Working on pictures

I was all set to add pictures to my blog, when my husband, Kenny looked at them and decided that we need to retake them all with his new camera. I do agree. They could be better. Tomorrow is the big photograph day and hopefully I will add a slide show this week. Who knows, I might even have may website up and linked to this blog.I think this should be a weekly blog.
I'll try to take new photos of my work each week to show and sell. I have been painting quite a lot, but I have a bit of difficulty focusing on one media. I want to do everything at once. For discipline's sake I'm endeavoring to paint a painting a day without lapsing into collage cards or paper bead earrings. I love making all kinds of art, some is good for a warm up, like altering books. However, I do sometimes get carried away with the warm ups. Til tomorrow, Betty.

Blog, blog, blog is all I hear. OK, I'm blogging already. I need to blog. My name is Betty Kay and I am an artist. I was inspired by my grandmother, Ella. I never saw her paint, she was ill and her eyesight was failing when I knew her. I was only four when she passed away. I still miss her. She was one of those people who could do almost anything. she was multi talented. She had no formal training in art, but she had natural talent. Her paintings helped get her family through the great depression. She was able to sell some of her paintings for $100 each. she did commissions for the few people with money. I didn't notice her paintings when I went to her house. Only when mamma brought one of her paintings home to our house ,did I see them. When mamma walked across the living room, I saw a large still life, a vase of flowers. That is when I knew. I said to myself, that is what I want to do. The only deviation I have made is a move into sculpture and pottery. To me, all art is additctive.
Thanks for listening, I'm hoping to post pics on my next edition. Betty k.
