Trying to gt started w/my blog again.

Here are just a few of my paintings. I try to paint everyday to keep my inspiration up! Please ask if interested in any of my paintings for sale.  These are all on multi media paper 9x12". Ready for you to frame.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME...

It really has been way too long since posting anything on my blog. Hope to get more time to be present again.

 Lots has gone on since my last post. I started painting again, since I hadn't done any for about 11years! Went to Donna Dewberry's convention last July and it was full of painting eating and painting some more! Learned a lot there and haven't stopped yet. I am getting a lot of painting done, and am thinking of selling some of them.  They are mostly 16 X 20 inch wrapped canvases. I do mostly florals, but have done a bear, a dear, and a red fox, Oh yeah, I also did a tiger and Panda bear.
I hope to see more of my followers again.
You see I have some tulips, an abstract floral in blues, and some poppies I have just finished yesterday. The floral and tulips are for sale if interested please email me at crotnem@gmail.com
My bear and dear are on wood planks. I did these for my hubby. Well, hope all is doing well. Will chat again later, but not as late as before, LOL.
Hugs to all, Cheryl

NEW TANGLE AND DESIGN WITH IT!

As you can see there is a new tangle I created the other day. It was from the top of the wine bottle and was just wanting me to de-construct it! Bottom is Cross you Heart by Jenna Black and Sandswirl forgot who created it and 1-2-3 by Melinday Barlow and my fav all time from when I first started tangling I call it sunflwr! You can see 2 of Cab-or-Pinot there also. Please feel free to use this in you art, I would be anxious to see what you do with it!

Laters,
Cheryl

TAKING A BREAK FOR TACKLE IT TUESDAY.

Seems viewers have dropped to only a couple each week. I'm gonna take a break from doing it as it is pretty depressioning not seeing anyone join in. So if you were some that did do the challenge, I do and did appreciate you! I'm devoting my energies elsewhere for the time being. I'll post a pic or two every 2-3 times a month, just to keep in contact. Hope all is having a great summer.

Tangle On,

Cheryl

TACKLE IT TUESDAY IS BACK!!!

For those of you who haven't been here for a while, I was in KY visiting my daughter for the month of May, got home June 1 and just had time to recoop; and then my husband and I went to our timeshare in Oceanside, CA to spend our week on the beach!!!
So now I'm home again and thought omg, I need to get a challenge out to everyone. So here goes.
Challenge #97

I used Betweed, Abundies, and Flu-cones.


I'm changing things a bit, use string #214 from Tanglepatterns.com and with that use these tangles for your composition. Abundies, Betweed by Zentangle and one new to you tangle.
Let's get back to what we love, tangling!

Tangle On,
Cheryl

TACKLE IT TUESDAY, OOPS WEDNESDAY TODAY! CHALLENGE #95

This week is going to have your tangles starting with these letters: S-A-T . That should be an easy one to come up with something great! Now, I will not have computer access for the whole month of May. I'm going to visit my daughter who moved to Kentucky and spend some good mother/daughter time together. Her hubby is still here living with us until he finishes up some jobs he has commitments with. So perfect time for me to go! So sorry, no Tackle It Tuesday until I return.

Tangled Hugs,
Cheryl
