Figures
I love when my last painting is my favorite. Well this favorite also happens to be my niece. This photo was taken 10 years ago at my baby shower for Nate. Always knew I had to paint that precious little face! Merry Christmas Jo! And she's on a map of D.C. ;)

Carry Them, 20" x 10"
5 Days of work equals 5 new pieces! 2 figures, 1 face and 2 landscapes. I was playing around with painting and drawing on photo transfers and with painting and drawing on a fabric print of a past painting...just for fun. I really like how the messed up photo transfer with paint became the piece called the Beach. The Three Sisters goes out as homage to my Mom and my 2 Aunts to honor the beautiful little girls that they were! Click on each image to learn more about what went into them.

The Dream Pages, 48" x 60"
Life is what happens when you are busy not blogging. My 30 minutes of art for 30 days equals 30 pieces has taken a few detours. And its all good!
I just finished The Dream Pages 2, 48" x 60", of my fabulous friend Kathleen Brodeur. I used a photo that I took of her when we went to Greece in 2001. She was having one of those intense life moments- on the trip and I believe at this exact moment of the photo. I painted her over an abstract piece of mine called The Dream Pages. This one took quite a few 30 minutes intervals!
I also went to the Orlando Make Faire with my maker husband and our maker kids. We made the coolest stuff! We did arm knitting with upcycled t-shirt pieces as yarn as directed by the awesome ladies at Indie Craft Exchange. We silk screened t-shirts , created paper flowers from upcycled magazine pages, and made LED nightlights and LED pins. We all had a blast.
Tonight, I'm making an awesome dinner of roast chicken, rosemary potatoes, and pecan and pear salad. What are you making today?

Here's my piece of the day: Wind, 6" x 6", Charcoal and acrylics on photo transfers on wood.
To coincide with our yearly Art Break Day celebration every September, we invite anyone and everyone to partake in our 30x30x30 challenge.
Art is Moving believes in the positive power or art. Just like eating right and exercising, making art a part of your daily life will make that life a better one. It helps us connect with ourselves and connect with others. We can use art to work through stress and anxiety. Take a breather, take an art break, and see what happens.
Step one: Fill in the form below to register. (We'll add your name to our participant list on our 30 for 30 equals 30 tumblr page HERE and include your website if you provide us with one).
Step two: Starting September 1st until September 30th, take 30 minutes each day to take a break and make art.
Step three: Each day during the month of September, take a photo of the art you create and upload it to our online gallery here. Don't forget to tag it! 30for30equals30
Step four: Share your awesome photo on other social media sites and tag it #30for30equals30 - WOOT!
Step five: Enjoy the positive impact art making will have on your life! Be happy knowing that you are joining the world community as we all celebrate the awesomeness of art.
