I AM AN ARTIST.....

AT LEAST I THINK I AM..............YOU BE THE JUDGE........

As I mentioned earlier, I worked on TWO projects this past weekend....
I was a busy little girl!!!

The second project was conceived after browsing through my new book, Glamorous Rooms, by Jan Showers. Thank you again, Claire!

In a number of the rooms, featured in the book, there are sketches like the one I am showing below. Jan has different variations in a number of different settings. These two.... are the simplest ones. Most are more detailed and resemble the female form.....some female faces.




I thought........ I can do this........................

I called our In House Artist, Erica, for some advice. She had wonderful hints for me to follow. The most important..... Dress in something that can be messed up!!!

As it turned out, I didn't end up using the brushes and paint we bought. MC and I spent two days deciding on brushes, paint and of course the PAPER.

After experimenting, I discovered that a felt pen worked the best!!! How easy AND no mess!!!

Of course, MC was a big help. He advised that I "practice" on scrap papers. Good idea. I did a lot of "practice" pieces.

MC....he's such a good guy......spray painted old frames, gold....Just like Jan's!!!!

FINALLY, I was ready!!! I applied my pen to the REAL sketch paper. WOW.......


Below, is my interpretation of the Glamorous art pieces that are in the book.........

I AM AN ARTIST

I am so excited about my artistic talent!!!!!! I have never drawn a thing!!! AND I HATED ART CLASS IN SCHOOL...................

DON'T YOU THINK I SHOULD HAVE A "SHOW"
