Paint Party Friday Taken over!

Halloween Henry

Happy Paint Party Friday everyone!! I have been so unproductive this week...my creative mojo has taken a break and all that appeared were a few boring characters!!  Sorry bout that!!

Hank  and Lavender

Interested in human nature I just love reading peoples comments and learning more about them!! It's such a joy to me!  Thanks for sharing, I appreciate all of you so much!!

When my daughter was a teen often times we had PMS at the same time... sometimes I had it twice a month being peri menapausal... I did my own thing...then hopped on board to ride along with her too!! If you get my drift.

One day my daughter was putting her clothes away, I came in her room ranting that her drawers were such and mess and why are they such a mess!! Seriously folks I never gave a dam what the inside of drawer looked in my life!! Not that I didn't keep them neat at times, because I do, I just don't care if I can't see it!!

Casey and Carmen

I didn't put her clothes away and I could care less!! So why was this kooky woman in her room ranting about her drawers when the whole room was spotless and tidy as could be!! I stopped in my tracks. At forty five years old I  stood in the doorway of her room and  had what one might call an epiphany....OH MY GOD.....I had turned into MY MOTHER....AHHHHH!!! Kill me now I thought!! I then burst into laughter...who was that wicked witch reprimanding the one she loved most in the world, over some stupid friggin drawer!! It wasn't even me in that body....I was having an out of body experience...or should I say out of my mind experience!! But hey that's how crazy PMS can be....I apologized for my lapse in sanity.... Explaining that even I didn't recognize myself. I still laugh about that moment...thankfully it was only once. I have better control of that monster now!! But it was an awakening...so if you ever hear your mother taking over your mind and body, and her words trail out of your mouth hole for no good reason....make sure you apologize... because you sure don't want your kids to mistakenly think that's the REAL YOU and carry those memories for the rest of their life!!! Just admit you had a lapse in judgement, that crazy came to visit but you refused to let it stay and you are very very sorry!! I did!!

Paint Party Friday and Summer of Color

Paint party Friday and excellent chance to peek 

into the weekly goings on of some wonderful artists!

Gladys popped off the page after I watched a horrid interview of a mentally ill old actor  on a very popular news show! The guy yelled and swore through the whole hour! I was so frustrated by the end of it I wanted to scream! That's pretty big for peaceful me!! I kept asking myself why I couldn't turn it off since it gave me harsh anxiety while I was watching!! 

This is Rudy, at least that's who he insisted he was! 

I've never known a fat Rudy  so I didn't think it seemed fitting

I thought his name was Tubs.

He looks a little scared of Gladys eh?

Joey

So many people I know are swathed in drama this month. 

It happens to all of us at one time or  another,  fighting

through the anguish, taking  away an appreciation 

for those peaceful moments of joy!

Corbin the Zombie

 I've been walking around like a zombie since sleep seems 

to evade me during our short hot spell.  

Leaving me lots of extra creative time! Don't you find there is a place between Zombiness, and R.E.M sleep that makes you more creative?

 

I just love all the color edits on Joey!

 It was funny because last week I did this duck, 

who also popped off the page, 

quite grumpy I might add!  For Summer of Color!

I started to edit the duck to remove the lettering because I hate it!! 

The edited version turned out terrible!

The quote was fitting on Monday when Cupcake

put her groceries through the self scanner and it was  

talking back at her!

She said she felt like she was in a Saturday Night live skit!!

Not gunna lie, I thought she was 

going to lose it on someone!

It really was like a duck getting mad at a butterfly!!

Quite a silly scenario!

 Especially with so many people suffering!

 Last week I did this journal page! Fill your heart with kindness!

Soon after a friend asked if I had any spare clothes for a woman in need

Funny how it's hard to purge just for the sake of getting rid of it!

But  when you know you can actually help and make a difference 

it's sooooo easy! I often wonder if we get more out of giving

than the person receiving..... I think so!!

Here are the many faces of Rudy, or are they siblings?

Sorry I am so insanely addicted to the color edits!!

My post are becoming crazy long!!

 This is Brave Gladys!

Jealous Gladys

 Angry Gladys

Goth Gladys

Last but not least Crazy Gladys!!

That's all for now folks!

Have a nice weekend!

Paint Party Friday, Perk the Purple Prince and a Painted Chair

Today is Paint Party Friday #18! 

Make sure to visit all the wonderful artists and join in yourself!

This week I have been slightly discombobulated with my sleep. Painting when I can! I promised to show you the Brother to Bubbles, Meet Perk my Purple Prince! Also banished to the garage because of my families disdain! Again, they say he's scary.

 I've continued to work on my chair which is a way bigger task than anticipated! The original  plans for the four chairs were pretty cool,  but I can't find the sketches done a few years ago! So I will be winging it!

I started painting what I could remember of my original plan. But the chair took on a  life of it's own. What started out quite contrived was painted over, for a new direction.  Even I'm surprised at the process and the outcome.   Can't wait to see the finished product! I still have the front rungs to contend with,  Second coats on the bottom and more tweaking! Then many coats of varnish!

 

I had some stripes and polka-dots on the bottom rungs, Darling daughter complained that it was boring and not really me! I laughed knowing it wasn't complete. But she was right, it was just way too planned out! I'm a  spontaneous person, and so is my art! If nothing else, people will smile at my eccentric chairs! I've always been bold with color, no point in stopping now! Happy Paint Party Friday everyone!
