Spring is in the air!

Hello, March is flying by. Spring is on its way! My website is pretty well set up now, just need to add some more artwork.

I love using color pencils and watercolors, however, Acrylics are not without their perks! I recently did a tri-canvas painting of the Brooklyn Bridge and it was a challenge. (it is pictured in the previous blog here.) Awesome, but my favorite way of using acrylics is in my crafts. Especially ROCKS! Everyone can get involved, my grandchildren love painting rocks. A tip for you; to get true color, paint the rock white where your image will be painted, as in these photos, they come out bright and with the right color.

Another craft I do is painting vases that have gotten cloudy from use, so that left only one thing to do, paint them!  

Enjoy crafting everyone and enjoy Spring, get out there and paint some rocks and maybe leave them for others!!!!!

Getting Things Ready

Hello all! I’ve been busy getting the web site up and running. I think I am ready to start uploading some photos in my portfolio so we have something to look at in each of those catagories i’ve got listed!

This is all new to me, and fun.

I took a little break from art work while I did all this. I recently finished one of the largest paintings I ever done, “Brooklyn Bridge Memories”. I did it as a gift for my son and his better half. Its hanging proudly in their living room. Michael and Sarina (that’s them below) love it. !!

But I’m ready to add some art work to the website, it won’t be all at once, but gradually so as to make sure everything is uploaded correctly for the best quality I can get. www.magdamariesartwork.com is my web address. My sister site, as I like to call it, is www.smartboardattendance.com , which is my twin sisters website. She has her Masters in teaching, and she creates lessons for teachers to use! Wonderful!

I am also ready to start doing some artwork this weekend!! Every one should get their own creative juices flowing and see what you can come up with!

Don’t forget, February is Heart Month, take care of your heart and it will take care of ;you. Happy Valentines day!
