Art Project 2012 - Dec 24 - Dec 31 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

This will be my last post for the 2012 Art Project - doing art every single day! 

While I continue to do art mostly every day, I will not continue to update this blog on the regular basis as I have the past two years. You can follow my various adventures at my Natures Walk Studio blog. http://hhcampbell.blogspot.com/ 

Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous and creative New Year!

This 6 x 6 x 2 piece is a work in progress... several steps to get to this stage, and there is more to come. 

Completed 8 x 8 Canvas - Mustard Field in Bloom now available at the Holiday Festival of the Arts.

Winding down my second year of doing art everyday...

Art Project 2012 - Dec 3 to 9

So many projects, so little time. This week I took a bit of time to "play" and created some beeswax collaged ATC's for a swap, and an "a-thon" at atcsforall.com... it was fun! Fun is good!

And using the same image source, I created two little canvases for the Holiday Festival of the Arts. The pictures came out a bit dark...

Art Project 2012 - Nov 26 to Dec 2

Working on this painting most of the week... but forgot to get pictures in stages.

And this is the potential layout... still need to add some torn papers and paints before adhering the buttons and bits.  

And this canvas was also started... a seascape with the beginning color added.

Art Project 2012 - Oct 29 - Nov 4

Working this week on a variety of canvases and ornaments for the Holiday Festival of Arts. 

These are ACEO sized (2.5 x 3.5) stretched canvas and take several layers and a few days to finish due to drying time. I did do the layers on several at a time to be a bit more efficient. :)

Earlier in the week I took took a "just for the fun of it" break and created some art to trade during a "Halloween Art-a-thon" over at atcsforall.com. I haven't had time to create art to trade lately, and it was a nice break. Made me feel good that all the bits of art I created during the a-thon were traded.
