Art Every Day Twenty- Nine • The Traveling Studio

 Day Twenty-Eight of Making Art Every Day

Today was a travel day of sorts. Spent time at both my son's school working on part of a fundraising project. Holiday wreathes are going to be made and sold with lovely art stamped bows on them. This is where I come in, I spent the day stamping ribbons for the bows, hence the traveling studio! Box and bag in tow I brought my supplies and set up shop. Here is some of the creative work done today.

 AEDM brings together a group of creative people committing themselves to more creativity for the month of November. Stop by Leah's website, Creative Every Day and check out fellow artist and their creations for Art Every Day Month.

Thank you for stopping by.

Art every Day Twenty-Eight • Red....We meet Again

Day Twenty-Eight of Making Art Every Day

Here I am back to red. Trying to think outside the box again in regards to using more of it. 

I just recently mentioned that red is not in my usual color palette. I am an orange loving person, it is my red, as you can read here and here. 

So today I went around the house looking for red things to photograph and inspire me. I found a few things to share and I put together a mini mood board for you. Have you tried a new color you hardly ever incorporate into your work? Just curious.

Red is the color of 

confidence 

courage

action 

energy

and 

passion
It is the highest arc of the rainbow

 At twilight it is the first color you lose sight of

Red demands attention and represents beauty in many languages and cultures.

It shows determination to go after dreams.

It is also an emotionally intense color often associated with love. 
In China it is associated with good luck and fortune. 
In many cultures red amulets were worn to prolong life.

Art Every Day Twenty-Six • Sweet, Simple Magnolias

Day Twenty-Six of Making Art Every Day.

Sweet and Simple Sketches of Magnolias

Last week of Art Every Day Month! Keeping it simple with sketches as we count down to the last day of this challenge. As I mentioned the other day it is quite busy behind the scenes as Christmas and Holiday Sales kick into gear. Here are some quick sketches I made today. 

It always feels great to get ink to paper even in the swirl shows and sales.
