Another Professional Photo

Here is another professional photo by Photo Factory, this is "In Kandinsky Time". It's a felted piece that has been sewn to a painted canvas. The canvas is deep with wrap around edges so it doesn't need framing.

This is the professional photo that I had taken by Photo Factory of "Another Place In Time". They do excellent work and are very reasonably priced. This one is framed with a black wooden frame as pictured.

I really enjoyed making this felted piece.

Party Animals - Gone Fishing

Here is a second oil painting that is almost finished. I've named this one Party Animals - Gone Fishing. Once again, this is a still life. The ceramic fish and the funky ceramic vase were purchased at the City Arts Center pottery sale. They teach pottery lessons and have this sale once a year as a fund raiser. Some of the pottery is made by students and some by the teachers (I believe), anyway they had some great pottery pieces at rock bottom prices.

Party Animals

I'm a fiber artist by heart but I also love to paint so I've taken up oil painting once again. Carla Houston, a good friend of mine, has been coming over to paint with me and also offers her expertise. She has been a big help and it's so much more fun to have a painting buddy. We have been setting up still life's like the one pictured here. The funny little wooden carved animals in the painting are called Party Animals that I bought at a World Neighbors Festival. The set contains 6 animals that are setting on chairs around a table in the shape of Africa. We only used three of the Party Animals in this still life setting and added a ball of silk yarn and merino roving.....we had to throw in fiber! I have four paintings started so I'll upload the others when they are finished. The one pictured is almost finished.
