Introducing

Trish, Mixed Media 40” x 28” stretched canvas, framed. Trish has paper sail boats, a sand island complete with paper coconut tree. She has a fun message in a bottle earring; Cliche’, yes perhaps, but fun nonetheless. Trish is also accompanied by a poem, we are sorry but it won’t be posted here. 

Artist Paint In

I once again had the pleasure of meeting up with some local artist at Christ Church on League Line Road, April 13th. The group hostess Sandy and Brenda instructed everyone on various techniques, acrylic paint pouring, watercolor, and the joint compound as we did last month. A couple of girls worked on some existing art pieces. 

I chose to try acrylic pouring and worked on two, 8 x 10 inch stretched canvases and four small canvas boards. I finished one of the 8 x 10 canvas after I got home and it was completely dry, I outlined various shapes with black then painted parts black and other bits in gold. So happy I found a perfect frame for it in my stash. I've titled it Mind's Eye, it's almost like cloud watching, you can see whatever your imagination wants.  Please forgive the photo as it's a bit wonky.

I'm sure I will do this acrylic pouring again, it is a fun and exciting technique that can have some unexpected outcomes. I'm not sure what I will do with the four little canvas boards, so they will sit in my future project box until I'm ready for them. The other 8 x 10 inch canvas awaits a face, and as I type this I believe I know which one it will be.

Thank you for your interest, have a blessed day,

                                                                  .Jamie

First contest

We are proud to announce that Jamie entered her first judged show, March 7, 2015, at the First Baptist Church on Main in Conroe Texas. She entered two pieces:

Why Not, acrylic on 24 x 12 inch stretched canvas, it won a second place ribbon. It gained its title from all the encouragement she garnered from other artist, who kept saying, “why not enter it?” It is the first in her series titled Two-29 and Jamie’s first face to be directly painted onto canvas, as she usually collages them onto canvas. It is scheduled for the April Exhibit at the Madeley Building Art Gallery on Simonton St. in Conroe Texas. Due to sentimental reasons Jamie has chosen to retain this piece in her private collection.

From the Brokenness, a mixed media piece on 10 x 8 inch stretched canvas, received an honorable mention. It has a small stretched canvas (2”x4”) that contains a broken china doll face, tiny glass beads, acrylic paint and paper clay work adhered to it. That small canvas is affixed onto the larger one that also has paper clay work on it. It's title was inspired by the broken china doll. This piece also includes a poem of same title. It is scheduled for the May Exhibit at the Madeley Building on Simonton St. in Conroe Texas. The finished framed piece (14½“ x 15½“) is available for purchase, please contact Jamie by email with Purchase Inquiry in the subject line,  ArtistPoet.Girl@gmail.com
