Art, art, art! Sales, sales, sales!

We’ve reached the mid-point of the February 2025 edition of The Creative Gathering. High time I share what I have been up to.

I am working in mixed media collage. 4 x 4 inches. Day 14 is 8 x 8 inches. For the most part they include painted papers (some patterned), hand-drawn elements, digital patterns and digitally created elements.

The three heart designs are completely digital. They are designs for quilt blocks, I added faux stitching, to give an idea of what they might look like when finished.

I didn’t plan to, but I have fallen into a pattern of three’s. I’ll try to continue it for the rest of the month. As usual, I started out with a defined idea. But the art has veered into new directions. Let’s see where the next path leads!

The Group Gallery, September 2024 30-Day Creative Gathering

2 Replies

We were a small bunch this round. Small but mighty! Many artists were unable to take part, but they did let me know, they hope to attend the next session. This concludes our 6th year of gathering together in the name of art and kinship.

457 pieces of art were created during the gathering. Woo Who! Our September total in 2022 was 713 pieces. One of the highest event totals we have had. More often, we produce between 600-700 pieces during the challenge.

Congratulations to everyone! You made time for yourself, time for your art. And if you only managed a few days, that still shows a strong determination. High five! Compliments as well, for supporting each other, encouraging & celebrating our individual strengths. Bravo!

The Gathering would be nothing,
without your talent and enthusiasm!

Grab a snack, and plop yourself down in a comfortable chair.
Here is the gallery for September 2024!
Roughly 3 minutes & will loop at the end.

Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed the gallery.
Happy fall y’all!

30-Day Creative Gathering Collage

I didn’t stay too far from my usual subjects. Florals dominated the month. I did experiment with a few new techniques in watercolor and collage. I learned a lot. That is always fun.

One of the reasons I enjoy digital collage, is that I am always learning new techniques. I want to do something, make it look a certain way. And often times, I have to figure out just how to do it. Haha.

My favorites are the ones I had the most fun with. Some of you have already shared your favorite pieces with me. It is always interesting to know what others find appealing.

I count my September as a successful one. I picked up a brush, after many months of not painting. My desk is a mess, and I have ideas in mind for new work. I am looking forward to that. And also to the February 2025 session of the Gathering.

I will be adding some of these to my Society6 shop next week. I will let you know when they are available. I appreciate your interest in purchasing my art. Color me excited!

Thanks again friends, I really appreciate hearing from you.
Your support means a lot to me. God Bless!
