Paper or Plastic

I created this project for a recycled sculpture entry.  It is called Paper or Plastic.  I had a lot of fun with this one.  The tree is actually a branch that I covered with news paper and the birds are made out of plastic bags (they were a real pain to stitch together).  I think it turned out well though.

A friend of mine is going to borrow this to use as a display in the window of her children's shop.

Beginnings

Morning Mist

Oil on Board- SOLD

Why are things so hard to start?  This blog has been up and coming for way too long.  It actually had a beginning elsewhere at another time, but was lost along the way.  So here I am again setting up and starting over.  I am not a writer, so forgive me for my mismatched sentences.  I am an artist.  I enjoy the whole creative process- well not the days when I sit and stare at a blank canvas pleading with my brain to come up with an idea, but I LOVE to be creative.  I am passionate about oil painting  and find myself drawn to contemporary & abstract art.  Creating makes me feel like a happy and whole person.
