It All Comes Out in the Wash

It really does. I’ve been super busy lately so it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Good busy. Painting quite a bit, won an award for People’s Choice with one of my pieces which was unexpected but really nice. Also I’m VP of our local Art Guild so that has kept me pretty busy too.

‘It All Comes Out in the Wash’ 16×20 oil on board, 975-

Some fun things are coming up pretty soon so I am going to be switching over to  Mail Chimp to send out my blog posts/emails. This is my trial run so bear with me if it doesn’t work right lol. Hopefully you only get one email!

Hope you are all well and painting away.

xo,

Pam

Combining Two Passions

August 8, 2022 By in art, art at the speed of life, art every day, artist, Oil painting, Still Life Painting, yarn bowl Tags: , , , , , , , 3 Comments

So some of you may know that I love to knit as well as creat art. It’s something completely different and so relaxing and I love the feel of amazing yarns. It’s sometimes a battle between the two as to where I spend my time lol. I also recently began a venture into oil painting. I’ll talk more about this later, it’s really been a learning curve!

Setting up a still life to paint from requires some thought and while I’m only 8 paintings in so far, I have been loving painting some of my favorite things around the house which is where I got the inspiration to paint my other passion!

Yarn Bowl 8×10 oils

This is my favorite yarn bowl, yes I have several lol, and the knitting needles my dad found for me several years ago so they are extra special. They are hand carved antiques that are well-worn. I don’t use them but I do display them in a bowl with some yarn balls on my coffee table.

I added a gallery for my oil paintings on my gallery page. I’m loving learning something new and working outside my comfort zone,

Lost and Found

Found 16×24 mixed media acrylics

Finished this piece a few weeks back and it’s in a gallery show right now. The bird was inspired by a picture that a neighbor took, and you could clearly see it had something in its mouth. I have it holding one of the pearl buttons from this woman’s dress and if you look closely you can see the loose threads where it fell from. Hope you are enjoying summer, it’s sure hot in Texas! I will share my oil paintings in a future post. Trying something new and loving it.

Best,

Pam
