I have posted two photographs this time so that you have plenty of subjects to choose from. Use these photos however you like. Choose a single subject, subjects from both photos, whatever you like!

Monday, January 5, 2015. First Painting of the New Year- Many Lessons Learned. In the past year, due to family health issues and needed support, my time in the studio has been limited to an afternoon here, a morning there, and a painting always waiting for the next step. I am not the most patient painter. I like the spontaneity of creating with plenty of surprise elements to keep me interested. However, I also paint ideas, which has been a good thing for this period of time. Why? The repeated wetting of ...

Saturday, June 28, 2014. Niggling" a Painting to Completion. Niggling" is a term the wonderful artist Carla O'Conner. Uses to describe the artist's last touches to a painting. This is where you stand back and look for the parts that niggle or pester you and you know you have to dig into the tools and adjust the painting to make it stronger. And LaVonne Tarbox Crone. I have made both significant and minor changes. Another art friend, Kathy Tiger. Wednesday, June 11, 2014. I darkened the upper legs of the ...

Sunday, November 16, 2014. A Morning of Making Snakes. Could you say no to this little guy? However, late May brought wonderful weather. Rachel (Mom) came home, big sister, Marin, and Josh (Dad) all gathered next door to us in Blue River. The days of crafting went by the wayside. I did make a promise to Noah, way back when, that we would make a stuffed animal , and as you probably know, kids never forget anything. Of course, everyone can play with a snake- at least these stuffed ones! As many of you know...

Sunday, March 15, 2015. Choosing Art Workshops: This was for fun. By day two, all the workshop participants had prepared many pieces of papers to marble, which is its own process and needs to be done a day ahead of the actual marbling. After watching Liz show us several different methods of using the marbling technique, we were like horses at the starting line itching to begin. If you are interested in seeing original art using the marbling technique, check out these websites. That is why I will stow awa...

Sunday, December 21, 2014. A December to Remember (Thus Far). Although the month is not over, it has certainly been memorable. On December 1, I took down an exhibit of my paintings that had hung for a month in the Unitarian Universal Church Eugene. Although the viewers of such a show is limited, it was a lovely space and rewarding for me to see so much of my work hung together. Thank you to my sister Janice, who is a member of the congregation, for arranging this event for me. Life Cycle Imperitive #5.

MSGodfreyArt: Heading Back to Ventura
http://margaretgodfreyart.blogspot.com/2015/07/heading-back-to-ventura.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. Heading Back to Ventura. As I plan for the upcoming 2 weeks in Ventura with Katherine Chang Liu, it seems like a good time to assess what has come from last year's art retreat. There is, of course, assembling my art supplies and shipping them, packing clothes, planning transportation. But as I assemble the eight photos for Katherine's viewing where she'll help guide me on my journey, some of my own ideas come to light. 29 x 22, Transparent watercolor. 29 x 22, Transparent watercolor.

Thursday, October 23, 2014. More Small Works on Paper. Yesterday my good friend, Ruth Armitage. Posted a link to to a book "Daily Painting: Paint Small and Often to Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist." You know how something said, or an article you read, or (in this case) a book title is just what you need to spur you on? Sometimes I find it easier to work on "stuff" rather than start with white paper. So I tried to capture some more successful parts of these 12 x 15 inch papers.

Saturday, August 16, 2014. Heading Off to Art Camp. To be honest, the title of the blog is deceptive. I do not need to take bug repellent, hiking boots, canteen, tent or sleeping bag. I will not make a lanyard or write home. I hope I won't cry every night. What feels like going to camp is that dangling of the unknown. Am I up to the tasks ahead of me? Will I fit into the group I'm about to join? Will I be able to get swept away into the new environment? Did I pack everything I need? On Monday I sent a gi...
