Last Post of 2021! What's on my Desk?

 This is my last post of the year, and I got a new portable, adjustable height, desk from our niece's family, that just fits in front of my recliner, so I won't have to juggle everything in my lap while trying to work on projects! Hubby assembled it for me yesterday, and I'm already using it! I can also eat on it if I want to. :)

The first four photos are works in progress from the Time Traveler class with Ce Duff. I have shared some progress pictures of some of them before, but this is where they are now. All are on mixed media paper in my sketchbook, acrylics and watercolor. Y'all know I can't work on one thing at a time, which is why I get very few things finished! 😁

I have sketched in a table with a box and a vase of flowers behind her with a white pastel pencil.

Both watercolor-

The next 3 are also works in progress, just started, from some of the free classes in Ivy Newport's Twelve Days of Creativity, leading up to Christmas. These are the ones I was most interested in, but they are all great classes. I don't know ho long they will be up, so I watched the videos and did the basic beginning with notes.

Inspired by the Happy Town class with Yvonne Morrell. Background layers and Stablio pencil sketched buildings with a dog. I kind of used her building idea, but the dog is the little Pekingese we used to have, and whoops! most of her got cut off! I will post progress pictures with the whole dog...

From a class with Jeanne-Marie Webb, which should be on a round canvas, but is in my sketchbook, of a portrait with nature, leaves and flowers.

Just the beginning layer, which I think I'm going to change color on, for an abstract landscape using cold wax and a palette knife. I haven't found the landscape I want to use yet, but I will.

Anyway, these are some of the new things on my new desk to start out the new year with, along with my stack of old works in progress. Hopefully, I will get some of them finished soon!

I was hoping to get at least a couple of these finished so I could include them in my blog book for 2021, but this is as close as I got. I will post them as they are finished, whenever that is!

Stay safe, healthy, well, and creative!

Hope you all have a blessed, creative, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
