That's a painting I did of Lissa and her mom when Lis was in the hospital the first time. I did a quick sketch and memorized the light and came home and scanned the sketch in then I used a digital paintbrish to finish it. I like digital painting, it's like oil painting with no mess to clean up. People sometimes think "button clicking" when you talk about digital art, but, to me it's the same as painting in real life, all I miss is the smell of Linseed and Turp. And I can live without that. I don't use any "effects." I just grab a virtual paint brush and mix some colors. I use that "push" brush a lot. I like to blob the paint on the virtual canvas just like I do in real life and shove it around until it takes on a shape. Anyway, digital art is real art to me and I don't like to argue about it with fanatics who are afraid their talent will be stolen by button clickers. I can tell who's a button clicker and that stuff is like...crafts to me. People should lighten up in the art world. The next Pablo is not going to be mistaken for someone who does scrap books.*
So, Lissa mom really is pregnant. I can see it in her energy and she asked me and I said yes, you are. Lis can see it too, tough she doesn't understand what she's seeing. My DIL can be very pretty when she's in a good mood and every thing is going according to her plan. And when it's not..I can read it in her aura and I try to aviod her then. So, now I have to figure out how this new baby will fit into my life. He (Lis and I both think boy right now) will not be related to me, but, he will be related to Lissa. He will be her brother. I suppose it will all work out..I like babies. And this one will have it's own Grandmother. Will I be it's step grandmother? Is that how that works? Shrugs. More toys to buy. But, it is careful ground to tread.

I really like that picture. You have talent by the bucket load! I was sitting outside thinking of you and elementals. I think you are a wonderful person.

Wow Pat. Very nice. I would challenge anybody that says that is button clicking to try it! I have and believe me, it's not button clicking.

Oh ya. Do you have a Wacom tablet? I'll send you a pic that Jess did using one. Amazing stuff. If you just use a mouse to do that I am amazed!
I just use my mouse, I have one of those mouses where you don't need a pad. It's sensitive and I'm used to it. Peggy has one of those tablets though, they're fun to play with. But, I kinna like mouse painting. I started in the pic program we all have on here, can you imagine what I was like when I discovered art programs?? LOL.
Thanks Daphne, you're sweet.
Dishy - In a way you will be the new baby's grandma as well, becuase he will be Lissa's brother. I agree it is an area to tread lightly around but no kid ever recieved too much love or support. He will be a very lucky little guy to get to spend sometime with you! Congratulations!
I remember that picture from the hospital when you had the other blog thread before the dirty disher and loved it then.
As far as the baby when "he" arrives you will be a part of the life because you are that type of person and will be there for him when he needs it.

I Love this. Its very Vangoghish
I was thinking this was reminiscent of Mary Cassatt's work. It is a beautiful picture.
As far as the new baby, I had a lot of "grandmas" growing up. It's up to how you feel but since you have so much to offer, who cares that he isn't your biological grandchild. JMHO.
I like Cassat. I don;t do a lot of baby pics myself. It's not my thing. And I'm not an Impressionist worshipper. I like Pissaro a lot. I paint in a Vincent fashion and did it before I ever heard of him. I'll never be as good as him, but, I relate to his stuff a lot and have it all over the house.
The new baby...geez. I don't want to have him 24/7 like I did Lis. I'm old and tired so I'm glad he has a Grandma to help with that. But, I want to make sure he never feels left out by me, like presents and holidays..etc. I suppose it will work out.
See, my DIL's mother is worthless. She has little to do with Lis, so that was all on me. This baby will have other family.
When I first scrolled down to this entry as SOON as I saw that painting I said "what a beautiful painting". I am SOOOO happy to learn it is yours!
I love it!
I need to know if you have any prints for sale?
I think it's great you would include the baby in any way. I was thinking more of people who would completely ignore this child because s/he is not "their blood." I hope things will work out with the DIL, but I am a realist so all I can say is good luck and do as much or as little as you want so you can keep the peace.
Somewhat OT, but I have been interested in your elementals and readings of people posts. Do you get any readings off of people from what they write here or is it something that has to be done face to face?
Don't worry about the new babe right now DD. Things will fall into place and you'll eventually figure out how to approach the situation. You can always start by letting your DIL know that anyone that is a part of Lissa, is a part of you and you are there for support. Lissa will probably let you know if she prefers to have her time with you just be for "just you two" and when she wants her brother to be part of things. Let her dictate..she's a smart little cookie.
I don't have any prints, if someone likes something of mine, they're welcome to it. I just paint for myself.
for as tough as you seem to be you are really sweet on the inside...I know you don't believe in God but if you did I would tell you that a part of him lives inside you...and it's so easy to tell...
I agree on the Mary Cassett reference.
Regardless, it is beautiful.
Do you have a high resolution jpeg of it? If so, please send.
I would love to get a large print/copy made. I have a perfect place in my house for it.
I just love it!
Oh and can I place it on my blog tomorrow?
Beautiful work Pat. I'm a linseed sniffer and turp junkie. I actually like the mess. I think anytime anyone creates something it's real art. Creativity in any form is, "real".
Your garden, your words, your readings are all creative forms of expression. You are, "Art" in many fine forms.
Ohhhhh that is beautiful!!! It doesn't look digital, it looks like real brush strokes to me, and it's very ethereal....me likey!!!!
I haven't done any art in years.....I used to draw every day...but I haven't picked up my pencils in a long time. I think I will soon....
that looks awesome!
Love the picture. You are so talented!
LOL, Moon, please take it. You're so sweet.
3:25:00, there is no part of god inside me. I don't want that shit near me or on my blog No offence, but, I hate it. I pisses me off.
That's funny, I also instantly thought of Mary Cassett. I love those tender images of a mother caring for her baby.
I love your painting, it's very sweet, just like you.
