Again as promised here is one of the pieces I finished while I’ve been sick.
I was talking to another old High School friend a few weeks ago and she commented that she really liked my “Echoed Thought” piece. Continue reading “Thursday Daydreams”

In the Beginning
As promised, here is one of the abstract paintings I did while I was sick.
The inspiration for this piece comes from the first few verses of Genesis chapter one.
The painting is called: “The Beginning of the Beginning.” and is painted on 8″ x 10″ canvas board.
Below are the verses for your reference.
Genesis 1: 1-9 (New International Version)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
Check in tomorrow for the next piece.

2010 Gallery Exhibit
Just a quick note to say that I received confirmation today regarding my 2010 Gallery Exhibit.
I am now officially booked for the month of February at the Alberta Lottery Fund Gallery
located in Fort Saskatchewan in the Dow Centennial Center building.
So I now have 1 year to prepare for my first big Gallery Exhibit.
Crazy! 🙂
I’d post more but I’m not feeling that great…I think I have a lung infection.

New Year-New Art
**LOL I had this written and forgot to hit publish way to start things off**
Happy New Year 2009
Alright so I’ll admit it, I’ve been slacking.
Oh but it’s easy to do lol.
What have I been doing?
Well, I’ve been playing video games,
setting up aquariums,
cooking up a storm,
took up knitting (which takes forever lol)
and helping hubby with his new hobby(Warhammer) which is painting, just not artsy painting lol.
I haven’t entirely slacked off though, I have been working on a few different commissions (bookmarks and watercolor word art)
And I do have a piece to share.
It’s an 8″ x 10″ acrylic piece.
I was browsing through some old National Geographics which I like to do from time to time because they’re chalked full of resource material
and stumbled across a photo of a spiderweb, which for whatever reason caught my attention and inspired today’s piece.
Now normally I’m not a fan of spiders AT ALL but I thought the web was beautiful and set off to try my own version.
So here it is:
I’ll attempt to post here more regularly this year and for those of you who like to shop for art you can find my artwork for sale on Etsy at themilkeway.etsy.com
Cheers and here’s wishing you a colorful and creative 2009.
