A little bit kooky & quirky. Always fun and looking on the bright side even if it gets ridiculous!

More Sandrine Pelissier Flowers














Can you see the flowers in the 1st photos before I negative painted around them as shown in the 2nd photos?
1st one is done on clayboard which I really liked.  Very smooth and good for use with ink.
2nd one is done on Yupo paper paper - another new thing for me.

These are days 16 - 20 of my Paintings-A-Day.  They are still taking a big chunk out of my day with time spent doing 'dress rehearsals' which help me finalize a good composition.  Throughout my day, I am also constantly thinking/looking for the next appealing subject.  It's sounds easier than it is.  Sure, I might think painting a calculator or my printer is appealing, but does anyone else?

I've recently put a few on my etsy shop, so if you like any of these or the previous days' paintings, check out: Etsy - doo wadda wadda art-connie christensen

Floral Field


So, funny story. . . 

'Floral Field' was on exhibit at Jayne Creighton's 'Surface Works' art show this weekend.  Unfortunately, it accidentally picked up some black oil paint smudges on 2 sides from another artist's piece.  Not good.  Artist Barry Lorne (look him up) conferred with me on the problem of how to remove the oil smudges and I was all set to pick up my painting this morning and rectify the situation using various means.  (I since found out Barry also did a little searching later on what to do and I do appreciate the time he took to help me.)

When I called Jayne this morning to arrange pickup she said the smudges were gone.  Thanks to the expertise of fellow artist Brittney Lintick (look her up) those smudges miraculously disappeared using a common substance we all have.  She and Jane went at my painting with resolve, Qtips and spit! Problem solved in 5 minutes.  Britney says she has had this problem before and knew exactly what to do.  I love the generosity of both artists and the host of the show who all had my back.

And just to give the story an even happier ending, the painting sold!  I've always loved this one and  I was not so patiently waiting for it to get a new home.   Done.

Floral Field



















After painting the mittens, I felt I needed to do something to hang on to summer for just a little bit longer.  I think this floral field does the trick.
