For the last three years I have published calendars of my creative endeavors for the "special" people in my life. This year's calendar is kind of a hodge podge of past art, as was the first one. Calendars two and three contained work I finished that year. For much of this year, my creativity has been blocked and what I have done is still in progress, so I went back and picked out some of my favorite quirky doodle sketch/paintings and a couple of altered album covers, and put captions under them. Things that I thought would make the receivers smile a little.
I didn't re-photograph the art, and the original photos aren't all that great. In fact, a couple of them printed too dark, but I'm hoping the recipients will still enjoy the final result. I think the florals/words on the design I picked out matched my artwork pretty good. At least, I like it! 😀
Most of the art was painted with inktense or watercolor pencils and water on mixed media paper. A couple were painted with watercolors and a brush pen on watercolor paper, and three of them (altered album covers) are mixed media collage on cardboard record album sleeves.
Hoping this year's calendar is enjoyed, hoping I'm still around, that my muse comes back, and that I have some new art to print into a new calendar next December. Who knows, the way the Coronavirus is raging? Praying that it goes away soon!
Stay safe and well!
