Website update

Hello everyone! As many have most likely noticed my site has been "broken" these past few month......well not for long! I have figured out the direction I'll be pursuing since I changed my hosting for the site. The site is under construction so please bear with me but hopefully will come together quickly as I tend to obsess over things once they take flight until they're complete.

You can monitor the progress at www.logansmeadow.com

So that being said (I know, written would be more accurate) stay tuned!

Reaching

Long time no update........this year has been a pretty bland artistic one for me so far. My site unfortunately is still not operational and not much time has been given to creative whims. Well until a month ago that is. I have finally given myself a shake and picked up my paint brushes again. My wonderful husband gifted me with a new easel and some canvases for our anniversary and the spark has lit up again to paint. There's always something about new "tools" that get the creative juices flowing again. Since my daughter's mural I haven't really painted much up until this piece and another one is being worked on as recently as today.

*side note: Leigh's mural is complete and new pictures will be posted for the completed piece. I've also started work on a mural for my son which I will start posting about in the next week or two once all the back to school excitement has completely died down


Reaching is a larger piece, 16 x 20 inches to be exact and is painted with acrylic over stretched canvas. I was able to play with some additive that gives it the consistency and drying time of oils and managed some interesting overlapping effects with it. Thanks for looking and continuing to follow. I'll be sure to update you regarding my latest piece as soon as it's completed, stay tuned!

Leigh's Garden continued......

Well I've gotten two more days work into the mural.....I meant to post pictures after the grass was added almost a week ago however put the room back together before I remembered to take the pictures. Oh well, I've managed to get another day's work in as I was home with my son who has an ear infection. Not good to miss work, but a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. That aside the progress ended up being a nice little surprise for my daughter when she came home today, so I'm happy! So, without any further delay, here's the pictures of the progress......

Leigh's Garden

With my daughter's seventh birthday soon upon us I've decided to start my project/birthday present for her. This year I'm painting her a mural of her own for her space. I promised myself when we finally bought our own home that both children would have their own personalized room so my daughter and I thought long and hard and she decided upon a garden for her room complete with a sunny sky, flowers and butterflies. I was going to wait until later in the year but the recent good weather we've had has inspired me to start a little earlier, plus my daughter's face when she saw me take the paint brush to her walls ignited the urge to get going even more. What better motivation than an excited happy little girl urging you on. So with that I will leave you all with pictures of my first leg of the journey and will be sure to keep you all posted as the mural progresses.......oh and the blue of the closer shot of the sun is the truer colour. My camera seems to be quitting on me sadly. Thanks for looking/reading!
