Jean Bernick: Something about me

I love to be out in nature and I like to paint wild creatures. Fortunately my husband likes to photograph nature, especially birds, so I have plenty of reference photos to work from.

Something about me. Places I have lived. Ellen Payne.

Things about Me, Multiple Personalities of Penny Lee StewArt

I find my art often affects my life, and vice versa.

A few years ago, I spent several months painting pigs for a rescue site, and their sad stories affected me so much that I became a vegan. 

I used to be a professional puppeteer, and even changed my name to Penny Puppet for many years. I did ventriloquism, Hand Puppets and Marionettes.

I painted Cat Rocks and sold them at my craft store, The Crafty Lady Boutique, but they were too heavy to ship, although the craftylady.com still exists!

I tried bellydancing 20 years ago, and painted a series of costumed dancers ACEO size. My stage name was "The Pink Gypsy" and I even made a website, pinkgypsy.com

I painted this portrait of my Chihuahua "Lily" and then spent several years doing pet portraits in acrylics and watercolors.

About me, Crochet Art, Penny Stewart

About Me:  Currently I am crocheting more than painting.

I have always lived by the slogan, if one is good, then two is better, etc. I am now hoarding yarn, so if anyone has any they wish to get rid of, I will send you my address. Right now I am trying to sell my crochet wearable art on Etsy and hippyknits.com but so far no sales.  If it doesn't start selling by Christmas, well, all of my friends and relatives will be getting handmade one of a kind crochet gifts this season.

I even made a hippie doll, which is called an Amigurumi, and that was fun! 

I may make more of these! 

Tonight I made a muppet head to hold my glasses when I take them off

Plus many scarves, slippers, hoodies, shawls, afghans, and 2 cat beds for my son's animals. Now that I write about it, it does seem a bit obsessive.  LOL.

Something About Me, Lynn Cohen

Well, I am an artist who uses coffee houses, book stores, restaurants and the like as my art studio(s) to draw in ... I spend good parts of mornings 3-5 days a week drawing between 2-5 drawings at a sitting. I color them there with watercolors (above) or colored pencils or markers or crayons/pastels/.
I like having fun by giving my people conversations on occasion or just balloons like these to tell my viewer what was going on.

Have a fun and creative week!  SEE MY REQUEST FOR OUR CONTRIBUTORS OR VISITORS TO SEND ME SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW THEMES FOR 2016. THANKS!
