tacos, dogs, Texas laws… giggles

07/25/2010 · 3 Comments

This was a lazy Sunday.  No art,  just played on Facebook…. I did learn some things about a new paint I want to try.  Facebook is so good for that. I try to friend as many artists as possible.  Post a question, and someone will give you what they know about it.  What generous people.

A big fat nap was required today.  Herbert needed it badly… so I had to go along with the idea. That dog works hard harassing Shirley the cat.  He needs his rest.  Now we have a stray kitten.  So far it’s not requiring petting,  but I’m working on him.  At least he’ll eat cat food.

R made crunchy tacos for supper. Oh, soooo gooood!  You know how you get hungry for a certain taste?  I’m fat and happy!  He got the seasoning perfect.  I’m not crazy about Taco seasoning… so we do it from scratch. Taco Snobs! eek!

OK,  I’m done.. roll me over.  Hope you had a positive weekend… everything you wanted it to be.  Now make this week something you’ll be proud of.  Share your good mood.  Share a giggle… they’re contagious.  Decide to be happy.  It’s your choice!

When you’re just so terribly bored….

and thanks for reading my craziness…

It’s required in Texas to put entirely too many words in every sentence… did you know that? Well, it’s the God’s Honest Truth.   And you’re required to tell big fat lies every chance you get.  Yes,  we have weird laws… but we’re happy!

folk art paintings, primitive paintings…

07/15/2010 · 4 Comments

I love Buster, Bonita, & Blue.   I’ll have to tell you the story on Buster and Bonita some time.  It’s true, and it’s sooo funny. 

The 3 cats are fun… they stay in trouble but are the best of friends. Can’t seperate them.

Crows & Moons… I can’t get enough of them.  3rd time I’ve used this idea, and it always comes out different.  I really like this one.  Smilin’ moon,  now that’s the best.

All of these and more are on my new website.  Click my name and it’ll magically take you there… or something like that.

I’ll be showing these soon at my first Art Party.   Make sure you’re on my email  mailing list so you’ll be invited.  If you haven’t gotten an email from me in awhile,  or you’ve changed servers,  you’re not on the list.  Oh, no!  Better fix that soon.  You don’t want to miss out on the fun.    ~PJ

WIP

This purse has got a ways to go before it’s finished.  But I’m liking the dog so much,  I had to show him too.  The B&W check is going to be the lining.  Kinda wild,  huh?  So far,  I’ll working on this one while I wait for paint to dry on the fish purse.  I can’t just sit still.  Drives me crazy.  I’m making these up as I go along.  Yes,  I had a pattern,  but I can not stick to those things.  Gotta do it my way.  Which drives some folks crazy.  A  friend…  former acquaintance use to  say.. “PJ you always have to do it your way”.   Well,  I’d hope so,  it’s my life,  my art.  Why would I want her to screw it up?  LOL…  Makes me giggle just thinking about it….

This one has beads,  lots of metallic threads, buttons.  I’m really liking this one.  Got a crazy idea for the edge.  Hope it does what I want it to do.  It won’t break my heart if it doesn’t.  That’ll just head me in a different direction.  The shiny threads and beads didn’t show up well in this photo.  But they sparkle in the light.  Very fun.  I still haven’t started the shoulder strap.  Hope to get that done tomorrow. 

I think I’m going to put the same b&w check lining in this one also.  Love that fabric… it’ll pop when you open the purse.  Yes,  I am having fun.  The flu/plague interrupted for a few days,  but I got lots of beading/painting done today. 

Hope I have lots to show you tomorrow.  Have a great Sunday.  Feed the birds,  it makes them happy. xo PJ

folk art painting…

This isn’t the greatest photo.  I had to take it with my small camera.  The other one decided it’s battery was tired.  I hate when that happens. 

This is that cute family that I’ve been doing the  portrait for.  I’ve taken way too long to do it.  Stuff just kept getting in my way.  Right now it has the first coat of varnish waiting to dry.  I’m hoping to have it ready to hang this afternoon.  Keep your fingers crossed….

day 10,11,12….

02/22/2010 · 2 Comments

The rumor is not true.  I did not die. :)   Oh, laugh… I thought it was funny.  I had that horrible, nasty, yucky virus that’ll make you wish you were dead.  Whoever breathed on me is in big trouble. 

I think I’ve been healed of that stuff.  Lost 5 lbs.  I plan on gaining that back today.  Got a Sara Lee cheese cake for backup.  I cannot start loosing this figure now.  All that food was an investment.

Got my day started at a run.  I’m headed to the studio (the other end of this very tiny house) to slap more paint on that sweet family.  Gotta work on those faces.  She said it didn’t have to look like them,  but get the dogs right. Ha!  Just kidding.  They do have good looking dogs…

In case you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about… I think I talked about it in my last post. It’s a commission I’m doing.  That rumor about me going crazy is not true.  Check it out on Snopes.com.   Ha! Can you tell I’m in a really good mood? 

Have a very nice Sunday.  xo PJ

day 9…

02/19/2010 · 5 Comments

Guess what I did today?  Yes,  I’m still dancing…. but…. I painted,  I sketched,  I got paint on me.  Then I did it some more.  It felt soooo gooood! 

I worked on a commission that I shoulda already finished.  But my life got in my way.  Those very nice people have not complained one time.  They are the best.

 Today was a really good day.  The sun was shining,  and  I just couldn’t stop grinning.  Shirley snored through my great mood.  Didn’t expect anything else from her.

Back to the commission painting.  It’s a family portrait. It’s gonna be sooo fun.  It’s got everybody in it, then I added some more.  Ha!  It is so busy, can’t wait to slap more paint on it tomorrow.  Here’s a sneak peak….

I’ll show the finished painting after……

Yes,  I am bored.  But Herbert agreed to help me out.  I’m looking for a second job.  He suggested massage therapist.  Only working on dogs.  He’s picky like that.  See what you think.  We didn’t edit much.  What you see is what ya get.  Maybe it’ll give ya a giggle…. xoxo
