"Catseye No. 2"

SOLD

I've been working on a quilt commission and really thought I would be done by now and back to painting. Since I am not, here's another past painting. I hope to be back at my easel soon!

Pinstripes

Remember those 80s pinstriped jeans? You know you've got a pair stashed somewhere. Here's a picture to remind you of how cool they were or if you are too young to remember them.

Took a little longer break than I planned.

It was good to get back to my easel and do some acrylic painting.

It's spring, but we have been getting snow showers for the last 4 days.

Walk Away

No. 223, 6"x6"x3/4", oil on cradled wood, ©2013 Heather Hingst Bennett

This was the only painting that was acceptable from a week of failed paintings. Some days I think walking away would be a good thing to do.

Actually, I'm going to be doing just that this week. My son has spring break and I'm going to be spending some time with him. :)

I also signed up for an online illustration class with Paper Fashion's, Katie Rogers. The class is called Illustrating Your Favorite Runway Looks. Oh La La...I always wanted to be a fashion illustrator so, I'm excited about the class. I think it will be a fun change!

At one time I was a technical illustrator for Cabela's. I spent my day creating illustrations of fishing vests (like the one above), waders, puffy down coats...and many, many pockets. Ahhhh....the good old days. Anyway, I'm really excited to illustrate with watercolors and use ♥glitter♥!

Last Monday my son didn't have school and I promised him we could get donuts. He likes glazed twists. I like glazed donuts. They were yummy...and didn't last long.

One Dollar Wednesday

It's Wednesday again and time for another 1 $ deal. On Wednesdays I find one of my older paintings and list it on eBay at a starting bid of $1. This week I have "Cat Eye" available. It was originally painted on March 4, 2011.

Happy Bidding!

No. 173 - Sold

"Odd Limes", 8"x8", oil on canvas panel, ©2012 Heather Hingst Bennett

My son named this one. I had a name for it while I was painting and didn't write it down, so it's lost.

But, hey, it's Friday!

I love Blue Flowers

"Blue Flowers From My Imagination"

5"x7", acrylic on paper

I have a thing for blue flowers! I'm not much of a print girl, but when I see something with blue flowers I'm instantly drawn to it.

So, what have I decided to do next...Well, of course, it's keep painting! But I've decided to switch it up a bit. I've decided it's time to get into a local gallery. Which means I'm going to start working bigger until I have enough pieces to approach a gallery for representation. I'm going to try to keep creating a painting every week day AND for the remainder of the month of October I'm going to be working in acrylics. I'm trying to go for a loose, painterly feel.

Thanks for stopping by!
