Day 7....A Bad, Bad Drawing..

I try...really, really hard to draw, and I'll admit, I am lousy at it...why, because I don't do it often enough to get better...
so, I have been trying to do it every day as well...this only started a few days ago...so, here goes....the bird was one that I did on yesterday, and this morning, I tried to draw my watercolor set that was sitting on my desk...


This girl needs a lot more practice....
Until next time,

Day 6....Almost Slipped by Me!!!

Hi Everyone,

Today flew by...I caught snippets of time in my studio, but for me, its the posting that just seems to get away from me.

Todays journal page is another rule for me....that I HAVE to plan my day...just have to....I realized that I was just wandering aimlessly, and wondering where all the time would get to...no plan for me means absolutely nothing done...zilch! We will see how well that goes :)

Until next time,

Ophelia

Day 5...

Ok...first, I can't believe that I have actually posted to my blog every day for 5 straight days....I usually go to my studio every day, but its the posting that seems to get lost.
Each day though, I have been really looking forward to getting up there and working to get something - anything started...
Today is my lame attempt at drawing...its supposed to be a fence :( . I have been practicing my drawing somewhat this summer, so, it will be getting there...one day.



I also realized that the writing didn't show up as well in my scan...it says Get off the fence and get into the Game! That's a lesson learned in "values"
Until next time,
Ophelia

Day 4....

I hope you guys are all enjoying your day....

It was another day of up early and heading off to a baseball game...enough already, I say....

I caught a few snippets of time in the studio between our neighborhood picnic...and managed to get these two backgrounds done...

These backgrounds were done on canvas - I know, right!!! I always cringe when it comes to working on a canvas...I don't know why, but I do....but here are my beginnings....

I was playing around with paints, inks, stencils, flexible modeling paste, glass beads, and stamps...pure experimentation and play, and it was oh, so fun!

Not sure of where I will go with these next, but its a start...

Hope to see you guys here again tomorrow...

Until next time,

Ophelia

Day 3....and its still Early!!!

Good Morning Blog Friends...

I got up early again this morning...and headed off to my little corner of paradise....

Day 3 is done!! Now, to get packed for my demo at Jerry's today!

One thing I have already learned from my 3 day adventure.....I have a LOT of stuff to use!!! Its really sick....no one "really" needs 7 sets of watercolor pencils...really...so, creating everyday will definitely help to use up some of the stuff that I have...

Until next time,

Ophelia

Day 2 of Art Bliss...

It's day 2....and, guess what....I've been in my studio today!!! Even after starting my morning by getting up at 5:30, not for my usual art making fun, but packing it up in the car and heading to Rocky Mount for some steamy baseball playing love!

My son was invited to play with the Raleigh Titans this weekend and he had a blast....if one could have a blast in that kind of weather....his mission, get his brand new - very white pants dirty!! Mission Accomplished.

We got home a bit ago, and after a long shower - and quick nap, I headed straight to my little corner of paradise.....

Day 2 is done! Hope to see you all tomorrow for day 3! Wish me luck!!! I will certainly need it.

And...thank you all so very much for your encouragement on this little challenge I have for myself....your comments mean the world to me!!

Until next time,

Ophelia

It's Day One....

I have been such a serious slacker on my blog for the last few months, and certainly have been a slacker at visiting all of my favorite blogs out there....

I have decided that I wanted to create - everyday for one month....AND, I'm going to blog it...thats right, you heard me...I'm going to create something, anything everday...even if it is one of my very lame attempts at drawing, and it will be here on my blog every day for a month....now this is pretty big for a gal that goes weeks without a simple hello...but I will do my best...

So, here goes with day one...

So...wish me luck....its way after my bed time here....but I was bound and determined not to blow it on the first day....

We have baseball...all weekend long this weekend...even Monday...Jeez...so, I will be arting on the go and it will show up right here tomorrow...oh dear, wish me luck!!

Until next time,

Ophelia
