An Art Work A Day

This painting makes me smile every time I see it. Roosters are so meant to be the morning birds waking us all up with its kykelikyyy and this one seems to walk around muttering to itself like a tru B-person early in the morning, eyes semiopened.

Today I finally got my butt out of the coach and working on posting on ebay. I have had such a bad concience about not using ebay for many many months which is very stupid considering that I have paid to have the store there all the time. Hopefully I will get into better habits in 2008. For now I have a major clear out during this new year week and post a lot on ebay. You might find a coup. For this new year period my shipping is also free on ebay.

One thing that is strange is that ofor weeks I stress around and my only wish is to have a couple of day where I can paint and paint and paint, but when I get those days . . . . .
As usual my body goes into sleep mode when I finally get a day or two with no program so maybe resting and doing nothing is important too. But it is sure annoying. I did this one for fun last night.

I have been having a pause from my acrylics but hoped to get started on them again this holiday so I have been playing around a bit today. It being christmas I have played mostly with reds and green. Below are a few of my first steps of something that might end up becoming something. Only time will tell. But first I'll show you my lady in red.

Celebrating with my family today so I am posting a shrimp I did a couple of weeks ago.

Sorting and tidying and cleaning - that has been what I have been doing today. I'll be done in good time this year I think. Now off to make some cookie dough

Today I had promised to help a dear friend with a card for a lady at her job that they were making a present for. I had been thinking about what to do and ended up painting two florals in watercolours on watercolour papers sized A4. I pained in the center so that there would be space for them to put their signatures all around the painting.

Hollyhock, watercolours on watercolour paper A4

I painted this one late last night and I must admit I do not feel very pretty at the moment. The time is nearly midnight and I still have lots to do before I go to bed. I am a teacher and due to the cold I have beens truggling with for a couple of weeks I got behind on all the paperwork that has to be done and 100 % correctly too. Amazing how one can feel like one has climbed a mountain LOL when one has done desk and computerwork all day. Off for avery hot shower now so hoefully my shoulders will handle a couple of hours more. I hope you will enjoy my latest eagle. To me it is a young female one but you might see something quite different.

I hope you like my eagles. I am myself amazed by how different they all end up. Some look young, some old, some feminine some masculine, some happy some grumpy. This one I was very unsure what to call. I wondered about calling it " sulking" because I think "she" has such a teenage sulking expression. LOL

Not the social person today. Instead of partying with my collegues on shrimps and beer I am now ready for bed early instead. ........... this cold.

This eagle turned out very differently from the kind of shy looking one I posted yesterday. In fact this one has a very predatory look.

Below you will also se a photo of some figures that two of my students made in connection with an animation task. I love the details.

Tonight I did some Chrstmas baking :-) so now I have the cookies ready. The big challenge will be whether they will survive untill the 24th hehehehe.

I love how these feathers turned out. I do believe it will look stunning in a broad black mount and a simple black or silver frame or in an oriental scroll. The personality that I think about when looking at this painting is of a young immature bird having jumped up on the top of some rocks or stones but who is relaly not feeling that on top of the world. You might of course see something quite different.

Unfortunately my cold continues to drain my energy.

This weekend I have made another two of my early 2007 paintings ready to travel across the Atlantic. twice weekly visits to the postoffice has become a nice habit.

My cold has found a nice place to settle a couple of places in my lungs. At least that is how it feels. Got new astma meds but have not started using them yet. It has been awhile since I last used them and I did not want the heatbeat I use to get on them. Tomorrow I will have to start my day on them, that is for sure if I am to go to work which I probably will.

My son was home this weekend with my car but I ended up being nice again and the car left together with him tonight so I will have to walk to work tomorrow unless I get a lift with a collegue. I will see how I feel first.

Getting grading and commenting on end of term papers done has been pretty hard this weekend because the cold seemed to have worn me down more than I was prepared for. I am short of breath just by walking around doing normal stuff in the house.

I painted this one last week. Tonight I have spent all evening and night tidying up and washing the house. The cold right after the exhibition meant that it was long overdue. It feels great thought when it is done. :-) Here is another one of my slightly cartoonish rodents.
