CED: Poetry

Look inside my eyes 

and see

the very heart of me

My joys 

My fears

My hopes

and tears

Look inside my eyes

and you'll see

the deepest part of me

The theme for Creative Everyday is poetry. I was looking for a poem to go with my painting The Look  nothing really said what I wanted so I attempted my own little simple poem. I am not a poet!

Painting in My Sketchbook Giant

This is a painting from my giant mix media sketchbook. I generally just paint it. I have no plans when I start with a blank page. It's a good creative exercise for me especially since I'm afraid of color.

Happy to be me!

Last night I learned something about myself. I am not a person who can stick to one style of art. I like everything and my mood changes. So I'm going to stop trying to be like others and be myself as I have done with the rest of my life. Here is some of my art musings from yesterday and I'm happy.

AEDM: Day 28, 29,30 The End

Day 28 Am I Blue?

It's the end of the Art Everyday Month. I didn't get to post because of holidays. Thanksgiving was at our home this year. My husband has 6 siblings, some their children, 3 of our daughters, plus grand nieces, nephews plus mother-in-law, my house was full. We had great fun and fellowship. Here are the last of my creations.

Day 29 Send in the clowns!

Day 30 Sunday Face

AEDM: Day 18 The Unfinished Blue Girls

I didn't get to finish these girls, but I'm going to post them any way.

AEDM: Day 17, 18, & 19 That Blue Girl

I have been so busy preparing for my daughters 15th  birthday celebration that at the end of the day when I laid down to take a quick nap I just didn't have enough steam to get back up. Well now its over and I can get back to art.

I'm posting 3 drawings to make up for the days I miss. They are a continuation of my Blue Girl series. As I was doing these it made me think back to watching the Mary Tyler More Show and That Girl in the 70's. I guess it's the clothing. I wish I had time to put detail in the background of my drawings.

AEDM - Day 16: That Blue Girl

Another little drawing of that Blue Girl Series. When I was a teen I thought I would live in New York, I loved the city, never in a million years did I think I would live in the south, married to a southerner. In life you can't always predict how things will turn out. But LIFE IS GOOD!

AEDM- That Blue Girl

 Since I am working on conquering my fear of color in my sketchbook I decided  to add these little drawings called "That Blue  Girl". The title is based on what my best friend mother would call me. I don't think she ever called me by my first name, she just always called me by my last name which was Blue and would refer to me as that Blue girl. I was excited and went out and purchased a lot of sharpies. I like  my little drawing but I was unable to draw more in the background. When I look at it the memory of how I loved to be outside in the fall enjoying the crisp air as a teen.

Face 4 - Innocent

I'm not that innocent!

Sometimes the quiet, demure ones are not innocent at all, they just deceive with their looks.

#1- Reaching Goals

I set a goal for myself to finish at least 12 paintings this year. That is 1 per month. Although I started this painting in Dec. I just finished it so it counts as my first painting for 2010. The inspiration for this painting came from http://www.flickr.com/photos/waitingforsophie/3459748058/

My Character

I think I finally found a character that I like. She is "That Blue Girl." The name refers to what my friend's parents called me. I worked hard on it today.
