DOODLES

Yep! More "doodles"! Small little crayon paintings. The largest is 5"x5". I am having fun with these. I already said that didn't I?

KITCHEN PAINTINGS

My kitchen. I've been having fun this morning, adding paintings to my cupboards in my kitchen. The painting over the sink is by my grand daughter Elizabeth. I've always hung paintings everywhere but the cupboards "were bare" so up they went. I keep adding and soon will be out of space!My kitchen is tiny, it's a little beach cottage,early on meant for vacationing.It's cozy!

HEATHER'S NEW GALLERY

My daughter, Heather Roddy has opened her new gallery in the Flower Hills Mall in Del Mar California.I just got back from a trip to see it and I am so proud of her! If you are in the area please check it out, it's wonderful! She will be carrying my pottery and sculptures. She offers classes in a really fun setting in a weekly format and I will be doing a workshop there possibly in September.  It is called HART Gallery  http://www.heatherroddyartgallery.com/

New Gallery

What a fun day! Todd Elliot came to my studio today. He is the owner of Elliot's Art and Frame in Carmel and the son of Vicki Greene. He went thru my paintings and picked out a bunch he liked and we all had a really fun visit! Oh it was nice to see those paintings on their way to a wonderful new home!

He has a real mix too. Animals and flowers, big works and small!! Exciting! Thankyou Todd and Vicki!!

If you are visiting Carmel please stop and see!!

Art Tag "BEE"

7 1/2"x2 3/4" art tag, paper card embellished with original paintings,papers,printed words, and stamping. Click the picture to see a close up!
I think as I go these are going to get more lavish! I thought I would draw the line at lace but I am looking fondly at some sweet pieces I have collected thru the years.Jewels would be nice too, have put a few on some of the cards. It is amazing what we have just sitting in boxes and in our cupboards. At some point I will put these in the gallery but right now I am having a very good time learning as I go along. Yes, I am still painting and doing clay and what ever, idle hands you know!!

Art Tags

Ok, this is a stretch, but I am having a really good time making these. Art Tags can be for gifts and book marks or just to hang on the wall! I love them, always picking them up at card shops and shows. I am working out new ideas for these.
I am meeting with some art friends next week and one of them is the "Queen" of Art Tags, Vicki Greene. We are going to really have fun with these but thought I would share!
These are 71/2"x23/4". I have pieces of my paintings on them and other things I have collected. Click the picture for a larger view!

I went back in and played with these. Added a few more pieces. Rather than taking the others out(which I don't know how to do) and redoing the whole thing I just added the new ones!

Workshop coming up!

Hello! I am going to be working the next few days on paintings for my workshop in Vancouver Washington. I will post them when they are done. The workshop isn't until October but the paintings have to be done and delivered waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy befor.

So I will be posting again in a few days. See you then!
