FRIGHT NIGHT - ATC CARD

I know that Halloween has gone by - but I am just using different elements
to work with - experimenting with color and such -
this one seems a bit dark to me - well you tell me
Here is my newest ATC card:

the green face is kind of odd - maybe that is where
I have a problem - but the card is a bit comical - and since
I made it - I wanted to share it.
Seems like AEDM and NAPLOBOMO are flying by - at least
to me they are--so far so good~
Thanks for stopping by.
PEACE AND HAPPY CREATING~!~

SAND CASTLES - ATC CARD


I thought I would keep the theme going and just change the look
around on this ATC card---I think I am stuck on
all the vibrant colors - just makes me happy!!
So here is my newest card:

I could not resist because I just love sand castles--
hope it brings a smile to your face.
Thanks for the feedback - it truly helps the healing and
makes me feel like I am moving forward with
my art!!

SPLASH - ATC CARD

Well for today I needed a change - I did not want to stick to one form of
creativity--I like playing around with digital anything that I can create - so
I decided to play with ATC cards (Artist Trading Cards). Now I am
sure that everyone has heard about them but in case you have not
they are small "canvases" of artwork (anything) the size of 2.5 x 3.5.
Very small and fun--you can do a million things with them - that is why I like

them - there is no limit--the possibilities are amazing!
So I did this one for today -


I am so loving the bright vibrant colors - just makes me want
to go to the beach--LOL.
I do try to keep my ATC cards simple - little stories-easy pictures..
I think sometimes you can put too much and lose anything you are
trying to express! (just my opinion)
I also wanted to say - THANKS SO MUCH - for all the feedb
ack in the comment
section --I am touched by all the support and encouragement - again Thanks!
PEACE AND HAPPY CREATING~!~

YELLOW NARCISUSS


Yes I know - I have painted another yellow flower but it seems I am attracted to
very bright and vibrant colors and I cannot help myself - LOL.
Yellow is a color that makes people happy (
whether they know it or not)....it
also gives off or makes one feel very energetic - so perhaps that
is why I am prone to painting more yellow flowers then other colors...hmmm!
Well it is Day 4 and here is my painting for today-

This is a yellow Narcisuss..almost looks like a daffodil--
I like finding pictures that have a bright subject and the background
is darker--makes those beautiful colors just stand out!!
Anyway--I want to THANK all you wonderful visitors for stopping by-
I appreciate the feedback and kind words--you really are
contributing to a lot of healing for me - and supporting me and
for that there are no words to express how I feel...
Thanks - and Come back tomorrow to see what I have in store-
Peace and Happy Creating~!~

PINK CHAMPAGNE

I am starting to meet so many lovely people through AEDM. Makes me feel really positive about doing these challenges. It is so easy for someone like me, who suffers from severe depression, to get overwhelmed easily - but this is my third year participating in AEDM and this year seems to be filled with more people who reach out to others. The creativity that I have noticed so far just amazes me..I am in awe~!~ Truly I would love a tenth of the talent that I have seen - just amazing. Here is my painting for today: Someone told me it was called "Pink Champagne". I like the name. I also love the pink in it - bright and fun. I am pretty happy with the results - do not worry - I will not be just painting all month - I am going to mix it up a bit because I do not want to feel pressured or bored with only creating one way... So I hope you enjoy my new flower - can you just smell it - LOL. Thanks for stopping by - HAPPY CREATING~!~

CUTE YELLOW FLOWER

Day Two of "the challenges" and so far so good - LOL.
I should have linked to the challenges yesterday in case someone
who stopped by would be able to go check out things for themselves.
Most of the time - my head is going in a thousand different directions
so I tend to leave out a lot....
But if you ever want to know - I also have avatars on my sidebar for both
AEDM and NABLOPOMO
and there you go - both challenges above are linked to their
respective pages - please feel free to check them out for yourself!!
Here is my artpiece for today:

I digitally painted this flower from a photo I received from a friend
of mine - I love the vibrant yellow in this one - I really like the
way it came out - one of my better paintings!!!!
I love painting flowers - nature has the most awesome colors - I
am in awe of it all~!~
Thanks For Stopping By - HAPPY CREATING!

TWO-THIRTY DAY CHALLENGES

WOW - October just flew by me - I was a bit busy and it took off.
I was not really ready for November to start but here we go.
November is both
Art Every Day Month and National Blog Posting Month...
Both are 30 day commitments sort of speak - of course rules were made
to be broken - but the gist is that you complete these projects by participating every
day for one month...last year I was able to do it - and I am going to try again this year.
I am kind of "cheating" here because I am going to use my art
every day as my post for blogging every day - kind of kill two birds with one stone--LOL.
Here is a flower that I digitally painted that I thought I would start off with.....

A yellow hibiscus - I like the way it turned out - tho it is kind of
difficult to see the stamen on it but in general - it came out nice.
So here's to a month of creativity and blogging...
Thanks for sharing it with me~!~
PEACE
