Saturday, August 22, 2009. New Work in Progress painting Trotting horse in Grassy Field. Recently I've discovered a new painting surface board to try, the Ampersand brand Aquabord. This product is a clayboard that's textured for watercolors, and can be displayed without glass in the frame. I actually haven't painted on it yet, so I'm starting with the small size (5"x7") to get a feel for how it's going to be to paint on. Posted by Connie Owens Art. Sunday, August 16, 2009. Have a great and blessed day!

Thursday, August 13, 2009. Southwest Wildlife Mini Hiking Journals are here! The southwest wildlife design, handmade, original mini journals are finished! Oh my God, I can't believe it's taken me this long to complete this project. *Sigh*, real life pulled my creative energy out of me for about six weeks. But I'm not going there, this blog post is about celebrating one of my original design of functional art! This painting idea came from my goal of one day visiting Yellowstone National Park and seeing th...

HOSSLASS ART: WIP continue Horse in Bright Grassy Field
http://hosslass.blogspot.com/2009/09/wip-continue-horse-in-bright-grassy.html
Wednesday, September 9, 2009. WIP continue Horse in Bright Grassy Field. Next is to free hand draw the composition onto my painting board size of 5” x 7”. Why free hand, when I could just manipulate the pic in Photoshop to the size I need, and then just trace it onto the board? After a few reviews, I decided I need to erase some lines on my horse and large foreground tree. This aquabord is super easy to erase mistakes on, I love it! After the lines are tightened up, I then add some more color.

Wednesday, March 4, 2009. My business cards I had printed quite a while ago from Zazzle have been outdated as far as web addresses so the time is right for new, updated cards. So I decided to give it a go on my own, using my Photoshop Elements program. I did not use a business card template, just used the DVD jacket label option and poke and prodded around until I could figure out what went where! Does that make sense? The result is the two card designs here. Posted by Connie Owens Art.

Saturday, October 3, 2009. WIP Horse in Bright Grassy Field Complete. My experiment with painting using an Aquabord clayboard surface is complete! Actually I finished the painting almost two weeks ago, went on with another project, yada, yada, yada…. So now here it is. Eventually I DO get around to all on the “to do” list! Close-up on the horse: I wasn’t happy with the shape of the horses chest here. And this is the finished result, using the scanner:. Or under natural light:. And close up on the horse:.

Friday, February 20, 2009. My RRC Photo is in a Guide! I have a Flickr account that I put some of my hiking trail pics on, specifically my Red Rock Canyon trail pics. There's not a lot there, just some of the highlights. Well, about a month ago I got an email from Schmap Guide editor indicating that one of my RRC photos was being considered for inclusion in the new Las Vegas activity guide! I thought, COOL! Glad someone enjoys the photos of Red Rock Canyon too! Posted by Connie Owens Art. Shops I have to...

Thursday, February 26, 2009. So I tried myspace, like over a year ago, got a bunch of spam and porn boogeymen and deleted my account fast! And then it happened, I became hooked on exploring and writing on Twitter. Oh my God, how did this happen? I guess it went easy for me because I just jumped in and really didn't try to figure it out, LOL! Already my shop views from Twitter are up! This networking avenue just might be worth it! Check out the Twitter widget on the blog now. Posted by Connie Owens Art.
