The Mornings and NIghts of Unconscious Lullabies

Pink, Fluffy, Cute-A dream (for Creative Tuesdays)

Over at Creative Tuesdays, the theme this week is Cute.  I have to admit, I had no idea how I could draw something cute.  I know what cute is, well at least what I feel cute is, but how could I represent that quality in art?  This was my major hurdle for this project.  I had to have cats in there, as they are just so, so cute.  I wanted to put puppies in there as well, but even using a stencil they came out more like fraggles then dogs, so I decided to go all pink, fuzzy and flowery, of course with some lovestruck cats, a rainbow, some faeries and a couple of birds.

I really look forward to checking out what the others create for this week, after all, who doesn't dig cute, right?  Head on over to Creative Tuesday, check out all the art linked up.  And if you're up to the challenge, read through the guidelines, and if you still have time, share your creation with the rest of us.  And if you happen to be out of time for this weeks challenge, simply come back later in the week and see what the next one will be.  But warning, once you participate, you'll get hooked, that is if you enjoy art and having fun :)

Now I lay me down

The theme for this weeks Creative Tuesday is Healthy.  Well, I had trouble thinking of something healthy.  No, that's not entirely true, I thought of tons of things that are healthy, however, I couldn't think of anything healthy that I could actually draw or paint.

I had this neat idea of a woman making her way into a lake of milk, where at closer look the sandy shore was really a mix of Kashi and Grape Nuts, a few palm trees hanging bananas, oranges and of course some fish , multi colored, perhaps trout, swimming underneath the milky sea, just to add some Omega-3 to the healthy buffet.  But, nope.  Couldn't get it looking the way I wanted to.

So, seeing most doctors feel that sleep is both healthy and necessary to the human body, and seeing I couldn't figure out how to properly convey sleep, without the whole little boy sleeping in bed with a glow-in-the-dark crescent moon pasted to his wall, perhaps with his mother peeking in through the cracked door, letting just a trickling of the hallway light creep in.  But yeah, there was no way I'd pull that one off, the bed ok, the crescent moon, yep, the shadowy space, door and trickling of light, yep, the little boy, maybe, seeing he'd be under covers, but the mom, nope.

Well, this long intro aside, I thought of dreams, which I totally knew I could pull off.  And that's where this piece came from.  Phew….

I've been visiting a lot of Art blogs and sites influenced greatly by Artwork.  All of this inspired me to buy ArtRage3.  This was the first painting I composed.  I'm very raw, but find it not only fun, but a great outlet for frustration and negative energy, as well as a cathartic realm to wander from time to time.  I am working on advancing my skill, so each consequent piece, I'm hoping, will get better and better.  Until then, I hope any who visit will let me know what they think, and if you have any tips or tricks, or places I should probably reference, by all means please leave a comment.  Thanks ahead of time, and hope you all enjoy.
