Yesterday evening I went to the life drawing session at the Arizona Artists Guild. I am so out of practice drawing the human figure! By the end, I was mentally exhausted from concentrating.

I've been working on a new experimental bubble painting, and have had to build up layers of gesso (white) to cover up the parts of the background I didn't want to show. (More info in comments.)

Today at the painted rocks studio time at AAG, I painted these little beauties. More info in the comments.

There are moments when the air pressure between bubbles smushes some, but others are left round. This painting is a big departure from what I've been doing. It's giving my brain a real workout in the process.

Hey art gang! I need your input, please. I'm experimenting with my bubble/optics designs again. See comments for more info. Thanks in advance.

My bestie is such an art enabler! I asked her to cut a sample "AM/PM" for me to get a visual on how it would look on the flip signs, and this is amazing!

Today I did a large resin pour for some pendants I'm finishing up. Fingers crossed for good curing!

I've been working on other projects, and just finished these large painted rocks today. They're so pretty!

Here are the third 6 of reminder flip signs. Need a reminder that you took your vitamins? These do it beautifully. These little beauties are multifunctional!

Here are the 2nd 6 reminder flip signs. A friend said she thought they were coasters, you can absolutely use them as a coaster, too! Multifunctional!

My hubby and I have different sleep schedules. When we have a dog in the house, we need a non-verbal way to communicate that the dog has been fed. I'm making these now!

I decided these sky blue and gold rocks needed to have saguaro cacti on them. They're really stunning in the right light!

This painting gave me some push back in figuring out how I wanted it to look. I spent yesterday and this morning tweaking things to get them buttoned up. Yea!

I've been having an issue with one step of creating my bubbles. I think I found the solution in the art supplies I already have on hand! Fingers crossed this works like I think it should.

I wanted to go classy and gold on some of these natural background rocks. They're going to be even more stunning when I seal them and the natural color shines through! Love them!

Do you absolutely love my bubble rock designs, but you would rather have one as a painting on canvas so you can hang it on your wall? Good news! I have several bubble paintings that are available.

I gave a rock to our waitress at lunch today when my bestie and I went out. On the way out 2 more waitresses said they wanted rocks, too. There's even a "my rocks is better than yours" conversation from a waiter from last time.

Tonight at the monthly meeting for the Arizona Artists guild, this little painting won second place in the artist of the month competition. I am thrilled!

I have the best bestie ever! She is figuring it out with vinyl for additional "Art Sale" signs for me. She's so amazing! We did figure out that we missed 2 letters. Thank you, bestie! ❤️❤️❤️
