What are you creating this fine Spring Passover Easter Sunday?

A more formal presentation of yesterday’s art, which needs a title. #titleme What would you name it?
All of my watercolor-ground-primed canvases are painted, so it’s time to prime some more! Today’s morning art will be in my sketchbook, as it takes a day for the ground to cure.
Watch this space for more tiny paintings! They will all be for sale at my open studio, May 13-14 (but if you fall in love with something, arrangements can be made for you to adopt it before then. ?) #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2017 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #abstractart #originalart #originalartwork #pencil #watercolorground #watercolor #winsornewton #winsornewtonmarker #watercolormarkers #100dayproject #the100dayproject #tinycanvas #tinypainting #tinyart #miniart #minicanvas

Sometimes my early morning studio (aka my bed) becomes my late night studio. Like today.
I made the mistake of hopping on the computer to “just do this one thing…” before my Creative Sandbox playtime this morning, and then the day took off with me.
I’m not complaining. My husband and I got a TON done. We’re about to have the kitchen demolished and new cabinets and countertops installed, then I’ll DIY a backsplash, and oh, yeah, let’s have new floors put in while we’re at it (um, yeah, entire downstairs overhaul!) so we are in massive clutter-clearing mode, on a DEADLINE! The haulers come on Monday!
And today we were Tasmanian Devils of clutterbusting!
But hey, what happened to my fifteen minutes of art-making??? Never fear! If it doesn’t happen in the morning, it can happen at night. ? Here’s the little canvas I painted tonight.
It’s just more likely that a monkey wrench won’t get thrown into the works if I do it first thing.
Tomorrow the plan is definitely to do it first thing again. ?
Now I’m off to brush my teeth and get some well-deserved sleep.

Something different today. I started with watercolor (Winsor & Newton watercolor markers, using paper as my palette, and a flat Derwent waterbrush), then added pencil *after* to outline and add detail.
A totally different effect, but fun!
This is #8 in my series of teeny-tiny 2″ canvases. All will be on display at my upcoming open studio!
You can see all the teeny-tinies, plus dozens of other paintings, on May 13-14, at my home in Mountain View, CA.
Stay tuned! And be sure to get on my email list for an invite. 🙂 #openstudio #svos #svos2017 #siliconvalleyopenstudios #creativesandbox #creativesandboxway #doodle #doodles #doodleart #doodleartist #doodlesofinstagram #dailydoodle2017 #dailydoodle #dailycreative #dailyart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #abstractart #originalart #originalartwork #blackandwhite #pigmamicron #the100dayproject #100dayproject

Color! I’d say this experiment—pencil plus watercolor markers—was a success. Today’s Doodlecam was part 2, adding color with my favorite tool for adding color these days, Winsor & Newton watercolor markers—they’re watercolor, but in marker form, which makes them super convenient for my early morning studio (i.e., my bed!) I use a sketchbook as my palette, and a water brush (with the water in the handle), so I don’t have to worry about spilling. No mess, no fuss, no muss.
You can see it all in action by watching the Doodlecam livestream recording at http://bit.ly/2nxhrLv
Go get creating!
