remember when

So, remember when I used to paint all of the time, how I was an artist, and how I graduated in art. Remember how I painted these. (remember how I'm not a photographer)

(okay, so this wasn't painted, it's called scratch board, you scratch off the top black layer to reveal white)

Remember how I never paint now. It makes me sad. Really sad. I'm talking wailing and gnashing of teeth sad. I'm going to start painting again. At least that is my goal. I'll need to get rid of little Gwenie for a couple of hours each week, but I welcome that. However, I need pictures to paint. I love painting fruit, vegetables, cool old, colorful buildings, stuff, etc. I do not paint people, or animals. If any of you out there have any pictures that would be great paintings, and would love to donate them to the "McKelle doesn't paint anymore but wants to start again" fund, PLEASE send them my way!

Now that I live in BFE, I've noticed some pretty amazing old clapboard churches and barns you might like....

Jenni said...

OH! And you are an amazing, amazing artist. I mean it!

Shar said...

I so want one of your watercolors. Like, wailing and gnashing of teeth kind of want.

McKelle, I think it would be a tragedy if you didn't start painting again, you are amazing. I'll search for a contribution... for now my contribution is total moral support!

McKelle said...

Jenni, I LOVE old barns!! I did one for my dad a long time ago, and really enjoyed doing it. If you ever have your camera with you when you see any cool barns or churches, take a couple pictures for me.

Oh, and thanks for all of you moral support. It makes me feel like I really need to do something.

I want you to paint something for me. Like, when you always said you would! :) You really are an incredible artist. Don't stop. I love love love your work. I would take a pic for you, and I am even in a photography class right now, but I suck.

Mandy said...

I agree with Jana, you always SAID you would do something for me...and when we get a new house I will hold you to it! I am going to go look right now, be prepared!

I have always wanted to take up water color painting...any suggestions on how to get started?

I think I might have some pics for ya....what exactly is it that you want? If I don't have them tell me what you want and I'll do my best to take some pics for you :)

You're quite the talented artist!

Kari said...

Hey how much do you want for the 'peppers' painting? That would look fabulous in my dining room. Seriously!!! How come you don't sell your painting on ebay and make a few bucks?! What a great talent, one I wish I had.

You are AMAZING!!! And I mean it~!!

I wonder if you would be interested in painting a picture of grass...bright green grass...I need it for one of my bathrooms and I have been searching for the perfect picture for months...and up close and fun color of green!

Start painting up again for sure, you will find so much enjoyment from it :)
