</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are the some of the horses I ride for two weeks every year at the H. F. Bar Ranch in Saddlestring, Wyoming. They spend their winters grazing freely in the Bighorn Mountains. I've been thrown from a horse like this out there and landed in a hospital with a concussion and a lot of bruises and abrasions, faced myself and got back on a horse the next day to ride again. I've also had to make some tough decisions about riding up steep mountainsides and along narrow cliffs. It's a place to enjoy scenery but also to test your limits and see what you have. Definitely not a place for sitting pretty.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm at the beach this week, and the sunshine and ocean air is really influencing my work. Here are a few of the things I've done through Chapter 4. (This is my second time doing each lab.) I'll be uploading everything to the Artists of the Roundtable site when I get home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In a drop of water we have my </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">entire beach experience - the sand, the grass, the</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">skies, and the seagulls. And across it, the movement</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">of the sun throughout the day. I really love what this </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">expresses for me. I'd like to do it again on</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">canvas.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Above is the ink and eyedropper technique, which I </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">quickly discovered that I loved. It felt very</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Asian to use ink. Quick strokes seemed to take</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">on a life of their own as soon as I put them down</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">onto the paper. I just watched them almost paint themselves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was fascinating and I really enjoyed it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

And here is a link to Bea's blog, <a href="http://www.dogintheholestudio.com/">Dog in the Hole Studio</a> which explains that we are supposed to add rectangular pieces marching across. And since i didn't have a clear third color, I added a red line. Now as I look at all this, I think the whole effect is like an abstract clothes line on a windy day with the papers falling off. This is a digital work, by the way, and I adjusted the layers to give the effect of those yellow rectangles being behind and in front of the line and the varying sizes. I really love this piece, but I had no end idea in mind as I was doing it.<div><br />

The first part of the class is about making digital collages. I have been playing with images of angels my friend Lizzi took at a cemetery near her and shared with me.

Jennifer Valentine is the artist who collaborated with Kelly Rae Roberts on this project, and she suggested using tissue paper from dress patterns for the wings -- a perfect idea as my mom was an excellent seamstress. I spritzed them with gold glimmer mist and sprinkled with white glitter before drying <div style="clear: both; "></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="post-footer" style="margin-top: 0.75em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(169, 80, 27); text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.1em; font: normal normal normal 69%/normal 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4em; "></div></span>terihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28655636027129148.post-65904791831109714402009-04-28T18:09:00.000-07:002009-04-28T18:28:43.782-07:00Soul Journaling Advanced TechniquesI took an art class with <a href="http://www.souljournaling.com/">Sarah Whitmire</a> called Soul Journaling Advanced Techniques. Unfortunately, I was so busy with work during the time when the class was held that I wasn't able to do the activities during the time when the others in the class were during them. Still, I wanted to take part, and Sarah said she'd help me along whenever I got to it, so a few weeks after everyone else, I did mine. Here are the pictures of my art journal pictures -- I love the way it turned out. Over the next week or two I would like to add the tags that finish up the project, but for now I'm just very, very happy to have gotten this much done! <div><br /></div><div> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYWvw0PibC3YPry4nt0GB_e6vSNKZpxeAvAWDXDSvufkf8LMmddo5U_Yk-JbmbIrx2n0twp5oWZSANRlRVamRpSTGdV575n-ExV4R0mTeLeb8oTrftF3uDtL7WuVg4buDyVX5KjuJMOw/s1600-h/100_4272.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOYWvw0PibC3YPry4nt0GB_e6vSNKZpxeAvAWDXDSvufkf8LMmddo5U_Yk-JbmbIrx2n0twp5oWZSANRlRVamRpSTGdV575n-ExV4R0mTeLeb8oTrftF3uDtL7WuVg4buDyVX5KjuJMOw/s400/100_4272.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329917242411790386" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAo6UBT5YY1-nsvSLVK21iD6uRuou42tYKqM-fDU9Ki85qKws7T_Dl5K6wjncbKMTrU5BiRjt-hmj94QLM4nyye_vPLghyWwJCLHRFZVCXpZxNBYg4OyCORTemFt1TAomMzJxE944L0tQ/s1600-h/100_4281.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAo6UBT5YY1-nsvSLVK21iD6uRuou42tYKqM-fDU9Ki85qKws7T_Dl5K6wjncbKMTrU5BiRjt-hmj94QLM4nyye_vPLghyWwJCLHRFZVCXpZxNBYg4OyCORTemFt1TAomMzJxE944L0tQ/s320/100_4281.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329918304236645746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8OVxCfQ_dQN7Wvyf-y2Ho3EQ8KZgucyCUWNsuz_AQoizV7xMsJhOAcpzl0exLf7EllgT-rR6v1WzCdsOz5dsiC7iJNtD8V5It2xymcNG6m_WzSBObRimzfoy3eKF9qITn6_MHpUZedqM/s1600-h/100_4280.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8OVxCfQ_dQN7Wvyf-y2Ho3EQ8KZgucyCUWNsuz_AQoizV7xMsJhOAcpzl0exLf7EllgT-rR6v1WzCdsOz5dsiC7iJNtD8V5It2xymcNG6m_WzSBObRimzfoy3eKF9qITn6_MHpUZedqM/s320/100_4280.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329918294198364626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKoiXjuI5EEtzcERNX0OZNstrmvpplOzTy1hYhe3531rEY_E_WvajDYKEfH5vBvbznhscbfVRqEBVZIArOU4PLc2IN6Sd-ghcm06XLRLdN55URO2eWfJo81bUsa5JpnSp5yz-sAst6OEs/s1600-h/100_4278.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKoiXjuI5EEtzcERNX0OZNstrmvpplOzTy1hYhe3531rEY_E_WvajDYKEfH5vBvbznhscbfVRqEBVZIArOU4PLc2IN6Sd-ghcm06XLRLdN55URO2eWfJo81bUsa5JpnSp5yz-sAst6OEs/s320/100_4278.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329918289981966146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnQ4Ua4lDDUGDq2vLaTcPX6PxC0Z9gDj6vz5UGeSiAKcaAELlXlh5tRF8jUYxXwjk0bTC1SXNYMvYFgfthtSjptXuN0WygkoMjiIurfg8-wsvzWCO0Mw3w0wRclDLTev71Jk4EYwa9wSc/s1600-h/100_4277.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnQ4Ua4lDDUGDq2vLaTcPX6PxC0Z9gDj6vz5UGeSiAKcaAELlXlh5tRF8jUYxXwjk0bTC1SXNYMvYFgfthtSjptXuN0WygkoMjiIurfg8-wsvzWCO0Mw3w0wRclDLTev71Jk4EYwa9wSc/s320/100_4277.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329918291173290642" /></a>terihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28655636027129148.post-55572284539048239972009-04-27T20:07:00.000-07:002009-04-27T20:10:11.282-07:00Chapter 3 in Taking Flight - Hope<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKcvRcfU0flB8ggd1zVBCvBQ1M0FMbfcFE8MgFp9ZWOsMOpOCbXbVmPMMfWHCYux1tbdYfCIudShBNDPSHoOLvdW_IZDG4Us8ZSFQmUnocWgE2WyrUhT5SEUBTI189yukUNNMfdTSao68/s1600-h/Hope.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKcvRcfU0flB8ggd1zVBCvBQ1M0FMbfcFE8MgFp9ZWOsMOpOCbXbVmPMMfWHCYux1tbdYfCIudShBNDPSHoOLvdW_IZDG4Us8ZSFQmUnocWgE2WyrUhT5SEUBTI189yukUNNMfdTSao68/s400/Hope.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329573692467093650" /></a>This piece was inspired by some postcards I found online that were from a family's website and originated in Italy (used with the family's permission). Inspired by the Italian heritage, I decided to make a stylized version of my grandmother Flora Mezzo on her wedding day.

