I am free from language constrictions

by Amanda, posted in Artist, canada, Japan, photos, Uncategorized

which is to say, I am no longer an English Teacher but instead, a tourist once more.

Since, I’m on vacation I haven’t had much time to work on my art. We have however, been taking loads and loads of pictures. So far we’ve been to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and now we’re presently in Okinawa. You can see some of our vacation pictures and write ups of our travels by visiting my husband’s blog: “He’s just so stalkable.”

Anyway keep checking back, I promise I’ll be adding more artwork once we’re settled again. Til then, I plan on doing a whole lot of R&R 🙂

Cheers,

The Colour of Me

Here’s another piece I finished last night but was too darn tired to bother with posting it.

It’s another eye piece using the same photograph as the “My world” piece.

It’s pretty wild and colourful but I dig it and maybe you will too.

Without further delay, here it is. Continue reading “The Colour of Me” →

New Year, new toys

by Amanda, posted in photos, Wacom/Tablet

Miss me???

My family has safely returned to Canada after spending 3 weeks visiting us in Japan.

Christmas has come and gone and a new year has begun.

In less than 13 hours my vacation will come to an end. (sigh)

Oh well, it was a good time while it lasted plus I got to be a tourist again for a bit.

So how am I spending my last hours of vacation you ask? Well I’m playing with my new toy.

My hubby (who should be sainted) bought me a Bamboo. No not the plant, the Wacom!

Highly entertaining stuff. So now, I can use my brand new tablet to draw with.

(That is once I get the hang of it and the programs that come with it (1/2 of course are in Japanese :P)

So instead of drawing tonight, I thought I’d try my luck with a bit of photo editing in Corel Painter X.

It’s for my hubby’s blog. (Oh and Greg I hope this is entertaining enough for ya 🙂 )

The colour of music

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, acrylic, Art, commission, female artist, For Sale, Musical Instruments, photos, Uncategorized

This is a piece I did back in 2005.

It’s an old guitar I got as a Christmas present one year when I was feeling especially ambitious.

I thought it would be a good idea to discover my hidden musical talents.

However, once I realized I couldn’t just pick it up and play I decided musical talents were overrated.
