<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Friends!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I built my new web site more than a year ago, I've been maintaining two blogs: the one at my new site, and this one. Well folks, this takes me a lot of time and I'd much rather be creating art! So from here on, I will no longer be posting to this blog. You can find all of my future posts <a href="https://www.christinebrallier.com/news/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to thank you so much for keeping up with me here for the past nine years and I hope you will continue to follow me at my new home!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">All the best,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Christine</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">P.S. You can also find me elsewhere at these links. Hope to see you there!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Experimenting using Golden fluids with acrylic paints, ink pen and gel pens. Working on lights/darks (top one not so much) and being loose (bottom one was the loosest). What are you working on with your art?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My newest painting with acrylics. This one is on a 5x7" canvas so I painted the edges to match so it can be framed or not. I've always loved working small, but I am gradually increasing the size of my art as I get more comfortable with working larger. This one is in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/619770618/sweet-cat-dog-art-original-acrylics?ref=shop_home_active_2" target="_blank">Etsy Store</a> if you'd like to add it to your art collection. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I found some little blank canvas magnets and these kitties magically appeared on them! I painted random marks of color and then looked for who or what wanted to be painted within the shapes and these guys showed up. They are 2 1/2 inches and are painted with acrylics. I rather like them and can't wait to do more!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I took my inspiration from <a href="http://cbmosaics.blogspot.com/2018/06/exploring-paint-lab.html" target="_blank">Paint Lab 4</a> and used some foam board (rather than a squeegee) to spread paint in a few layers. I saw a teal window (below) and so added a few more. Once I did that, I saw almost the entire painting! Can you see it?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've had this book called Paint Lab by Deborah Forman for six months or so and finally decided to get it out and try some of the 52 different exercises to explore new (to me) methods and techniques. I have very limited experience with acrylics so I think this will be a good starting point for me. <span style="font-size: large;">I already can see from the very first Lab that I will be changing things up and expanding upon an exercise to reflect more of what I want to paint.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In Lab One, I was instructed to begin with a circle and some intersecting lines, and then fill in the spaces with a different field of color. Once that was dry, I was to layer on mark making with different colors. I did the first part (sorry, forgot to take a photo of it) but then altered the "mark making" part as I'm not interested in creating abstract art. I used the opportunity to just play with layering the paint, and this is what came out of the process.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoy drawing without a plan and letting the images appear as I go, so painting in this way really appeals to me. I'm looking forward to the next Lab and will continue to share what I am creating!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love this wooden off-green frame I found for my new little painting! You can see from the photo below that I started with green and I didn't veer too much from my initial sketch. By the way, I just discovered how wonderful watercolor pencils are for drawing over the dried paint. So easy to just wipe away with a damp towel until you get it just right!</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I finished this cat in time for the <a href="http://cbmosaics.blogspot.com/2018/05/gvaa-artist-studio-tour.html" target="_blank">artist studio tour</a> last weekend! It's 5" in diameter and was painted with acrylics on a sassafras wood slice. It's interesting to me to see how it began as an unidentified creature and with a very different color scheme.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I never have a plan for my art. I just start and see where it takes me. Painting is still relatively new to me and I am trying to get a feel for painting in layers, while at the same time, trying not to stress about what feels like wasting paint!</span></div>

I was grouped with three wonderful artists, Marie Arnold and <a href="http://www.nienowartworks.com/" target="_blank">Judy and Warner Nienow</a>, at Marie's home. Marie showed her fabulous abstracts in acrylics as well as her super adorable knitted cactus pin cushions!</span><br />

I wasn't planning on taking a class, just experimenting on my own; but when I saw that one of my favorite local artists, <a href="http://www.bradnack.com/" target="_blank">Brad Nack</a>, was going to be teaching his layering technique of painting animals, I was inspired to sign up.</span><br />

<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">I first discovered Brad's art years ago at his annual 100% Reindeer Art Show (Going 20 years now!) I was instantly drawn to his colorful, quirky reindeer with crazed expressions and began following along on his artistic journey. So I was excited when I discovered he would be teaching a two hour class at my local <a href="https://exploreecology.org/art-from-scrap/" target="_blank">Art From Scrap</a> (his artwork is currently on exhibit there so go see it while you can! 302 E. Cota, Santa Barbara, CA)</span><br />
<br />
Brad was a lot of fun and I'm newly inspired to continue my exploration with paint!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Elizabeth Stewart discusses the top 10 objects that younger generations do not want as “gifts” from the homes of their parents and grandparents and what to do with them. If you haven't heard her talks before, you must go! She is infinitely charming and funny with a wealth of information to share. I'm going, hope to see you there, too!

<span style="font-size: large;">No Thanks Mom: The Top Ten Objects Your Kids Do NOT Want (and what to do with them) is an honest and humorous exploration of the generational differences in the households and possessions of Millennials/Gen-Xers and their Boomer parents. The central conflict is that most of the Boomers’ grown kids are refusing the family heirlooms that have been saved for them.<br /><br /> Dr. Stewart, a certified appraiser (and SBHM docent!) discusses the top 10 objects that younger generations do not want as “gifts” from the homes of their parents and grandparents. She finds a c<span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span></span><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-size: large;">onsistent pattern of familial tensions over objects that older relatives have saved for the kids, wishing and hoping to pass on the beloved family treasures. If you’ve tried to pass on fine china, tableware, linens, fine porcelain figurines, silver-plated objects, ornate rugs, or heavy, dark furniture to a Millennial, you know it’s not so easy.<br /><br /> The problem, Dr. Stewart says, is the intergenerational difference in the concept of value and ownership. The answer, she explains, is to understand the new and changing concept of home, and to follow her specific remedies for each category of objects.<br /><br /> Stewart reviews each of the 10 object groups and gives the current owners ideas on how to pass them on. She provides an easy way to survey your belongings and offers advice on how to verify value and, where there is a market, how to put your items in play.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I painted this ornament of our two cats Raymi and Red and stuck it in my son's stocking this year. We got Raymi from a shelter nine years ago for my son's birthday. She was the queen around here until Red came along. He was my mother's cat who came to live with us after she passed away four years ago. He has tried to make friends with Raymi ever since but mostly she will have none of it and will swat at him whenever he comes near. There have been some moments of her allowing him to sleep a foot away and she also "sort of" plays with him but pretends like she's not. We're getting there slowly so there's hope!</span></div>
