Creative Spaces (in progress)

Image
This week's space in my creative life include some happy packages for the nieces of one of my bestest friends, a happy watercolor painting and a happy chalk dancer.  Take a peek, say hi and visit other creative spaces here The happy packages included tile necklaces, matted art prints and bookmarks for 3 little girls: Painting this made me happy for no reason at all... watercolor paints on 12x14 canvas the work in progress stages: and lastly, a chalk and oil drawing on 14x17 paper that I am a bit unsatisfied with and need to continue working on... Thanks for visiting! :) 

Roger Casanova - The Artist

Image
For my birthday this year I treated myself to some art from Roger Casanova, whom I've been enamored with since the first time I stumbled into his shop.  When my package arrived, I was squealing in delight!!!   Not only are his art pieces created with passion depicting loving embraces but the package itself was mailed with such care, such l♥ve!   It took me a bit to get them framed but now that they are, I couldn't resist sharing!   Take a looksie! Encassed in heavy, sturdy cardboard were these little beauties, wrapped in tissue paper and tied with ribbon in lovely thick portfolios:  Close-up of his business card (links at the bottom of this post): I framed them in black frames showing a white gap (and enclosing his portfolio covers because they were mounted so beautifully with what looks like torn-edge, I hear its called "deckle edge" a bit hard to see in the photos)  This drawing is titled "Love All Ways" Buy this print HERE Not "love always"

I'm having camera issues... so I can't post what I REALLY want to post which is a review of artist Casanova... hopefully next week! Instead I'm posting these from my journal...   In continuing my fire theme as of late is another fire girl: There's a fire starting in my heart, Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark. Finally I can see you crystal clear Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare. See how I'll leave, with every piece of you Don't underestimate the things that I will do. There's a fire starting in my heart, Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark. The scars of your love, remind me of us. They keep me thinking that we almost had it all The scars of your love, they leave me breathless I can't help feeling We could have had it all Rolling in the deep You had my heart inside your hand And you played it To the beat Baby I have no story to be told B
