And some coasters I did when I missed Art Club because of my wreck (pastel ones were done by a student showing me how to do this). I gave as Christmas gifts to each family a set, and I didn't take pictures before wrapping them.<br />

Current painting in progress<br />
It's one I painted 2 years ago and I'm hoping I can do a better job on it this time since I learned so much<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O61jKoNDAV4/YVlBLXUnsbI/AAAAAAAAC3g/PGg3CWG4ruUVMAHNiCNK6LYY2DqFcRg7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s206/1st%2Battempt%2Bglass%2Bflowers%2Bpainting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="206" height="206" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O61jKoNDAV4/YVlBLXUnsbI/AAAAAAAAC3g/PGg3CWG4ruUVMAHNiCNK6LYY2DqFcRg7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/1st%2Battempt%2Bglass%2Bflowers%2Bpainting.jpg" width="206" /></a><div> in the past couple of years.

The day my beautiful car was destroyed.<br />
<br />
Time to go to work. There was a gap in the headlights coming at me, and I went for it. Unfortunately, the gal behind me was taking a drink and when she put her cup down, there I was. She slammed into my backend on the left and put me into a tailspin. One second I see her headlights in my rearview mirror, and the next second I see the rock wall spinning in my front view. In my brain, I thought "I'm rolling". When it was over, I could hear the engine running so I calmly put my car in park, turned off the key, and shut off my headlights. Later I realized that my radio had gone off and that was why I could hear my engine. A lady came running up to me asking if I was OK and to not move. I luckily had my cell phone in my pocket and I called John first. While on the phone, someone else opened my passenger door. After that, I decided to move over and come out (I didn't know how close to the wall I was -but thinking back, the lady opened it so I probably could have gotten out that way). There was another gal that was upset, tears running down her face, saying "I was taking a drink and when I put my cup down, there she was!" She was driving a Chevy Equanox and only damage I saw was to her front right fender. <br />

Zentangle cards for my two summer school students. The boy's name started with an A so I tried to do masculine designs. The girl's name begins with Z so I did more feminine doodles. <br />

Another quick project completed this week are these crocheted scrubbers. <br />

I am trying to fix a bad habit (at least in the pastel world) but not sure if I am still over-blending even though I am not using my finger. Oh well. Last night it was just a yellow blob but tonight it's a daffodil. </span><br />

Pick two colors and their shades & tints to create a painting. I didn't quite understand where we were going with the lesson so I chose total opposites - yellow and purple. Looking at this, it doesn't look too bad but don't look at the original photo...You wouldn't recognize it. LOL. I didn't make a bad choice of purple and yellow. In fact, it probably was a good choice because I might have been tempted to use green (for the grass) and some other color trying to match the photo. I'll have to practice this lesson at home before my next class. I also need to practice my drawing skills because if I don't get the line right (in this case, barn should have been wider and the roof line is wrong) I can't erase to make it better. P.S. this is painted on Selinnier LaCart 9x12.<br /><br />I can't turn off the underlining no matter how many times I click the button above.</span></a></span></div>

I zoomed in and focused on the flower since it was for a Flower challenge. I love how well the piano keys turned out. So far this is my favorite painting (partly because of the piano). It's on two Royal and Langnickel 5x7 pages taped together to create a 10x7 painting.Cherihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00068209185406459074noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712526267885958964.post-70210519308322621562015-06-06T19:54:00.000-05:002015-06-06T19:54:22.466-05:00"I'm not impressed" paintingsHaven't posted in a while, but wanted to document my awful practice pastel paintings. The first two were on sanded construction paper. I have seen videos of pastelists painting on colored ground so I tried it out to see how I like it. Not so sure I do. Also, forgive the shadows of the tall grass - lawnmower won't cut and even if we could, ground is too wet anyway.<br />

Except for the blue, I used the same palette as before. Used a lighter, warmer, "sky blue" this time.</div>

Black is an interesting color to work on...you can still see it through the ice cream (but I figured it would show through) and it really made my colors POP more than I thought (I've mainly worked on white or cream papers before, so that's why I wanted a cheap way to try colored papers). Except for the pink not being as solid looking as I'd like, I'm actually pleased with it because for my skill level, it's good. :) I haven't sprayed a fixitive on it yet so I don't know if I could get the pink "more solid" by doing that or not. I think I need more peach.</span> </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Horses are my favorite subject (I have to settle for painting since I can't afford to own one) and I took the challenge to create a painting in a long style (could be a web page banner).

<span style="background-color: white;">The tree's leaves don't look that bright to my eye as it is showing up in the camera's eye. Otherwise, I'd say that's a fairly accurate color representation. The horses almost seem to glow/look like they weren't painted, but I did use light gray and white to paint them so they are painted. LOL For some reason, I got it into my head to put a ragged border to look like torn paper and I like how it turned out (even if I didn't like removing all the bits of tape from the paper so it's not something I think I'll do often). </span></div>

<br />
I inked up an embossing folder then ran the card base thru the cuttlebug to make the background. The tag and ribbon I've had for a while. When I'm ready for a sentiment, I'll probably put it on the tag since it's plainer than the card.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking,<br />
