MASK PROJECT;MORE PROCESS...and a TREAT OR TWO

Another day of process on the MASK PROJECT for the Denver Hospice...you can see that I've added papers over the under painting and have added a few details to the mountains...Next will be to add my paper stream and the aspen I've decided to put on the bottom.  So, this  will really be a little layer painting over a face...I'm getting a kick out of it!

I have a FUN and AWESOME video to share with those of you who know I adore my family and share their lives and talents from time to time.  I believe art is much more encompassing than just what we put on a surface...it is music, poetry, dance...and in the case of my most wonderful son Jonathan Prather his absolute skill on the skateboard.  Recently he was approached by a director DYLAN AVERY who directed and produced (among other things) a Netflix movie called "Loose Change" which is about 911...well, he saw my son as he was working on his skate tricks and asked to shoot him (in film that is...) and this u-tube video was the end result of that moment in time...I am QUITE PROUD of my son and wanted to share this link as I've yet to figure out how to share a u-tube video directly to this blog...SO, for those of you interested...it's called
SLOWBOARDING in OB. (click on that)... ENJOY! Oh...this is my most talented boy!

AND, because it's Valentines Day, and as I've promised to share reference material for you to paint if you wish, AND because my husband ROCKS and brought me these lovely VALENTINES DAY FLOWERS I'm sharing some of the pretty pics I've gotten so far!!  HAPPY VALENTINES DAY and 

HAPPY CREATING!!

He asked me one day what kind of flowers I wanted for "sometime" and I promptly replied SUNFLOWERS AND RED ROSES...and...bless him if he didn't find a few sunflowers for me in February!!  AWESOME HUBBY!
