Caymus...again:)


So, it seems the pic I had of Caymus, his ears appear short...I didn't think that was the way I remembered him, but I followed the pic. THANK GOD his dad sent me a pic of what his ears REALLY look like. I must say, now he looks like CAYMUS!!!!!:)

Famous Caymus



OK, I think that this is done!!! The first pic is after Photoshop, but it loses the softness of his fur. The second is just off the camera, and you can see the softness. What's a girl to do????LOL
Now I'm just waiting to hear back from the frame place and it will be GOOD TO GO!!!!:)

More Caymus


Got his eye and nose almost right.....I tweeked the color and contrast in Photoshop and it kinda took away the details....But, You get the idea....
Still a work in progress!!!!!:)

Caymus


This is a pastel, 18" x 24", that I am working on for a friend. His dog, CAYMUS!! He's such a gorgeous boy, I am obviously not done with him yet tho. The eyes and nose aren't even started, SHOOT, it all still needs work. But, See, I am working on it!!!!:)
Ordering mat and frame for it today!!:)

Art Show
























Well, I did it. I took my paintings, I set up a tent and displayed my paintings for all to see. I didn't win anything, I didn't sell anything. But, I reached my goal. I FINALLY entered the show that I have been wanting to be in FOREVER. I had too much fun!!!! I met so many artists that were just wonderful. Sales were really down this year, yet I had nothing to go by, I've never done it. But the other artists were telling me how BAD this show was for selling. I didn't care, I was there and I was happy. When the other artists got depressed about sales, they would come to me for some HAPPINESS!!!!!! :)
I had a GREAT TIME!!!!!!:)

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

I'm ready for the show....

My frame guy called this morning, ALL of the frames are now done. I just have to pick them up and paint them, put the canvas's in them and I am good to go!!!!!

The show is Saturday and Sunday. My spot is #96, in a good area nearest to where most people park. I have my kids and George & George's son to help me with set-up, which starts at 6am. Show starts at 10am.

IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!!!

I'm nervous, but I have faith that this will be a good show!!!:)

Haitian Boy II


I tried to take this so there wasn't so much glare on it...it's framed and of course I forgot to take a pic first!!! He's my little "alien boy"...LOL He did turn out good tho. Well, I think so. Now I have 4 single portraits and then the Mother and Daughter. They will look better, being an even amount, in my tent NEXT WEEKEND! I'm in tent #96...it's a good spot. I think the paranoia has subsided and now I'm just excited!!:)

Haitian Mom and Daugher...


A bit clearer...I hope.....
GOSH!! It still looks cobbed up!! WTF???

Saturday, November 7, 2009

DONE!!!!!



I got these done today. But I did just notice under the Mom's sleeve, the pastels are smeared....I'm thinking MY CAT!!! All I have left to do for the show is a bit of work on the Surgeon Fish. Yes, I am leaving the daughter's face like it is. I have 2 photos of her, and this is what it looks like. I realize at the show, people will look at it and thing I messed up....but I don't want to change the way she looks. SO THERE!:)

Thursday, November 5, 2009

Next pic down.....

This stupid thing wouldn't let me add more type, just another pic....so...the next pic down....



OK, the first image is the LAST one. I obviously need to put it down, do NOT look at it again til tomorrow. There's just too much going wrong with the whole thing. BUT, the good thing about that is that it is ME doing it and I WILL get it RIGHT!!!!! Just thought I'd show that I'm doing something..... ALSO, the little girl has something wrong with her face, and I'm not catching that right. I have 2 pics of her, and both show the same thing.....I'll get it right tho...JUST NOT TODAY!!!!! I REFUSE TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN TODAY!!!!
And the more I look at it, the worse it looks!!! SO NOT GOOD!!!!
YEP, I keep looking at it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother & Daughter from Haiti


So, here's the mother and daughter...Mom is NOT done...I need to do some work on her face still. I've started the daughter...obviously. It appears that the father may be the Amego Man!!!LOL I don't think I spelled that right. But, hopefully yall remember the movie!! I will be getting detail into the daughter's face today. Just waiting for Puppy Naptime!!!:)

Just another one for my show!!:)

IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!

