Sweaters, Fountain Pens and Fairytales. Wow – random, huh? Anyway, head over to penzart.com/ to…

Branching Out
Have you ever gotten old, and finally retired, and then said repeatedly to yourself as you walk around the house “now what?” That’s where I am. It’s been a few years since I’ve retired and most of the time, I’ve been dealing with an aging parent. She’s still hanging in at 100 years old but finally in a safe assisted living place. it was an incredible effort and the people at her assisted living…

Day or Two Late (as usual)
Day or Two Late (as usual)
I had most of my cards and little sketchbooks at a little rural shop. Perhaps that was my first mistake. People had to go there specifically for yarn and to see alpacas. Their focus wasn’t on art or fancy little art cards. Either that or my work is just not all that sellable. I can easily believe that latter – but I keep trying and can’t seem to stop trying. sales.penzart.com These were so fun…

A Calm Moment
For me a calm moment enables me to do some fun artwork. It’s getting that moment to actually last long enough to create. With time and nothing pressing while I was on the island this past summer, I pulled out my paints and over a few days tried my hand at realism. Realism requires patience, not something I’m very good at – I tried. These are art cards that I put on my site. All the cards on that…

New Book on the Horizon
First of all, my Kitty Cat book is done!! It feels so good to finish a project. I’m sending it out hoping to get an agent to see it’s value. I’ll give it six to nine months and then self-publish. Here is the front cover: The one-minute pitch: This One And That One is a bedtime story meant to ease worried minds and inspire an “aww,” moment at the end, sending little ones off to comfy, safe…

Snow as Art
I couldn’t resist an early morning walk after a tiny bit of snow. With just this smattering of white, everything had a magical look. The sun is just starting to come out. I might have to try again with that warm, buttery, yellow, fill light to help.
