Pimp My Bag

The few of us attending Art Club last night customized our reusable shopping bags in a variety of styles. I decided that I would like mine to look somewhat 'tattoo-ish' so chose a dragon and blossoms. Pen and ink with acrylic paint. The remainder of my collection will eventually feature various tatto inspired images.

Beware Of Moose

Look what I witnessed just as I was leaving Dairy Queen with my chicken strips -
(pardon the fuzzy photo) it's a moose putting the run on a couple out walking with their dog. It wasn't exactly high speed, more like a trot but they had to find refuge at the bar there.
So yeah...I just saw a moose chase 2 people into a bar.

Leaves On Mossy Log

This is the acrylic painting that started as a lesson with the Seniors on Saturday. At the end of class someone commented that this was another painting for my exhibit so after mulling that over I decided to keep working on it at home. So here it is.

Autumn Colours

...................................................................................................................................................................
............................................................oh, man....just came to...and right on time to snap a few photos of the fallen leaves! Would have been nice if the light had been better but I need some reference pics for the Senior's Acrylic class (that I'll be drenching with my nasty flu germs) tomorrow morning.

Revelation?

I just discovered that I can drink and paint! Now - is this a good thing or a very, very bad thing!? Only time will tell.
My trees are a little extra tilted however...

Mossy Arms


In the dark, dark woods. I sketched the branches eons ago while camping at Lakelse Lake.
hmmm...'The Mossy Arms'...doesn't that kind of sound like a drinking establishment?

Orcas/Bears/Eagles In The City

...the coffee table book has been published and I'm on page 168.

Except...my freakin' bear is standing on a plastic drop sheet in front of a crappy partition and everyone else seemed to get a lovely photo of their creation wherever it was put on display either before or after the auctions.
(the husband said it looks as though my bear is trying to take a dump)*

At the time I thought it was sort of a working/in progress type depiction of my bear.
I mean - come on! - couldn't someone have taken one more photograph of say...it standing outside the King Edward Hotel in Stewart where it lives now?
Wouldn't that remote spot have been rather cool??
We're talking about an $84 coffee table book here.
How could anyone consider allowing that photo in there?

*from the start I did think it would be funny if I'd glued a bunch of pebbles together to leave below the piece as something that actually would have crapped out of a Glacier Bear
