Life is busy! so this little space highlights some of the creative things that I love to do.

Life is happening as with everyone else.... Busy, busy, busy.....and I just want to slow down....... </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Well, one big piece of news is that the shop I have a booth in decided to close!! It was a surprise to all 27 merchants....and right before Christmas. Eeek!! The bad news is that we have ALL have of our merchandise out by the 21'st of December. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">The good news is, I get to slow down!! yay!! and breath, and enjoy the Season!!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Now here is my slowdown version of slowing down....My <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReneeBrennanArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav">Etsy shop</a> is back! This time instead of all art, there will be some fun vintage/antique finds for sale. I decided to add the vintage because its a part of what I love to do. Pick/junk/find.....repeat. Our home has a nice mix of new and vintage, mostly items that are passed down from family, but also not cluttered with too many things...some collections definitely, just not overdone.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">Below are some of the things you will find in my Etsy shop. If you want, go check it out and give it a 💚. I appreciate everyone who has supported me over the years with purchasing, encouraging words or simply showing up!! It really means a lot to us small business people!! </span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhINm3R7Ta77g9jsShhN5qBSzUuLdPBCh3D5EsJvoHhjBjQJ9YPKQztTE4XGCrMHkowroUvi-8CSY-_F6MspzWJERI48uIqM3_dHJ3Cj_ScibBlHI-sgTVHEE9ogXibZgWgIrgSMrHUPxM/s2048/1EB31369-AE18-4146-84C7-309CED6C1414_1_201_a.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMLiSivKXOXoYLbbO3WsOuF-AVflX60BQrzq1ECFKqmTc96nGcTs_Un0ofD4xqwe5XUyHzpQaKEf_s__2RvgsnbwZWhmV6kAtMcKWF-rAhK6onW4vNQcmPzax_6b1XNIbsT6IvNM7s1d8/s2048/2217E45D-CA61-4CB5-8BF8-14EC021A5C8B_1_201_a.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMLiSivKXOXoYLbbO3WsOuF-AVflX60BQrzq1ECFKqmTc96nGcTs_Un0ofD4xqwe5XUyHzpQaKEf_s__2RvgsnbwZWhmV6kAtMcKWF-rAhK6onW4vNQcmPzax_6b1XNIbsT6IvNM7s1d8/w266-h320/2217E45D-CA61-4CB5-8BF8-14EC021A5C8B_1_201_a.heic" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/ReneeBrennanArt/tools/listings/1124356863" target="_blank">Barclay Skier dude</a>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What to do with all those vintage Bingo cards one has been hoarding? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmmm paint on them. Why not? They make a nice little painting surface!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purposly didn't completely prime them and was just playing around. After all playing and not worrying about end result is much more interesting right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I started using oils and then switched to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Golden Open Acrylics (more on these below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked the effect that the Bingo numbers and letters peaked through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>A few thoughts on using Golden Open Acrylics.</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a painter who loves oils, I'm so happy to finally try them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are SLOW DRYING, which is the definate benefit when being used to oils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They mix together nicely and I even used an Open Thinner which extended the drying time a bit more. Yay!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with the basic color kit from Dick Blick and added a few more colors that I like to use such as Panes Gray and some of the Umbers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO, in short I do recommend giving these a try! </div>

Cardinals appear when Angels are near. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure you've heard of that saying or something similar right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I alway's think of my mom when they are around. I see them everywhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All. The. Time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyone else? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted several of these for my booth at The Front Porch and sold out!! Some of the customers have that same thought about these "Angel Birds" Maybe that should be their new name. Anyway's it's a nice reminder of our loved ones :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The large one is my favorite partly because my dad made the frame. We used old tobacco sticks. He's clever like that. The others are on reclaimed wood siding or an old cupboard door. Upcycling. Good for the Planet ;)</div>

