Peek-A-Boo! - Frog Painting

“To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.”
– Bertrand Russell



Peek-A-Boo!
2.5″ x 3.5″ Watercolor

Nope.  I’m not out of frogs yet.  Soon…. I promise.  :)

I’m working like crazy, trying to get all my ducks in a row for Atlanta.  It’s almost here and I still have so much to do.  I am very excited and can’t wait to be at AmericasMart! I’ll share some new art as it gets closer.  :D

About Bertrand Russell

British philosopher Bertrand Russell was greatly responsible for the shift toward logical analysis among philosophers; he introduced rigorous scientific methodology to the field and was best known for his books Principia Mathematica and The Principles of Mathematics. He was born in 1872 to an aristocratic English family but raised by a strict paternal grandmother after his parents died young. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950. Albert Einstein collaborated with him on a manifesto calling for nuclear disarmament. He died in 1970.

Little Pink Shoes

“Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.”
– Bertrand Russell

Boy, isn’t that the truth!

Anyone have a feeling that I’m stuck on pink mode?  :D

I am going to ban myself from the internet today.  OMG!!  Yes, I am so busy at work and I can always find too many things that interest me.  I get some really good email.  One quick check of my email can lead to an hour of blog browsing or art cruising.  A glance at who’s writing on my facebook wall can distract me, too.  It’s so easy to pop over to see what my niece has been up to, or my big brother.  *sigh*

Just for one day, I am going to resist.  Well, I have pending sign quotes, so I will check email for sign related messages…. but that’s it!!  ha ha ha

I’m going to buckle down and find my reserve of self discipline.  :)

I’m missing you already!

4″ x 10″ Watercolor

The color that appears black is Da Vinci Perylene Green, straight. I won 6 tubes in the WetCanvas T-shirt design contest & this is one of the colors I got. (I got to pick 6 colors). I love it! It is also the background color on yesterday’s bird.
This fellow was another from the photos of Just Chaos. Her favorite place to hang out is zoos, I think. Whenever she travels, she always hits the zoo.
