My Creative Spot Blog: over worked but improved
http://hammeredplayer.blogspot.com/2009/07/over-worked-but-improved.html
My Creative Spot Blog. Thursday, July 23, 2009. Over worked but improved. This is about learning so I forgot about loose and tried to fix some of the things I did not like about this the first time I "finished the path" (see previous post for first version) - I added more- and lightened the sky - - darkened tree foliage - warmed up the path- added a few foreground darks - -.

My Creative Spot Blog. Monday, September 7, 2009. Baby steps no acrylic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I was recently diagnosed with stage IV small cell lung cancer - so I am enjoying my life and living one day at a time - Making art makes me happy. I play hammered dulcimer and that makes me happy too. I have a great husband and our two grown children are married so now we have four wonderful children.

My Creative Spot Blog: Ashley's Iris
http://hammeredplayer.blogspot.com/2010/01/ashleys-iris.html
My Creative Spot Blog. Friday, January 1, 2010. Took lots of reference photos when we were at Lars and Ashleys this spring this iris was from her garden- the black background evolved when the original watercolor pencil background failed - watercolor pencil on fabriano HP 140lb paper approx 5" x 10". I really want to get back to making more art and watching less TV. What a wonderful way to start 2010. Happy New Year! January 1, 2010 at 4:07 PM. Hope you have a wonderfully creative new year!

My Creative Spot Blog: another try at Pastel landscape
http://hammeredplayer.blogspot.com/2010/06/another-try-at-pastel-landscape.html
My Creative Spot Blog. Saturday, June 5, 2010. Another try at Pastel landscape. Still working on getting looser and how to do leaves against the sky so the leaves and the sky do not look choppy. I do not like the leaves and sky area in this and it is not fixable so I think I need to do some small practice studies so I can figure out how to get the look I want. I tried a watercolor underpainting. Well, I think its gorgeous! I want to take a walk down that path with you. June 5, 2010 at 3:12 PM. I was rece...

My Creative Spot Blog: working on loose
http://hammeredplayer.blogspot.com/2009/07/working-on-loose.html
My Creative Spot Blog. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. I like this a lot 11 1/2" x 7" on bristol - crayon and colored pencil - I took reference photos of these pears last December but never did anything with them - I want to get looser and working with crayons is helping me do that - it is also hard to overwork it because you can't get anything to stick to the paper after a layer or two with the crayons -. I like this too! Ive always loved loose strokes of color. Your pears are brilliant. Still working on loose.