It's a Journal Book made from four old book covers, with the letters A-R-T made from fabric and acrylic paints. The journal pages are filled with inspiration sayings, some taken from "Taking Flight" and some from my file of favorite sayings. Since Roan is always with me when I'm painting, he had to get into the picture of the book, too.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pqG9Rrco2QBVSW0ltG0A2Z4zZy_FlDCZuKbicMkmYWKlbY21rxVoQ3dfa5NBt-RsPUA0_5YMfJsxj8yq5daYK7XHkAaWrfKgPTjFsYYr8TfpAQf18Ph2jpvXszSizExs6OmoPbtjJTg/s1600-h/100_4059.JPG"><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8pqG9Rrco2QBVSW0ltG0A2Z4zZy_FlDCZuKbicMkmYWKlbY21rxVoQ3dfa5NBt-RsPUA0_5YMfJsxj8yq5daYK7XHkAaWrfKgPTjFsYYr8TfpAQf18Ph2jpvXszSizExs6OmoPbtjJTg/s400/100_4059.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313306859707603522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqjg2CH8buo4rj9f6AI2BM6c1FfHNFcPrP3hWiUHOZsYd7crdvYAfOHxqDiAM2IjGUk2xJ6HAIVRd_VkBDWnc2yj-ndpOMu-L7RDSCbsek0wWqCYoSnUjRsnh21U83l29Cdb8uzrAU-qQ/s1600-h/100_4064.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqjg2CH8buo4rj9f6AI2BM6c1FfHNFcPrP3hWiUHOZsYd7crdvYAfOHxqDiAM2IjGUk2xJ6HAIVRd_VkBDWnc2yj-ndpOMu-L7RDSCbsek0wWqCYoSnUjRsnh21U83l29Cdb8uzrAU-qQ/s400/100_4064.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313306608395281890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7FGyX4vXz9o7icK-HOoGpIRkxucGaFTFrsvTpfRVcYjDbIClKRMRoyo95FXvaMKkPBRhDapwnjCbWsbqBgNI6-9Vr0c-2lT9IDhn-mk72ZYkKwVI69SKVqGBR3Wyid3TEWVsyU5zHdlA/s1600-h/maya.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 254px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7FGyX4vXz9o7icK-HOoGpIRkxucGaFTFrsvTpfRVcYjDbIClKRMRoyo95FXvaMKkPBRhDapwnjCbWsbqBgNI6-9Vr0c-2lT9IDhn-mk72ZYkKwVI69SKVqGBR3Wyid3TEWVsyU5zHdlA/s400/maya.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313306331270828418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5QLYd_2jSfA3D0RJh3txOFqB2iXyxVmzKHOImdICbybb2HHg3bO9QI_JWmTrbdGTu0FgTvBK_B2PDbifSVeGeEAhyphenhyphendGCGNQT-QnUTpYxiRqmLRlkiC9z_eH3jQ8HmVUFl-My3L2eTJ0/s1600-h/100_4070.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5QLYd_2jSfA3D0RJh3txOFqB2iXyxVmzKHOImdICbybb2HHg3bO9QI_JWmTrbdGTu0FgTvBK_B2PDbifSVeGeEAhyphenhyphendGCGNQT-QnUTpYxiRqmLRlkiC9z_eH3jQ8HmVUFl-My3L2eTJ0/s400/100_4070.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313306038413660530" /></a>terihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.com0
