Warm-up Success

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , on December 6, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Warm up 3 Warm up 4When I am on a roll painting I get up early and grab a cup of coffee and then generally take a sheet of watercolor paper divided into 6 or 8 pieces and do several quick warm-up paintings.  I try not to spend but about 15 minutes working on these just to help me loosen up and get some color ideas.  Sometimes I like what turns out.  Yesterday while cleaning up pile of old warm-ups I came across several I like.  I put them in a mat and liked them even more.  So here is Warm-up in Orange and Warm-up in Green, acrylic on watercolor paper, available for $25 each.

Now everyone is ready for freezing weather at the dog park.

Jeds Sweater

Worked on a male version of the sweater I made for Mamie.  Here is Jed modeling his new sweater.  I don’t usually dress my dogs when we go out but since we have been going to the dog park every morning early while it’s still cold out I decided they might need something to keep them warm.

I found some coats that belonged to Jed, Lincoln and Mamie’s predecessors and they have been sporting those on the early morning walks.

Crocheting Instead

No painting to post today.  Instead I crocheted this little sweater for Mamie.  She has several hand-me-down jackets from Rosie, the other little Cairn Terrier that I had, but I thought a sweater would be cute for her.

SAMSUNGAnd as an added bonus, I made me a hat to match.  Won’t we be cute together at the dog park?!

I haven’t written out the pattern yet.  I was just winging it but if anyone is interested let me know and I’ll try to put it on paper.
