BRAIN ANEURYSM

To all that had been following my blog:

Short note to explain that I did not know that I had a brain aneurysm and on August 22, 2015 it ruptured.
I spent 2 weeks in ICU.  Missed 30 days of work.
BUT through God's mercy and healing I am able to get back to my art and I am loving everyday more and more.

In MY Lifebook Project I CREATED the following projects.

JULY, 2015 Projects and my take on them…

Canvas Painting of a Bird

Took a quick 3 weeks (9 days) class at the local collage BUT truthfully did NOT learn nothing new.
I was disappointed because I wanted to learn new techniques.  All the teacher told us to do was to find a picture online and paint it onto the canvas with acrylic paints.
This is what I did.

This picture was a photograph of a bird.  The background and quote were my ideas to put it all together.

Canvas Painting of a Horse

Charcoal Drawing: Crayons

Took a quick 2 weeks (6 days) class at the local collage BUT truthfully did NOT learn nothing new.
I was disappointed because I wanted to learn new techniques.  I did get to experiment with charcoal pencils which I had never done before.
All the teacher told us to do was to find a picture and sketch it using charcoal pencil.
I used tortillions which I had done before.  This is what I did.
