Going Graphic

This is a kimono dress I sewed because I liked the graphic print. It's been a long time since I have posted on the Not Dead Yet Style blog, so here we go. Check out other fashion ideas at:  http://notdeadyetstyle.com/smart-woman-short-dress-visible-monday

Starting something...

I am taking part in an art journal challenge. 

You can find information about it here:  http://www.lisasonora.com/blog/

I am hoping this may help get me unstuck paintingwise.

I also found a good art goals post at:  http://donnazagotta.com/blog/?p=6486&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DonnaZagotta+%28Donna+Zagotta%27s+Blog%29

She wouldn't leave me alone...

I sat down to paint this image inspired by an old photograph. I am rather pleased with how it turned out. I am struggling to let go of outcomes and just paint what speaks to me. It may not be lucrative but it seems more important.  This is one of the images that haunts me until I do something about it. I like that there are images that do that but I don't know why they pester me.

Tony Valentine

 I received the news that a fellow painter, Tony Valentine, has passed away. He was a strong member of the Headwaters Art Society. He will be very much missed.

He loved to capture the beauty of the mountains in water color. Farewell, Tony.

the countdown begins....
