New Original Painting of a Teen Boy Playing his Ukulele

Hafa Adai (Hello) Everyone,

Almost finished with this piece need to add the word GUAM or some other meaningful words on the Latte stone.  Why does this painting mean so much to me?  Well sitting at my art table with a blank canvas in front of me and a pencil in hand  memories of my sons begin to flood my mind and so i decided to sketch this youthful teen boy.

At first sketch the boy was just standing, and steering needed to add some action to him.  Then i recall previously a week or two ago looking at some photos of people in particular a local man wearing a hat and playing a ukulele.

Sketching the body form of a person was not new to me and was not very good at it but i felt challenged to finish this painting.  How to draw? well let's see paper, pencil, photos, and you tube, and lots of practice and make sure you have plenty erasers ready on the other hand...lol

The best part, I love painting with warm bold colors, pencils, and inks...and Oh What A Joy it is to paint this piece remembering my two wonderful sons and the good times we had together.

Will be listed soon on my etsy shop.

See You Next Time,
Janet Marie

A New and Cute Sketch of a Latte Stone Girl

Hi There,

My sketches are starting to flow again a new latte stone girl with her bird perched on the top of her stoney head.  Some flowers growing  wild up there, bird is wearing a mar mar or what you call a flower garland, and a tiny coconut palm tree of to the side.  I'm learning how to turn these images into vector.

I will do my best to start posting again weekly, Thanks Again.

New Original Whimsy Blue Carabao Painting

Hi Everyone,

Have you ever experienced not being able to finish any one painting? and the nest starting to feel a little more quiet?  Well I took some time out to pretty up my garden, to get refocused, and get inspired all over.  You know they say gardening can be therapeutic plus my devotional time, the rewards? now I'm feeling healthier and more alert again.

I slso decided to reach out and encourage a friend even helped a dear friend with her gardening.  It just makes you feel real good inside you know.  I'm really Thankful & Grateful for my family and friends that God has blessed my life with.

Well I'm back and after spending some time in the art room, i finally finished the first piece of my new series of "Whimsy Island Carabaos".  I got the inspiration from the stone or wood carved carabaos that are seen through out the island of Guam.

Will be posting my girl carabao after this one...

Will be listing soon for sale on my Etsy shop...

See You Soon,
Janet Marie