Print of Hawksbill Reef


I ordered a print of this painting, just because I'm using a new printer and I need a copy for the show. I must say, I'm very VERY impressed!!! It got delivered to my home in less than a week. The colors are outstanding. Now, this is a Giclee, a print on CANVAS, and it comes already stretched and READY FOR FRAMING. It is 24" x 30", so that is a size that you can actually find a frame for. You don't neccessarily have to have it custom framed. For more info to order prints, scroll down to the next post. BTW, the colors are EXACTLY as shown on the next post down...
THANKS!!!
I haven't been doing a lot of painting, because of the Show coming up. I've been ordering frames and framing my pastels. I have a man making the frames for my paintings, and they are looking wonderful. Since my surgery I've had some problems and have been on complete bedrest. That just SUCKS! I'm hoping to be well enough soon to get that dang Seahorse done. There's not much left to do, but I'm not allowed to stand for any length of time. I have enough art for the show with out the Seahorse, but I'd just really like to have it there....Time will tell.....

Thursday, October 15, 2009

An old painting....


Here's a painting I did YEARS ago....but the parrot on the right had it's wings clipped. When I painted it, I knew nothing about birds. Then I CAUGHT Ikaika...my Severe Macaw. Yes, I caught him, and now I know that he was a SHE. The bird on the left is a Severe Macaw. I was at my Ex's hunting camp and my son came and got me, 'cause I'm an animal freak. She wanted my bottle of water so bad, she was so thirsty. That is how I caught her. Filled the lid up w/ water, set it in the grass and she started drinking. I had GIHUGIC leather gloves on and just grabbed her. I had her for years....then I had to move and gave her, my Ikaika, to a man that raises birds. I've talked to him since, and he says she is the meanest bird he's ever seen. Maybe I should call him and see if I can get Ikaika back.... I so do miss her and she loved ME!!:)
ANYHOW, I had painted this with the wings clipped. I've painted them UN-clipped. Much better:)
This is actually a pic I took myself at "Silver Springs"....these birds were gorgeous!!:)

I'm painting!!!!:)

Ok, I've got Tina Turner blasting and I am PAINTING!!!:)
I love the colors in this seahorse, I just am having a hard time NOT making it look too cartoonish!! I want it life like!!! Ah, I'll get it!!:)

Lonnie, my frame man, called today and he is going to help me to get all the paintings framed for the show!!! I could not be any happier than I am today!! Isn't life just ALL GOOD???!!!!! Heck yeah!!:)

Thursday, October 8, 2009

I'll be going home on Saturday...

I'm just not ready to face the real world of my home. I know I will want to clean, and I will overdo it. So, I'm staying at Mom's til Saturday. I'm sure I will be more than ready to be home by then.

I did get some good news today. My best friend, Diane, well, her dad has done alot of wonderful wood working. I thought of him today when I was thinking of HOW am I going to get my paintings framed!!! I THINK he is going to help me. I know he can do a fantastic job and make everything beautiful and very professional looking for the show! I've known him since I was 11 and he has always been so positive about my art. It would be an absolute honor to have him frame my work for the show!!!

So, Lonnie, YOU HAVE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!:)

Monday, September 28, 2009

I won't be painting for a little while...

I had surgery last week and after 5 days in the hospital I am now at my Mom's recouperating. I still have time to get myself ready for the show....so, I will be painting ASAP!!!

Til then...IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!!!:)

Friday, September 18, 2009

And some coral.....

I've added the "branches" that the Seahorse is hangin' out on. It's a type of Coral w/ polyps, but I don't know what kind it is. SO, any of my knowledgeable diving friends, what is it??? I hate not knowing what I am painting. The color is not exactly right in this pic, but it's just gonna have to do for now!!:)

Saturday, September 12, 2009

Seahorse Painting

I've had this one drawn out for about 2 weeks and have just been dying to do the background on it. The Sea Horse is BRIGHT yellow w/ some oranges. Then the limbs of the coral are whites and tans. I think this will be beautiful...I sure hope so. It's an odd size...16" x 46". I'll start the seahorse real soon. :)

I FINALLY entered a painting in The Artist Challenge. The comments I am getting from other artists are just fabulous and really make me want to create more!!!!!:)

Friday, August 28, 2009

Simma down...I'm working on more!!

Last nite I got another pastel ready to work on. It's one of my Haitian one's. This one is a mother and her daughter, at church...an open air little lean-to kinda thing. I just love the mother. She is so at peace and beautiful. I'll be posting pics soon.

AND, if I feel like painting, I have a seahorse drawn out on a canvas. This one's gonna be beautiful. The colors are wonderful in it. Can't wait!!!

I still have a few more days to wait...ok, so it's really like 2 weeks, before I hear about the art show. I just really need to know....I have no patience.

Anyhow, yall will get to see some new stuff soon!!!!!:)

Have a beer, sit back and relax...I'll post something soon!:)

Monday, August 24, 2009

Still working on this....and more...


