Oh, my dear most best best BEST beloveds…I had some studio time this week. YAY!!! Handsprings! Backflips! All manner of celebratory jumping up and down. YAY!!! Again. Because a little bit o’paint (oils, in this case), some funky old canvases that needed recycling and a lot o’loud rockin’ out music took me from stressed out to blissed out in a matter of hours.
Best. Medicine. EV-AH!!!
And here they be, just for you. Works-in-progress every one of ’em but far enough along to show. They’re all little guys, 6×6, 8×8. The last one is the biggest at 12×12.

Definitely did not have my SERIOUS ARTIST PANTS on for this batch. No indeed. And I’m glad I didn’t. A girl needs some fun in her life, don’t cha know.
As always, I’d love to hear what you think in the comments below. And if you like what you see, go ahead and share with your friends. As much as I love you, I’d love you even MORE if you do. Heart emoticons here, a whole row of ’em.
Oh, and I’m taking part in an August blog challenge…which means I’ll be posting more frequently. Lots more. So be sure to stop back tomorrow and see what’s new here.

I’m so happy you had an opportunity to play. It makes such a difference in our arty worlds and arty lives to feed our souls. About your small works…I love ’em all. You rocked it, sistah!

I did rock it, Michelle, me and da Boss. So much fun. I plan on doing a number of smaller (affordable) pieces like these for the open studios tour coming up in October. Ohhhhh…why don’t you come up for that? We could jump up and down and squeal that we’re finally meeting each other in person 🙂
I love your celebration and it’s awesome that you went from stressed out to blissed out! So cool. I love your work, especially the houses. I think it’s the crooked house that appeals to me there . . . makes me think of being unique and different and authentic and just me.

We all have a bit of crooked house in us, don’t we Leanne 🙂
Hi, Susan! Been missing your blog.:)
These are great and so much fun! I love the layers I can see peeking out in “Love you this much” and that one of the arms extends off the canvas, implying that ‘this much’ could go on infinitely – at least that’s how it speaks to me. ;). And, you know I love your critters – particularly can’t wait to see the finished “Dog rabbit horse”! Look forward to hearing about your upcoming studio tour – I’ll be there in spirit!
Bonnie! Been missing you too!!! ‘Love you THIS Much’ does go off to infinity, just couldn’t get a canvas big enough 🙂
The critters just appeared. I have no idea where they came from, especially the rabbit. Might see him in more paintings coming up.

So glad you got a chance to play! And what a wonderful collection of delights you’re working on. It was fun seeing them in series, as it makes a bit of a story board, and I’ve imagined the most wonderful of adventure tales. Ending with love, which is always the best way, isn’t it?
Beginning AND ending with love. Yep, it’s the only way to go, eh Deborah?

Beautiful work! So glad you had time to play 🙂 My favourite is the bunny in the boat, the composition makes me smile, but of course they are all fabulous!

Thank you, Christie! My favorite changes everytime I look at them. Guess it’s like being a mom, love ’em all best at one time or another. 🙂
Oh Susan, I LOVE your fun, the colours the simplified forms, the narrative and the joy. PLEASE put your arty party pants on anytime and keep making more!
Arty Party Pants! Love that, Susie. Maybe that’s what I’ll call my fun stuff from now on 🙂
It sounds like you had a lot of fun that day. Beautiful paintings. I never would have guessed they were just little wee ones. Your artwork is as beautiful smaller as it is on the bigger canvasses. I don’t have a favourite… I absolutely LOVE them ALL!! 🙂

Making me blush, Suzanne 🙂
How fun! Love your paintings and the enthusiasm for your creative time 🙂