Almost 30 Painting's in 30 Day's Collage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok so here is the final "TA DA" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just a couple of thoughts... doing this for the 4th time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Carve out more time but if you can't don't stress!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. My motto was written on that coffee mug "make it happen" and most importantly "Do it for the Process"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Yes I faked a couple...my son's Heart painting and the little Teacart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
haha needed something to go into my little local shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Grateful for family, friends and new friends genuinely interested in following along! Thank you! and Thanks to our host Leslie Saeta who let us upload to her 30/30 page every day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. The hardest part was doing all the blogging, posting on FB, & Instagram...Now catching up putting on Etsy...whew! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. It really was fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Day 30 - Of the 30 Painting's in 30 Day's Challenge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whew!! I did it (minus a couple) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was a blast and I hope you enjoyed getting a daily dose of flowery art. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There wasn't a live model for these lovely peonies but instead I found a beautiful reference photo by <a href="https://pmp-art.com/cathy-casey/gallery/204215/peony-sheet">Cathy Casey</a> on a site called - Paint my Photo. She has many wonderful shots of all kinds of flowers. Also on the site are many other photographers with all kinds of photo's from automobiles to zoo animals. You can check it out here <a href="https://pmp-art.com/">PMP</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also wanted to thank artist Leslie Saeta for hosting this challenge again despite her super busy life. She is a blogging of her <a href="http://my100yearoldhome.com/">100 Year Old Home</a>...(it's so pretty!), this lady paints', has a family, social media guru and OH she also has a radio podcast called <a href="https://www.saetastudio.com/artists-helping-artists">Artist's Helping Artist's </a>which is nice to listen to while painting! I don't know how she does it but THANK YOU LESLIE!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for the collage of all the painting's tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also will be listing some on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ReneeBrennanArt?ref=profile_shopname">Etsy Shop!</a>!</div>

Day 25 - of this 30 Painting's in 30 Day's Challenge.. Almost there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I swiped these from my daughter's room. She had a little silk bouquet of these pretty peonies in a little blue pottery piece that she swiped from me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's ok...we like to share :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tried to keep this loose and a bit more impressionistic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I get obsessed when trying to paint too realistic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I agonize over shadows and every little detail...so much more relaxing when there is a self imposed deadline and painting quicker!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do it for the process right?</div>

How can you go into Trader Joe's and not buy flowers?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can't. It's not a joke. The temptation is real! haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, here they are. Still needs some background work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most difficult part still are painting the dang leaves and stems! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The coffee pot I've painted before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's from my husband when he was on board the Aircraft Carrier, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
USS Ranger CV-61, or as he say's CV -by God 61 !! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After it's final cruise before decommisioning, the Officer's got to take a piece of it's history and he chose this coffee pot from the Ward room. It's probably about 60 yrs old. I just love all the patina on it!! </div>

When I started this one I had some sunlight shining on the flowers then of course the sun moved and it kept changing...I know better but was too lazy to get out a ladder and block it out. By the next day the open flower had of course changed again! Made some adjustments and here ya go!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 way there! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This painting was kind of a mashup of other's from last week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still loving this pallete of colors. In the past I usually am obsessed with the glass and shadow's. This time around I'm not worrying about it at all. It's not all technically correct and that ok with me as I wanted to try painting loosly and quicker. Much more fun!</div>

Day 11- of the 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No Flower model today so I used a website called Paint My Photo. It's a great photo reference site that photographers allow artist's to use their photo's as long as you reference the source like I did here > by EvyMiller <a href="https://pmp-art.com/evymiller/gallery/172767/image#gallery_img">PMP</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh yes the daisy!! well mostly what I would say about it is that WHITE and all shades of white drive me crazy!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I have a dog named Miss Daisy and she is crazy too.</div>

I didn't have any live Peonies so I used an older painting from about 2005 shown on the right. I liked the flowers in it. The white jar thingy in the back is wonky and sometimes older paintings get a redo. Glad I didn't redo because it worked as a decent model! :)</div>

What can I say about Blooming Onions....really they are Chives right? This is the 3rd maybe 4th time painting this subject. One was a needlefelt version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that they return every Spring with a flower like bloom and also tastes great in a salad. So there you go!</div>

I had this canvas panel already primed a nice orangy/red background. For some reason I decided to just leave it as is for now......I may change it later and claim another painting! hehe.</div>

Day 2 - <a href="https://www.saetastudio.com/february-30-in-30-blog">30/30</a> Challenge - </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All I can say about this one is that I focused more on my red tin....and white flowers are VERY challenging. Having fun though and trying to remember "do it for the process"!</div>