Hawksbill Reef
5' x 4'
Acrylic on Stretched Canvas

I looked at the turtle today and realized that I need more wrinkles on the top of his neck. Tomorrow I will do that, then put the glaze on it.

I'm working on an 8 x 10 painting of another turtle and should have that done soon. I may have turtles down soon!!!:)

And, I have a seahorse drawn out to start and get done for the show....if I am "in"....still waiting to hear about that.....

Sunday, August 16, 2009

I have entered a SHOW!!!!

Well, I got everything together for the "Jury" for the DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts. It is November 21st and 22nd. I will know by Sept. 7th if I am "in". I have secured a tent already... Now I just have to paint and make frames til the show, if I am "in". I have ALWAYS wanted to do this, but I didn't do any art for so many years, it just wasn't possible. When I was in HS I always had entries in the "School Section"....I did good there!!:)

I'm probably going to work on another pastel next. After finishing a painting for a friend...LINDA!!!!:)
Then it's all about the show. If I am "in".....

The 7th seems so far away right now!!

http://www.delandfallfestival.com/


IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

NEXT!

OK, it still needs some work, but it is almost ready for the "Jury"!!!!:)

TURTLE SHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I'm LOVING this!!!! Now I know I have to get rid of some of the blue, especially on his "beak'!!! That looks rediculous.... But this shell, that is NOT done is lookin' GOOD!!!!!

I'm EXCITED!!!!!

The Turtle....

First, I can't get a good picture of this. Next, I have 2 days to get this done, make a CD with images THAT ARE GOOD to send to the Jury for the show in November. Got to have that delivered by the 14th. The turtle is going good, but I don't like that back fin that is the farthest away....it's only paint, I can paint over it. Right now I'm starting the shell.

I've had the hardest time painting this turtle. IT'S BLUE!!! I don't paint blue turtles. BUT, it is at 60 ft. and you lose color there and all color turns to blue, so I have a blue turtle. If I do it different it won't work with the coral. My major concern right now is the "beak"....I just DON'T like it. It's paint, I can paint over it!!!!!:)

Goodness, I'm just stressing myself out here!! I guess because I've got 2 days and I want it PERFECT!!! I guarantee I WILL get it!!!LOL
I'm too anal!!:)

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Coming Soon.....

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately...but I have NOT been painting. I will finish this painting HOPEFULLY tomorrow. Then I will post a new pic of it!!!!! I REALLY want to get it done and enter the DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts...that is in November. But the entry date is August 14th. I am really cutting it close with this...but I HOPE & PRAY that I can do it:)

Thursday, July 23, 2009

Almost....still needs the turtle....


COLOR!!!!

I'm working on the coral that is closer and where the flash from the camera hit...

More to come, I don't seem to be able to stop today:)

Gnarly Sponge


This tube sponge is very rough with little spikes all over it. I spent all day yesterday painting spikes...and I'm STILL not done!!! But, I am still having FUN!!!!:)

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Hawksbill Reef

Still goin' at it....working on the coral now...tube sponge & Elkhorn coral...then lots of highlights. THEN the turtle!!:)

Friday, July 17, 2009

This is TOO fun:)


Hawksbill Reef
4' x 5' ~ Acrylic on Stretched Canvas

This is going REALLY fast!!! Definitely the most fun I've ever had painting!!!:)

I LOVE PAINTING BIG!!!


I just started paint this, and I'm liking it already. The reef is probably around 60' so you lose a lot of color and get lots of blues. The edge of the reef is the farthest from you, so it's just different shades of blues. As I paint closer I'll add more color to it. I think I'm gonna have to buy more paint tho!!! This is a GIHUGIC canvas!!!!:)

Saturday, July 11, 2009

New Painting ~ Hawksbill Reef


I'm starting a new painting!! This one is 4' x 5' and I just love it. A beautiful reef with a Hawksbill turtle swimming over it. I can't wait to put some paint on this canvas!!! It's huge and should be nothing but fun!!!! I'll post pics as I go, for my "watch me paint" followers!!
Photos are from Derrek Emmett:)

Haitian Teenage Boy



Yesterday I painted, today I broke out my pastels!!:)

This is the Haitian boy I started before we moved. I think he is now done. There's a watermark on the side from our leaking roof!! I did not know it was leaking in my studio...THAT has to be fixed!!!

I'm working on getting all of my half-done art finished. It's a goal!!:)

Sunday, June 28, 2009

SurgeonFish with Coral Rubble....I think it's done....

Ok, so I painted all day and I think this is done... I just don't know.... I do know that I will not go near it again today!! I had a hard time getting a good picture of it, because it's so big. That made it very hard to get the lighting on it even. So, there are definite darks in the lower left side...they just aren't showing up right.

