On My Desk Wednesday

I'm using some downtime to work on a few projects that have been put on the backburner lately. 

On My Desk Wednesday

I've been thinking about painting more animals, with simple shapes and colors, perhaps to hang in kids' rooms.  And this morning, while brushing my teeth, I had a thought: Dumbo! Elephant! Feather! Funny how ideas just pop into your head while you're doing the most routine of things. So after dropping the kiddo off at school, I headed down to the studio and painted, painted, painted. Since it is painted with oils it'll take a few days to dry. Then I'll paint sides black and attach picture wire to the back. Soon after that it'll be listed on the Etsy shop. I might just do a series of circus animals...hmmmmmmm.

Chi-Chi-Chicken Painting

During a conversation today, a friend suggested that I paint more roosters, since people love roosters and will buy paintings of them, especially in the South. It's been on my art to-do list for awhile, and since I have the awful habit of procrastinating, I decided to put off another project just to paint a rooster. I also decided to record the process.



I had originally uploaded another song to the video, but my husband suggested another. When he played The Cramp's Chicken, I knew it was the best song for my video! Many thanks to the hubby and his music collection. 

Waiting for Paint to Dry

Quick, loose paintings to warm up my hands and creativity. I need to do this every morning. Both paintings are in oil so I've got to wait for them to dry before listing them in my Etsy shop.
