Doing the work.

2 x 2 inch watercolor sketch. 2015 Sheila Delgado

9 x 12 Mixed media. 2015 Sheila Delgado

Busy all week with decorations for a friends bridal shower. Still more to do. Sneaked in some painting. Just playing really and quick bits of time. But I did take a while with this larger image. I cropped it close. For some reason while painting, I kept circling her face with color. Closing in. Not sure what that was about.

My apologies, still having server issues. You can reload the page if the images are not visible, or click on the description to go to an attachment page.

Happy weekend to you!

It’s time to make some lemonade. I guess this is not really a lemon. A minor disappointment maybe. But I am not crushed.

POSTCARD GIVEAWAY

The postcard I created for this years Postcards from the Edge benefit did not sell. The gallery sent it back to me. And I am going to set it free. Again.

I have not done a giveaway before. I should probably be scientific about it. But I am thinking. K.I.S.S. So leave me a comment.

Tell me why you like Red.
Will you frame it?
Will you gift it to a friend?
Do you have a spot in your home that you know it will be perfect in?

It doesn’t have to be a long comment. I haven’t really decided, should I choose the best comment, or put names in a hat. You can give me you opinion on that too if you want.
(Probably names in a hat.)

Along with the postcard, I will include the pamphlet from the event and the collectors copy with a statement from me. The back of the postcard is stamped and numbered from the event as well.

Red, Benefit pamphlet, Collector’s Copy

You can read more about Red here, and here.

I will make the announcement on Friday.

Happy day to ya’!

Getting Creative with Storage

Keeping it simple

I have searched for a couple of months, for a way to store acrylic paint bottles. You can find images online of a rotating paint rack that Michael’s carried, but I could not find one for sale. I went to the company website and apparently they do not even make them anymore.

These are two small crates from Michael’s, and two, half-inch square dowels. Total investment, sixteen dollars. I hadn’t planned on shopping Michael’s that day, or I would have had a 50% OFF coupon with me.

Now I can find the color I need quickly!
