Phooey--Artist Block


hi, Ir's been one of those weeks where I've painted each day but have had a painter's block. Just not turned out what was me at the time. Here is finally what I'm pleased with-- so far. I'm not finished. I want to touch up the impatiens briefly and add the Heron's back. 

I wanted to tell you about our new addition.. It's Cupcake. Our new kitten. She is very shy. Sadie -our lab-hasn't met her yet. We are taking it slowly, getting her used to us.

I've gotten in my Brusho Art Crystals. They are different. I like them but not for everything. Wet the paper and then sprinkle the crystals on it and they burst into brilliant starbursts. Don't use the brush too much or they lose the burst. That is what I've learned about it so far.

Hope you are happily painting and not blocked and grumbling like I have been.. love to each of you,Diana

  3. I've never heard of those... they sound lovely! Your painting is gorgeous! I'm not sure what Sherlock would make of a cat... He would probably chase it!! He's never met one before :0)

  5. Love your painting. Look up Joanne Boon Thomas on google for more brusho ideas. It's an exciting medium.

  6. Diana, you are allowed to grumble once in a while :)
    And Cupcake, what I can see of her, looks adorable!

  7. Dear Diana - you might have artist block but you sure don't show it here in this gorgeous painting. Hope you take a close up pic of Cupcake...kittens are so fun. I am sure Sadie will adjust - may take some time but they will be friends before you know it. Have a lovely week.

  9. Diana, thank you for your compliment on the frog. I think he was the best I could do while being under the shadow of painters block. Let's hope both out blocks disappear soon!
