Last potty pics

Today's post is on the art in  Mike's bathroom

 3 Above were bought a few years back with my now 22 yr old son in mind

 These 3 ... 1 made me think of Mike...a head full of numbers and figures

Middle 1 I just got and love the colors! This one made me think of my nephew, now that his Dad has passed, he seems to be a new boy hanging with us (3 boys, Mike Zack & Cal) 

3rd painting is me of course with our beloved Matilda Rae

 My largest one above is also about Mike, this one has many people on his mind.

 The 2 above... 1 made me think of Mike & Zack...being pulled in so many directions

2nd one I had to have, because of my daisy obsession.

 The 2 above. Top one for my brother in law who passed on last summer, he was a fisherman and this some how was a farewell kind of image I had.

The bottom one I bought for Cal, he said he didn't want any people paintings in his room, so I kept it for now. The people in it..man in brown rep. my brother in law, Cal in red at the bottom and my in laws behind them both.

 Top painting made me think of Zack...that he needed to branch out to new friends

Bottom I bought when Zack left for collage

 These 2 small paintings are 

Penelope Picasso and Andy Warhol

from 2004

 My home is filled with art! 

My art and other artists art...sometimes it must feel like we live in my studio.

The man who has done all but the bottom 2 paintings is know in our house as

More bathroom art

 I decided to show some of my other art work from the powder room

 The green framed piece is one of the other Lisa D.'s The two smaller ones with the purplish background is from my collection of Melo Earth. The winged lady and small lady with a towel is from my dear friend Sharon aka around my house know as the purple potato Lady.

 Naked truth, another one of Lisa D.'s 

Maybe tomorrow I'll photograph Mikes bathroom art.

Off to class now

Class starts today

 My class with Misty Mawn has started and I needed to find my charcoals and knew where they were hiding. Once I dug them out and opened my boxes I discovered so much color in them. 

 

My breathing changes when I see these colors...so rich

As I was piling up my baskets of paint, I decided I liked the way this little corner looks there with Mystels two paintings  :  )

 Little Ms. Ladycat looks like she is going to hatch some eggs.

Happy Day to you

3/12/2011 travel art journal

For my birthday last year Mike & the kids gave me a little video camera, but because I was using a rank computer, I could never view or download anything.

Well with my new computer, I've been able to finally download this video taken so long ago. 

Once I can figure out the tripod thing, I'll video me painting something maybe :  )

This was a commissioned travel journal I did last year.

Happy weekend to you

Morning Glory Stained glass window

Here is my Morning Glory window

 A sweet gift from Michael

 Not only do I love stained glass I love Morning Glories 

and these are in oranges and yellows!

 Mike hung it for me this afternoon and I was able to watch the colors changed as the sun set

I love it!

Mother in Laws and Crabtree tins

Years ago when my mother in law retired, I began collecting tins, tins from the Crabtree & Evelyn company, a company that my mother in rept for so many years. Someday I may write a book about them. At this point, I'd like to think I own all of them and even some that were the demo for what the finished one would look like. I do not own any from recent years though. I use some, have a few packed away, I have given them to other family members who also find my mother in law important. Some how all my Crabtree tins have been a shrine of sorts to her for all she has done and who she is to each one of us. I have a 14 ft shelf above my work table in the art room where they are on display.
Here is my dilemma...For Christmas, Mike bought me a 6 ft morning glory stained glass window from this antique store that I had been eyeing for some time. The shelf along the wall also has 14 feet of window, I'm afraid the much loved light that comes through those windows would now become a bit too busy for my purifial vision. Did I mention my collection of Crabtree tins consists of anywhere between 45 & 50. 
Before Mike hangs the window I will climb up there and unfortunately dust and then maybe condense some of the tins, smaller into larger maybe.


I adore my mother in law and miss her living so close.


Since its already 7am I should go get started on that dusting...oh wait, I have to clean the work table so I can stand on it to reach this shelf...Its a good day for cleaning, I'll just keep reminding myself of that
...Thanks for thinking that through with me  ;  )
