I have begun a series of furniture projects. By the spring I will be launching a new business (fingers crossed) that will focus on my hand painted items.<br />
Here is one of my "practice pieces". yes, I decided to just stencil but I am intent on painting some shore scenes (you know how i love the beach) and other subjects.<br />

I think I am spending too much time on Pinterest lol. I have a few small projects I want to finish like my dresser drawer shelf, my text book shelf and mannequin hand curtain hold backs. Here are a few ideas from Pinterest<br />

I will start with birds, owls are a big item in fabrics and decor right now. I am not in "fine art" mode here, I save that for gallery and art shows. My goal is to sell what is main stream with a twist of my own. The scan is not the best but you get the idea<br />

I may not after all and use them for my licensing submissions.Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08881621039824769204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779724702342492076.post-59695784719928520922015-01-04T10:02:00.002-08:002015-01-04T10:02:43.166-08:00Making some art papers today. I am in the process of creating a few items for submission for licensing. I was reading a few articles and they recommend putting together a series that can be used on various items such as mugs, notecards etc. Also if I am going to try to sell for this purpose I have to copyright/register my work. I am placing these in a separate portfolio for myself. I will not license any art that has been sold privately because they are originals and generally on canvas. Just think, how would you feel if you bought a painting at a gallery and then see snippets of it on items in retail stores? It is then no longer an original work of art.\<br />

Hope this year brings some new ideas. One of my resolutions is to post at least once a week.<br />
I want to be involved with a few more art organizations so I can be involved in more shows, maybe some workshops etc.<br />

I hope to make it to the reception this time. I kept to the "seashore" theme. I may replace them if sold with holiday themed coasters, not sure yet.Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08881621039824769204noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779724702342492076.post-31910319294322961712014-09-09T09:57:00.000-07:002014-09-09T09:58:21.976-07:00I'm working on a new series. This time i am making coasters using photos.<br />
<br />
I got the directions from a DIY site<br />
http://www.cardstore.com/blog/diy-photo-coasters/<br />
<br />
The difference is that I used alcohol inks for the background and color copies of my own artwork not photos. I made my copies at Staples on the color copier because inkjet prints will bleed.<br />

Here is a glimpse of the process i use to make my art. First I collage the background using old text, pattern paper, found objects etc.<br />
Then I brush a wash of paint over it. Next I start to fill in the details (not shown).<br />
The final step is placing the collaged images (in this case it was seahorses) made from my hand painted paper, text, vintage music sheets etc. (4 photos)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkCybQ9ELnnWdarW2k7dKd9QuK1FGG4TsqDHxWqPGwobS6LMVfMMbE0fpdYehTEOGQD20IEu_F1GeVQvkVFkhigJuNIcE9ZcsZpKjPg1rI2-7df_wp_vtCdxY-W7hgTZJ5zWhLAx_ltBI/s1600/process3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkCybQ9ELnnWdarW2k7dKd9QuK1FGG4TsqDHxWqPGwobS6LMVfMMbE0fpdYehTEOGQD20IEu_F1GeVQvkVFkhigJuNIcE9ZcsZpKjPg1rI2-7df_wp_vtCdxY-W7hgTZJ5zWhLAx_ltBI/s320/process3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfdgua9zhv26ZptK_sHLRX1UOuax6GR1nb291rbU37Np0swbvTuuZvgy63Wq87C8wMtrjVVINw8cOCOoT0XCyzeVxIVxx6P3d51yNQjbpKt0Wglc0nzdSSIpvY4CnckGamB_ukM2JK3nk/s1600/Process2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfdgua9zhv26ZptK_sHLRX1UOuax6GR1nb291rbU37Np0swbvTuuZvgy63Wq87C8wMtrjVVINw8cOCOoT0XCyzeVxIVxx6P3d51yNQjbpKt0Wglc0nzdSSIpvY4CnckGamB_ukM2JK3nk/s320/Process2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAapVf6r7O1KP9RcYqXk1OSR-Rn-u0t2iwZHV30EBEolxqbwJ0hvAcIr0NBTb_zGXCRKlP5casJU64zCCThUliKsrIPajRNx2zjJ9pU3KIALzMY9beDh-WcunRubMESBbvDNQ8Fpz7ew/s1600/Process+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAapVf6r7O1KP9RcYqXk1OSR-Rn-u0t2iwZHV30EBEolxqbwJ0hvAcIr0NBTb_zGXCRKlP5casJU64zCCThUliKsrIPajRNx2zjJ9pU3KIALzMY9beDh-WcunRubMESBbvDNQ8Fpz7ew/s320/Process+1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinL9aiJyCdaNGeMeKVZsIcYSz5Gg3WvQIYzdD2X2_RqbMGll4cUdGUPdQOWygPoUkZLAshiHpKMIcptvriO3seWHpTKa2y9NlqE2rG7Eibx945NnRBSqJcNhKy1ZWpZMc94kMpPkEaxpg/s1600/Process+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinL9aiJyCdaNGeMeKVZsIcYSz5Gg3WvQIYzdD2X2_RqbMGll4cUdGUPdQOWygPoUkZLAshiHpKMIcptvriO3seWHpTKa2y9NlqE2rG7Eibx945NnRBSqJcNhKy1ZWpZMc94kMpPkEaxpg/s320/Process+4.jpg" /></a></div>Carolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08881621039824769204noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779724702342492076.post-71164054047023967802014-07-11T06:54:00.000-07:002014-07-11T06:54:51.867-07:00I am so glad!

It was about how to write an Artist's Statement.<br />
It was presented at the Collective Art Tank in Asbury Park, here in NJ. It was presented by Eric Valosin. Here is the link to The Art Tank.<br />

My studio is a enclosed carport without heat, so needless to say, I cannot work out there during the very cold weather. Sure, i could get a space heater, but I am a bit concerned about a heater in a place with so much paper around. So I sketch in my books in hopes of elaborating on my sketches with paint once the thaw has begun.<br />
<br />
Here is another for my "tree" series. One being a small sketch and the other is a work in progress<br />

I did finally finish the Sandy Series. I will post next time.
We all try to think of New Year Resolutions but I prefer to think of them as goals. I do have 4 important goals for this year:
1. Keep up with this blog! Post at least two times a week ( I have neglected it for too long)
2. Attend one gallery or art related event each month. (Kind of like a date with my muse)
3. Continue my volunteer work for my local shelter
4. Submit work for publication
I think these are very reachable. Maybe I should include some loftier goals? hmmmmm
Over the past year I have also become a member of the Belmar Arts Council where I have had work in various group shows. As of yet I haven't sold anything but I have high hopes for the coming year.
I continue to submit work to Idiosyncrazies in point Pleasant. It is a wonderful shop/gallery that showcases many local artists. Sharon, the proprietor is a pleasure to work with.
Well that's all folks. I'll be back in a few days
