I like to paint BIG paintings and just need to get back to that for a break from smaller works. So I snipped off a big piece from the bold of canvas I have and got busy.   That was SO fun, that I had to make more.   I think there are more of these to come forth. Then I am wondering if maybe I can do this kind of toothy person, but make them a cat. We will see.

Sometimes I just have to wait and wait until the next thing comes to mind to paint. So I painted the town. And since there is nobody here to tell me what to do, I just do what I do!    These and others are heading to The Gallery at 10 Oaks in McMinnville, Oregon soon.  I have an old TV antenna on my old house and when I look around, I do not see many TV antennas on houses anymore. So I honor the old technology on rooftops in these paintings.
I have been helping someone downsize and I brought home a BUNCH of globes from their place. I had my kid go into the attic of their house and bag up the globes.  What am I to do with so many globes? I will do a LOT! Here is what I did with the first one:     Here is the second one. I like cats. I like painting. Well, there ya go! These are all 4"x4" squares with a one inch deep side.  STICKERS!
I had some stickers printed and I found them so fun that I am now awaiting 200 more with different images. Stay tuned for those. Priced at $4 each. These are 3" square fishy stickers. I am working on figuring out how to post videos to Tiktok. Eventually, I will get the hang of it. For now you can see what I have created. www.tiktok.com/@helvismith I am planning on expanding my working studio space to accommodate making MORE art! Not sure when this will happen as I will need to lay down some linoleum over the the floor and move a lot of stuff from here to there and back again. I am still working on a theme from a painting I did years ago and ran across in my VAST photo library. I looked at the older painting and thought that it would be fun to revisit that style with a few more years of painting under my belt. Most of these went to Valley Art, a local gallery in Forest Grove, Oregon. There is a opening on Saturday, January 8th at 2pm and these will be available at that time. I have used a specific app on my iPad for years to create art and it has been big time revamped and I am trying to learn the new tools. These are in progress. Fun to try out new ideas!
I was looking through some older digital paintings that I did on the iPad and decided that I really liked some of them and decided to try to paint them on canvas.   Rather fun and challenging too! Then I just kept going. This is a painting still in progress. Used one of my greeting cards for inspiration and off I went.  Waiting to see what is next!
I am still having a blast cutting up old paintings of mine and creating new smaller works that have stories to go with them.  The bird raced the dinosaur towards extinction. Cats rule! Dogs Drool! |
