Happy Groundhog day. For those of you that don't know what the meaning of this day is. It is the mid point of winter. YEAH!!!! And to celebrate we bring the groundhog (an oversized gopher) out of his den (cage) to see if he sees his shadow. If he does it means 6 more weeks of winter and if he doesn't than spring is supose to come early. For this part of the country it is gaurenteed we will have 6 more weeks of winter and it has been a very long winter so far. lol Finally we are getting some beautiful weather but as the snow disappears the brown lawn emerges. I am in desperate need of COLOR. :D So I drew out a couple of Macaw parrot profiles and am working them up 2 different ways. This is the first one and he was done with a combination of tangle patterns and brightly colored watercolors. So much fun. Hope you enjoy. <!-- AddThis Button END --><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EclecticStudio/~4/C8jHWi5G3Nw" height="1" width="1"/>Tammy Morrison-Koenighttps://plus.google.com/111256657094038926392noreply@blogger.com0http://tampster1.blogspot.com/2013/02/parrot-tangle.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2509617648660940542.post-36210374680843120752013-01-31T07:45:00.000-07:002013-01-31T07:45:25.706-07:002013-01-31T07:45:25.706-07:00The old lady in the windowI had a very productive day yesterday. The kiddo`s have been down sick so it has been very quiet the last few days. I finished up a few paintings that have been sitting in my `they are starting to fall apart, so i will put it away for a while box``. This one of the old lady in the window is one of those projects that really gets me out of my comfort zone of painting tight. It has elements that I love, the contrast of lights against darks and the imagery of what the woman is thinking about. It is a small piece measuring only 3.25 * 4 inch so my intention was not for detail but for impression. Hope you enjoy. <br />

I really like the graphic nature of these prints but I am more of a painterly type person. So combining the two this is my take on monotyping. This is a 5 * 7 inch using golden open acrylics and ink on illustration board. I would love to hear what you think. <br />

This is one of the pieces I completed for the Christmas commission I received and haven't got around to getting up here yet. This aceo (art card edition and originals) is of a country farm in the fall. It measures 2.5 * 3.5 inch and was created on 140lb CP arches using artist grade watercolors. Hope you enjoy. <br />

More for a travel kit than for any serious work but it made me realize how easy working with the right supplies can make your job, especially in watercolors. Inexpensive paper has no real absorbancy and your colors dont flow like they should so the style of painting has to reflect that. These few paintings were done in a direct painting style as this paper did not accept washes or glazes well. So here are a few of my attempts, hope you enjoy. <br />

And after the last 3 months of going crazy, what an undertaking that was. Now this is not one of thise fancy pinterest dream studios. Maybe one day. ;) But it is completely functional for being an 8 * 10 space and holding as much "crap" asI have gathered throughout the years. So I thought I would share a little of my hard work with you and I hope you enjoy this little tour. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally we get a reprieve in the weather. It has been so cold and snowy here for the past few months that we really haven't been able to enjoy all the special things winter has to offer. So today I shipped everyone out and while the kiddo's were building snow forts in the back yard I got my pens and sketchbook out and came up with this. Hope you enjoy. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is like the longest turkey hangover...ever. LOl So to start the year off I decided to give my kitchen and bath a quick update with new towels. By taking a teatowel and a pattern I found here <a href="http://www.momtastic.com/diy/172615-diy-hanging-dishtowel"><strong>http://www.momtastic.com/diy/172615-diy-hanging-dishtowel</strong></a><strong> </strong>I came up with this cute little stove towel. I did make a minor adjustment by adding a button hole instead of just the velcro closure - just testing to see which one will be added to my Christmas gift list for next year.. ;)
Hope you enjoy. :)<br />

