Creative Thursday

6 x 8 in. Of all of my paintings, none have the title of Creative Thursday, this is the first. If I were to translate through paint what Creative Thursday feels like to me, this is it. (And for something different, in honor of a special painter out there, I painted this with my left hand instead of my right). (It's still not too late, if you want to create. I'm on California time and there are still a good 6 hours left of this Thursday.) Thanks again to everyone who shared their work with me today and if you come up with something in the final hours of this Creative Thursday, let me know! (click here to buy original) *Edit* Friday, September 29 ~ I have listed it as a print over at the Etsy Shop. And, I'll be back later with more Creative Thursday creations to share!

Tomorrow is CREATIVE THURSDAY for YOU!

"Sundance" 9 x 12, acrylic on canvas I hope you'll join me for a Creative Thursday tomorrow! If you've been looking for an excuse to be creative, tomorrow's the day. This painting, "Sundance" was my very first piece that I created when I made my "return" to a life as an artist. It is very special to me, a symbol of where I was headed and where I've now landed. All I did is lay a tarp out on my bed, (yes, my bed, not some fancy studio, not even a desk) and start painting one day...and it hasn't stopped since. So, don't think about it too much ~ just make something fun, anything, anything that makes you happy and if you feel like sharing it with me, I'd love to see it!

calendar printing anyone?!

I've decided to make my first calendar for the upcoming 2008 year! Exciting! It makes sense really with the daily painting theme I've got going on here. I've done some preliminary research on a short run calendar print job, but I want to make sure that I'm not overlooking a good source. So if you have any calendar printer suggestions, please let me know. (I forget that I can ask you my readers for suggestions like this :) ) I'm not yet sure if I will be designing the entire calendar or just inserting the images into an already prepared calendar format, but my favorite are the spiral bound European style calendars and those seem to be hard to find even on the internet. Since this is my first time selling a calendar, I also have no idea how many of you will want to by one so I need to work with a printing company that can print as little as 25 up to 100. thanks in advance if you have any suggestions for me!
