Virgenes y un Angel

Hello to all my blogger followers and friends. I haven't been on here for a while...I need to set my priorities and realize that painting is my life and I need to work harder to accomplish that. That will be one of my New Years resolution work harder paint more! But first lets talk about Christmas. Christmas is a wonderful time for me. I love to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree. I love the smell of scented candles in my home. I love how the kids help out and make their own ornaments. The only thing I haven't done is any Christmas shopping! I am such a procrastinator but eventually I will get to it. :) I also wanted to share a few sweet images with you...I have had a hard time painting Angels but somehow they have been cooperating with me and I love the results and their sweet faces. Madonna's or Virgenes have always been my favorite to paint. Their look is always tender and warm. I definitely will paint them forever. Well hope you all have a wonderful weekend and see you next time. :)

Halloween Costumes 2009

Halloween is Over...Sigh



Well, what else can I do but share our awesome costumes for this year with you all! :)






I decided this year to be Frida and a Dia de Los Muertos Skull.



Here we are...my sister and I, a crazy pair of girls ready to go trick or treating with the kids! My sister is dressed as a ventriloquist dummy! I made her tiny top hat! :D

And last but not least THE KIDS! From Left to right is: My Brothers son dressed as a pirate, My son dressed as Jason from Friday the 13th, My other son dressed as Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm St., My sister's daughter dressed as a Butterfly Princess, and last is my daughter dressed as a cute vampire bat yet she says she prefers to be a Fruit Bat! Haha

Well hope that everyone has a wonderful day and I will blog again as soon as I finish a Frida painting I am working on. :)

Abrazos,

Friday The 13th Jason

Ahhhh!!! It's Almost Halloween!



Hello my Darlings...I'm back after quite some time and missed you all very much but I have some goodies to share with you all. Like always, I am extremely late doing all the Halloween costumes/crafts. To tell you that I barely finished my son's Jason Mask!

Well first of all, I am the kind of person that loves to buy something cheap and turn it into something better. Okay so, I bought this cheapo hockey mask at Walmart for $2. I then wanted to add more texture so I glued wrinkled tissue paper to the mask and then I painted it. I used acrylics, Antique polish, and colored pencils. and that's about it! Easy Easy!
Okay so now I must go and finish my sisters top hat for her ventriloquist dummy costume. My husband says "Well, she has the dummy part already!" HA HA So funny! Okay I will share the hat once I'm done! BYE!!! Oh...I am debating whether to be Frida or a Sugar Skull? Maybe I can be both! Nah...I don't know. Bye Everyone!

Abrazos,

A treasure of pictures...

Hello Everyone!





This weekend I went to an open market...I love flea markets and everything that means that I will be the owner of a certain piece of treasure. Like they say "One person's trash is another person's treasure." Well, I was browsing and found these wonderful photographs...aren't they wonderful?!

I don't know who they are, and neither did the seller but now they have a permanent loving home with me...:)
Has anyone ever found something that is now your own treasure?



Abrazos,


Meri

New and So Sweet! :)

Hello! How awesome it is to be blogging again! I am such a slow poke in posting new art...well, with me being the kids chauffeur/chef/etc... I barely have time to paint, but I finished something today! Yey! It is a mixed media heart with fairies and all sorts of good stuff on it...but the magical and sweetest thing I have ever made is:

This small window and inside the window....
A magical world...with a unicorn and princess.

The small painting is about 3x3 and my eyes were cross eyed by the time I was done! LOL Well, I hope everyone is being very creative and their imagination are going full blast so wonderful things can be created! Peace ! :)

Art Show Video

Hello my lovely friends! I just want to post a video of Art In The Park and say that it was a successful outcome for my sister and I! We sold quite a bit and are very appreciative of all the people that loved and purchased our work.

My goal: is to make someone feel happy or smile when they see my paintings. I love to see little girls faces light up when they see my fairies or mermaids...it is a wonderful feeling.
My husband once told me that I live in a fantasy world...uhh...duh...I do! That's why I paint fairies and cute stuff! LOL but overall he was very proud of me and kept asking me if I needed more art supplies...hehe I was like"uhh...I need a break!" but I know I will be painting again in a few hours! Well, here is the video of the art show and hope you all enjoy it! Peace Out! :)
