Painting with kids

Finishing touches

I added some of my finishing touches now – such as scribbling on the surface with oil pastels to add more texture, distress, and highlights. And the finishing coat of acrylic varnish. Also added more detail to the trees and … Continued

Waterfall painting

I started this painting two years ago, soon after we moved to our new home, so that the kids would have something uplifting to look at as they climbed the stairs to bed each night. Our family enjoys hiking, so … Continued

Birdsong in April

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Nature | 0

I’m starting to see signs of spring. Birds hopping everywhere, buds welling up on spindly branches, light-filled leaves. I wanted to write something on this art journal page, but all my words have already been penned by Wendell Berry! Every … Continued

Eve of first art exhibit

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Genealogy, Photography | 0

There have been times in my life where I thought being an artist involved being scatterbrained, disorganized, and probably addicted to some kind of substance. Since I’m generally pretty organized and straight-laced, I thought it might bar me from being … Continued

Duck Farm Barns – mixed media painting

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Genealogy | 0

I finally finished this painting that I started in 2007. I had started by painting the whole wooden panel yellow, and doing a photo transfer of the old barns that used to stand on our family farm. I also tried … Continued

Landscape of my memory

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Genealogy | 0

A few pictures of my painting in progress. If it weren’t for this fever and cold, I would probably finish this painting in record time for me. I often spend up to s*ix months working on one painting, hanging it … Continued

Painting process

by DelightFilledArt | Posted in: Art, Parenting | 0

Painting, painting, painting. I have matte medium all over my hands, black gesso under my finger nails, and a mess in my “studio” – the corner of the kitchen I call my own. I was so engrossed that I missed … Continued
