I made a video!

And what I learned was 'OH BOY!' It is time consuming for newbies!!! Painting was easy and recording it was easy but editing it and getting things 'ok' to share? It about killed me! I have such an awesome respect for all the lovely people who share on You Tube. I don't know how you do it!? Maybe if I do another sooner I'll remember the 15 different steps I had to take to get here. haha

Hope it doesn't bore you to tears, but here it is:

Sorry, but I also can't get the embedding thing to work decently anymore either! I think I've lost all of the limited technical abilities I once had!

Have a great week!

Ok....another :)

I know I missed the boat on mermaids....other artists have been painting them for a long time but I just started and they are quite fun. The first one was acrylic on 12 x 12 (yesterday's post). Today I've done a 9 x 12 watercolor. I'm just lovin' watercolors!!

Another thing I've never done and most everyone else has.....Frida! I guess I'm just slow and perhaps I'll try Frida someday too.

Have a wonderful night!

A Mermaid!

I wanted to do a whimsical little girl mermaid when I found the bubble sticky sequin thingys at Michaels but somehow she turned into a bit of  a seductive underwater vixen?

How’s everyone’s week going?  Mine has flown by.  I’m looking forward to the weekend!  My granddaughter competes in the State Cross Country event in Fargo so I’ll head there to watch.  She’s doing so great!  Proud of you Cailee!!!

 

Have a great weekend!

Thank you Serena!

I installed Windows LiveWriter and this looks much easier!

 

This is a test….I’ll see now how I can get it over to my blog! ha

I need some help?

Can someone help me figure out how to post somewhere else and transfer it here? I can't move photos around, I have so much trouble posting what used to be a simple blog update. I'm not sure if Blogger has just changed things and I haven't kept up or what???
I'd love to post more and share more but it's getting so frustrating that I end up starting and leaving because I can't get things the way I'd like.

I remember someone posting awhile back about a nice place to prepare a post and then just come to blogger and post it. That's what I'm looking for :) Anybody?