Colors used: Indian Yellow, Napthol Red, Alizarin Crimson, Royal Blue, Burnt Sienna and Brillant Orange and permenant ink
First draw out your image and mask off your sun spot - dry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_HrGP_ozZs/UMfewPMR2dI/AAAAAAAADRU/szxeclKmUkU/s1600/tutorial%2Bline%2Bdrawing%2Bsailboat%2Bat%2Bsunset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t_HrGP_ozZs/UMfewPMR2dI/AAAAAAAADRU/szxeclKmUkU/s200/tutorial%2Bline%2Bdrawing%2Bsailboat%2Bat%2Bsunset.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
I chose to use ink as a base to this painting applying it both directly and using it as a wash to add some shadows. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u_dBSANI_iw/UMfa3vRBJkI/AAAAAAAADRI/6kW2rg7mab8/s1600/first%2Bwash%2Bwatercolor%2Bsunset.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="152" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u_dBSANI_iw/UMfa3vRBJkI/AAAAAAAADRI/6kW2rg7mab8/s200/first%2Bwash%2Bwatercolor%2Bsunset.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Next wet the entire sky area. Working around your sun spot start by adding a graduated wash of indian yellow from the bottom to about 3/4 the way up, then add in alizarin crimson, and at the top work in a band of royal blue letting it run down a little. DRY
The sky is not holding the weight I need it to so I wen over it again using the same colors and technique. This time adding a band of brilliant orange along the bottom. Looking better but still not quite there. So lets dry and move on to another area so that I can come back and judge the values.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-usm_pr0K2jQ/UMffUAKq2MI/AAAAAAAADRg/91Av3bA508g/s1600/second%2Bwash%2Bwatercolor%2Bsky.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-usm_pr0K2jQ/UMffUAKq2MI/AAAAAAAADRg/91Av3bA508g/s200/second%2Bwash%2Bwatercolor%2Bsky.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
The sails were added using a mix of BS, brilliant orange and indian yellow. DRY
I noticed that the sky still didn't have the imapct I was looking for so I had to go back and mask off the sails so that they weren't muddied if I brought the blue down so far. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gmyG7jsAcAE/UMfhIIrKBoI/AAAAAAAADRs/7Pw27B9lY2g/s1600/painting%2Bwater%2Band%2Bsail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gmyG7jsAcAE/UMfhIIrKBoI/AAAAAAAADRs/7Pw27B9lY2g/s200/painting%2Bwater%2Band%2Bsail.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UTGmprLYBPM/UMfhZAiU31I/AAAAAAAADR4/NHJ7VH017vg/s1600/painting%2Bclouds%2Bin%2Bwatercolor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="146" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UTGmprLYBPM/UMfhZAiU31I/AAAAAAAADR4/NHJ7VH017vg/s200/painting%2Bclouds%2Bin%2Bwatercolor.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Now all you have to do is go back and fine tune using the same colors you have on your pallet and a fine tip pen to strengthen some of the rigging.

Unfortunatly I can't post them till after Christmas. But in the mean time I thought I would post a new tangle. Unlike the last few done on fabric this one is done on paper and measures 8.5 * 10.5.

I already had the material and lace on hand so I didn't have to go out for anything, which was even better. Last year I bought 3 yards of this burlap for only 3.99 and the lace was a grocery bag full of assorted lengths and widths and colors for 2.00.. Trust me I was doing the Happy dance with that deal. There are still alot of these supplies left over for any other projects that tickle my fancy. <br />

This finished runner measures 13 * 64 inches. So i cut my fabric 1/2 inch larger than my finished size, folded over 1/4 inch, iron then fold over again 1/4 inch iron. When you come to the corners all I did was clip the corner at a diagonal, to reduce the bulk and iron down and sew down with a simple straight stich. Next pin your lace onto your fabric and sew down with a straight stich. <br />

There are alot of variations on the web when it comes to trimming your piece. I chose to do a complete wrap but you could just add it to the ends or just to the sides. It is really up to you. :)</div>

I want my kids to believe in Santa for as long as they can and now that they are in school it is going to get a little harder every year. So this year I made up these quick Special Delivery bags from the North Pole. I know they are not perfect but Santa's elves are really busy with the millions of bags they have to make every year. They came together so quick. I just worked up the image in my word processor printed it off on the burlap fabric and sewed it on to the pre fab dollar store gift bag. These are going to be perfect for my little monsters. Hope you enjoy them too.

I usually don't take orders this late in the season, but the same client does this to me every year and makes it worth my while .. lol So in order to get back in the swing of things I did this very loose 2hr portrait of a little african boy. This little man was done on an 8 * 10 canvas board and just 5 colors UMB, alizarin crimson, yellow ochre, and black and white. Hope you enjoy.

Every year we try and add some homemade decorations and after perusing Pinterest I saw this awesome image of Santa and just fell in love with it. Pottery Barn did theirs in silver glitter and Bower Power did theirs in red glitter. Hmmm. 2 young children and a bowl full of glitter is just asking for problems so I did his image in the traditional red and white. I love how he turned out and a wonderful addition to our Christmas decor. He is quite large measuring 2ft * 2ft on a 2inch gallery stretched canvas.
Hope you enjoy<br />

These are aprox. 15 inches each and were done with 2 different sizes of craft sticks, my handy glue gun and a little paint. Enjoy.

We have been busy getting ready for the Christmas season, decorating, sewing, baking. It just seems like it is never ending, just when you think you are ahead of the game another project pops up. Well this project is a colaberation project. My aunt (a major inspiration in my creative life) has asked me to design a couple of tangled quilt blocks to be used in one of her famous quilting projects. These are the first few, hope you enjoy. They measure 4.75 * 4.75 inch done on cotton fabric with micron pigmment pens.
