Here is a painting i did on old typewriting paper from a photo i took in Cape Cod. Looking at those roses and honeysuckle brought back some good memories.... I love painting with watercolors on this old paper.
Wow! This is beautiful, Mare! Makes me want to go to Cape Cod - I've never been but this is exactly how I imagine it! You have done some beautiful work while I've been away!
This is beautiful Mare! I think you're amazingly clever to be able to paint like this! THanks for your sweet comments on Dudley and my blog, and for noticing about my new header! Yes I did do the embroidery, it's a square from a quilt I did in my bluework/redwork faze. Honestly unlike riding bikes, embroidery is super super easily, if you can paint like this you can embroider. I didn't design the drawing myself, it's an old design from a Teddy Bears days of the week, on Wednesday teddy sews, so that's how I got my name.( in case your were interested.)
Thank you Stacy and Jess. I haven't taken enough time to just sit and paint lately. I've been busy with the jewelry and sewing the dolls. But i am going to make myself sit and start working with mixed media-acrylic, gel medium, collage,pencils, and whatever else i can slap onto a canvas or wooden surface. I have so many new ideas...i just have to sit down and DO it! Do either of you take a specific amount of time during the day or week and dedicate it to your art? I just grab what i can and work when i can...
Art is so fascinating. I don't know quite what it is that an artist captures ... a perfect impression of a place. I guess that's why they invented the term "Impressionism." It's a beautiful painting, and it captures the Cape just as I remember it. It's a very specific place, and you totally grabbed ahold of it. Lovely!
Wow! City Mouse, you almost made me cry! Thank you and everyone for the great suppport you give by leaving comments. It is so helpful to get someone else's perspective on what i am doing. Thank so much friends....
Thank you Ananda! I too love the smell of honeysuckle. It's right up there in intensity with lilac and lily scents. The bees and hummers love it too...