It is 48" x 36" - Acrylic on stretched canvas:)

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

So, I've been playing in paint again....

I've actually been working on the Surgeon Fish. He's not even close to being done, but he looks a bit better than he has for the last few months of just sitting there by himself...:)



Since I haven't posted any art lately, I thought I would post this painting. I just went thru all of my older posts and somehow I NEVER posted this one. I don't know why. It's where the whole "Reef Dreamer" stuff comes from. That would be my dive gear, waiting for me to put it on and head to the reef!!!:)
I still have the Haitian Boy to finish, a small painting of a Hawksbill Turtle to finish for a wonderful friend. I have portraits to do of 4 children from Bonaire that are just gorgeous!! I promised their dad that I would do these portraits and send them to him. AND I WILL!!! I just need to get caught up on all the things I had started so long ago.
I am quite excited about my art that is at Donna & Giorgio's on Bonaire. Yesterday I got an email from Donna and one of my prints had sold!!!!!! THAT makes me HAPPY!!!!!!!!!:)
So, now to go work on something that needs to be finished.
Thanks to you all....
And of course my "On Painting" buddies that give me such encouragement!!!! Love yall!!:)


Monday, May 11, 2009

RULIAN.....

Please scroll to the bottom and look at older posts and you will see a few of my portraits!!! I can not wait to do your children....THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pegi

I'm on island, yet still painting!!!!!

Ok, so here I am on Bonaire, yet I still am painting!!! I did a wall for my friend, Debbie, that owns the condo were we are staying. There's another small wall around the corner of this one that I'm gonna put a palm and a flamingo on. I'll post that when I get it done, let us pray, tomorrow!!!!!!
Also, I have moved my art fom Chat N Browse to Donna & Giorgio's restaurant, here on the island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has a wonderful restaurant, we're George and I got engaged on my Birthday, Friday, and she has lots of local art there. She wanted my art there, so we dropped it off today!!!!!!!!! Very exciting!!!!
THANKS DONNA!!!!
OK, hugs to all!!!! Cya soon:)
From PegiSue, engaged on Bonaire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Monday, May 4, 2009

We have FINALLY moved!!!! YAY!!!!

MY STUDIO



OUR NEW HOME
So, finally we have finished moving. Just in time too. We leave for Bonaire Wednesday morning at 4 am!!!! I am just so happy with this house. I can't wait to get all the boxes out of my studio so I can start painting again and finish up my "Haitian Kids" portraits. When we get back, that's the plan!!:)
So, to everyone, thanks for your patience if you are following this blog. And I'll be posting more art soon!!! Right now, the ocean is calling me!! I must go back to my island!!!!!:)


Monday, April 27, 2009

We move on FRIDAY!!!!!!!


We found this house, 4bdrms/3baths, and a GIHUGIC Sunroom that will be my studio. It's an old Victorian that used to be located at DeLeon Springs, then they moved it to where it is now. It was considered THE estate of DeLeon Springs for a long time. All the big parties were here!!
Well, it's ours now!!! and it's only 1 block from Mom!! See, everything does work out in the end!!! It's everything and MORE than what we wanted!!!

I'm so ready to just move and have that overwith...we leave for Bonaire in 9 days. So, we will get moved in and then go to the Caribbean for a week!!

IT'S ALL GOOD!!!!

Thursday, April 23, 2009

On Moving...

OK, so we have this great idea...Mom is going to buy a smaller house for her to live in, 2 houses away from the home she lives in now. I am going to buy the current house from her. We will be close together, I can take care of her better...it's just all good!!! Until you get a bank involved!

Mom has now gone all out and is going for an Academy Award!! She has cried, she has yelled, she has gone for pity...all with the bank. I think they should be quite impressed with how she can make them feel like shit, because, well, they are!!

We have both been packing up our houses for 21 days. We are living out of boxes now. Which is probably better then living IN boxes. That could happen soon, if the BANK doesn't get with the program. I'm thinking a nice refridgerator box, under an overpass on I-4. We can add on as needed, find another big box, break out my trusty blue box cutter that I always carry in my purse, cut a new door in, use duct tape and attach them together. We can find lovely items in dumpsters to decorate. I saw some real nice, good, used shag carpet the other day!! For beds, I have a beautiful "Bratz" sleeping bag, and a "Princess" bag from Disney!! Ahhh, what I'm picturing is just a wonderful colorful new home!! Not to much to clean. I won't be needing my Kirby, I can just make people take their shoes off before entering my box! I usually do that anyway, shoes are a little too distracting and show that it's just a quicky visit!!!LOL

I'm going to miss my pool. BUT there are really nice retention ponds on I-4. I'm sure I can just walk down to one, set up my lawn chair, get some sun, maybe have a cooler of beer.... With the people that I have considered idiots w/ their stereos SO loud, Well, now I could learn to appreciate that...I'd have some music. If I put up signs saying "98.9" maybe everyone could get on the same station and I could hear a whole song, instead of bits and peices....I'm pondering this!!:)

Well, I'm off to locate my basil...seasonings are in a box here somewhere....

