I dare you

Here is my second effort. I didn't finish the other side.

I have a huge two volume dictionary; The New Century Dictionary, copyright 1944. It is just full of illustrations. Nearly every page has not one but three or more beautiful little pictures. It has many many birds and winged insects and lots of fish among other things. And millions of words to play with.

I think I will go down this path for a while. This path where I play with words and illustrations and collage them into another little book about words and illustrations.

I dare you.
To do it too.

Desk work



Here is my art-at-the-desk from yesterday as promised. I have to tell you, I'm not crazy about the turn out. It is the colors that I don't like. But I brought limited stuff in my art-to-go bag and so that was the challenge. It is the grungy that I'm not liking.

I think I will try it again. Friday afternoon art-at-the-desk. A good thing if you can get by with it.

See ya tomorrow,

I give up.

I have tried and tried to load pictures to Etsy yesterday and today.

It is just not happening today.
So, I offer for sale here this beautiful

Eleven sisters meet for the wedding of her dreams.

They all carry wildflowers and wear the string of pearl she gave them.

Of course, the twins insisted on standing next to her.

"Follow the Leader"
Another Sisters Reunion.

On this day they talked about one of their favorite games and decided to go to the garden and play.
She always got to be the leader but that was OK, they loved her for that.
They dreamed so many dreams while in the gardens. I guess that is why their dreams are always right there just like a beautiful butterfly flitting about and landing on their sleeve.
One more thing. About the little queen, well one of her fondest memories from home was always dreaming about growing up to be a queen or a princess at the very least. She was always pretending.

I took a couple of shots in between the beginning and end.
It's no secret, you must see when I do that.
8 X 6 canvas




The finished is a scan. And I like to show it at the beginning of the post and at the end. I don't know...I just do. Have you noticed that when you post your art, you can scrutinize it and see where you want to add a stroke here or there? I see several places and I forgot to finish the little bird. It's not a "little" bird, is it? It is way out of scale but I don't care. I like it anyway. So, I guess it is not finished after all. But for today.....enough.

Today

Today, our electricity has been off all morning.

Today, I'm working on a small sisters painting and showing a little progress to the right.

Today, I received the latest Cloth Paper Scissors. OK, simply put, I will never get use to seeing my art published. It is so very thrilling!

Another tea party piece is going to be featured as an Cloth Paper Scissors online extra. And it is the tea party that has not been shown here at All Norah'S Art. They don't have it up yet, I will keep you posted on that.

Now, back to today's painting.
