Houses on Canvas

I had a long weekend this past weekend.  As always I headed into a weekend with pent up creativity and finished up a piece I had been working on.  I then found myself looking at a new blank canvas.  Ah what to do with it?

SKETCH

I had done a cute houses sketch in my sketchbook the night before and thought why not?  It might look cool if I did it on canvas. So with my sketch close by I re-created with a little different outcome onto my canvas.  Funny how they are so similar but come across differently in different mediums.

I like them both but actually think I might go back into my sketchbook and add the flowers.  The sketch just might be my favorite of the two.  Hmmm...don't know?!

Studio cleaning

So, its been a long time coming.  This studio/office cleaning project.  My gosh!  A person doesn't realize what they hold on to thinking it might be needed in the future.  When in reality I am finding....you usually don't!
So I've been absent from making a post for a couple of weeks because I just haven't found the time to sit down and do this plus last weekend this cleaning project had no choice but to begin.
Most Saturdays begin with a bit of sleeping in and a relaxing day that may eventually mean taking in a movie or eating out, shopping possibly and so on.  Well not so last weekend.  It was decided by the man of the house that it would be great fun to go get oil changed in a vehicle and go to Home Depot.  Really?
Yes, really!  But after succumbing to the the plans laid before me I ended up on the receiving end of a great project. (Thank you dear :) )

I'm not one to put things up all over the wall.  Odd huh, being I make stuff to hang?  So I have a few shelves that I line up with my art and hand a few on the wall while the rest get stacked here and there.  So my wonderful husband kept insisting I needed to be able to hang and display so while on the Home Depot excursion which then became a Lowe's excursion, he designed and made this big wall frame with adjustable dowels to allow me to hang and move art!  It's wonderful, cost $40 in materials and paint, and took him all of 3 hours to make, paint, and hang it!

p.s.  My latest piece is in the lower right corner.