Friday, April 3, 2009

I won't be posting for a while...

Or drawing. Sorry. But I will be packing and moving in the next 19 days!!! Then we go to Bonaire in 33 days!!:)

I'll be moving to a much bigger house. Hopefully I can figure out where my studio will be. I think I know, but I'll have to see once we get everything moved. This is a very important move for me. I will be closer to my mom, so I can take care of her. And, God willing, this will be the last time I ever move again in my life!!!!!!!

If anything of interest comes up, I'll post. And if by some freak of nature, I actually have time to draw before I pack up my studio, I'll post.

Thanks,
Pegi

Haitian Teenage Boy....



OK, this is not even close to being done....but as I'm working on him, I'm falling in love with him. He is so beautiful. His features are all so perfect. I know, they don't look like that now, but you will see what I mean as I get more of him done. I need to name him, instead of refering to him as "him"....Um, for some reason the name "Jerome" comes to mind when I look at the drawing. It's a strong name and he seems like a strong person.

More to come......

Monday, March 16, 2009

Will post more soon....

I'm working on a teenage Haitian boy right now, but he's been put on the back burner for a few days. We are taking a "Roadtrip of Diving!!!!" Just driving around Florida and diving springs!!:)
So for the next 4 days I won't be drawing....I'll be diving and taking pics to paint.
I thank all of my followers and everyone else that stops by here.

I promise I'll post more art soon!!!:)

Haitian Girl 2...

Haitian Girl II
Pastel on 80 lb. Strathmore
12" x 18"


Here is my second portrait in my Haitian Children series. When I look at it here, it looks like I may need to do more work on her top lip. Just a touch of white blended. And it seems to be a bit "hazy" across the eyes and nose area... I know, I am my own worse critic!! Drives me nuts.LOL

Any how, here she is. I didn't name her, I just call her "baby girl"...Yes, I do talk to my drawings, especially when they are children.:)

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Haitian Girl 2

Here she is, still NOT done, but getting there. I'm having a problem with my white pastel pencil...it's not coming out WHITE. I'll have to use the pastel stick. There's still TONS of work to do on her, but she's coming along:) I have got to do something to make her more of a baby. She is just a baby...I'll get it...just give me time:)





OK, this is SO "in the works"...but I know some of yall like to follow as I go in what I call "Watch me Draw!!"



This child is so adorable. And VERY unsure about what's going on. I SO hope I can capture that innocent unsure look that she has.


I'll do more today on her and post as I go!!:)



Right now it looks like something out of the "Omega Man"...that's just scary!


Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Haitian Girl


Haitian Girl I
Pastel on 80 lb. Strathmore
12" x 18"

This is what I have done today. I found these gorgeous pictures of these children in Haiti, and I really want to do a series of them. Then, somehow, maybe use the drawings I do to raise some money for the village that these kids live in. It's a goal I have. I am so in love with the pictures of these kids. I HAVE to draw them. They are all so gorgeous.




I need to get in contact w/ the man that took the pictures, and works w/ the Rotary Club of Tortola to see if I could actually do something to help them. I just want to draw them, they are so beautiful. I'll try getting in contact w/ him once I finish "Belle" (I named her that), so he can see what I am doing.







But, for now, this is what I've done:)


I reposted the drawing. I did the corner's of her eyes, but I just feel they need more. When I do eyes they HAVE to look real. Her's aren't quite there yet...




Monday, March 2, 2009

I actually did a "Different Strokes for Different Folks" drawing...



http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/

I'm so amazed at myself for just doing this.:)

I think they are all personalities of me!!LOL But I'm really the blonde w/ the L'Oreal Seafleur lipstick!! Then there's the girl from the Breakfast Club down there toward the bottom. They are supposed to be manikens w/ wigs. The one at the bottom definitely looks like a wig, and she's confused. Miss Neatness w/ the red hair and Miss Niceness up top, next to me.LOL

This was a lot of fun and kept me busy today.:)

Note to self: Don't do pastels with big long sleeves on. WHAT A MESS!!!!
