Gloria J Zucaro's "ATC's Theme Glasses"

I had a lot of fun with this month's theme.  I used catalogs, old story books and magazine ads for the basic background pictures.  Then I added gesso, paint, glitter, line drawings, and of course the glasses!   Here are a few of the 21 cards I made.  There were fewer than usual artists present, so I only traded 5.  That means more for you to trade with me if you would like! :>)

"Hello" to my fellow artists in The Artist's Playroom hosted by Jennifer Mclean. http://www.justaddwatersilly.com/     This week the assignment is anything with a garden theme.

I love the vibrancy of pastel so decided to use them instead of my oils today.  Be sure to visit Jenn's site to see all the other artists' artwork.  The weekly challenge ends on Saturday.

Questions?

This is my entry for the "You Know the Drill" challenge offered by Eileen McCoy on the DailyPaintworks.  I am also using this as my Paint Party Friday post this week.  Happy PPF!

I love my electric drill, which for me is really my electric screwdriver.  I mainly use it when framing my paintings or taking down curtain rods, etc.  I wasn't liking my drill all alone, but once I added the flower, I felt good about it.

This a challenge from the Daily Paintworks site.  We were to pick a vegetable from our refrigerator and paint it, then eat it!  I had already trimmed my bunch of celery, so needed some way to display it.  A friend gave me a carnation, so I decided to make this bouquet. 

"The Artist Hard At Work" All About Me Challenge

   

8"H x 10"W  Oil on Raymar Canvas Panel

I really had fun with this Challenge from the Daily Paintworks site.  We were to paint a self-portrait strictly for fun.  I had another artist friend take a picture of me with a fake flower behind my ear and a paintbrush in my teeth.  Too bad I didn't put in the roll of paper towels that is always securely stuck under my left armpit!
