http://emackinney.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. Monday, December 31, 2012. Ringing in the New Year (or drawing it in? This is my last finished project for 2012. All told, I completed around 22 pieces, which isn't so bad considering I had to squeeze them in here and there around a full-time schedule. You can tell that the original photo was taken with a flash, which I encourage people to avoid if at all possible. In this case we couldn't get around it. Posted by Beth MacKinney. Of course...

I'm posting this drawing (a secret no longer) to celebrate the fact that we have finally cleared our yard of an estimated 23 to 24 million leaves. (We have a lot of large oak trees.) The yard looks beautiful! Posted by Beth MacKinney. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. Author Laura Hillenbrand to the rescue! Posted by Beth MacKinney. Sunday, October 7, 2012. The only problem with this time of year is that there are so...

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. Friday, May 31, 2013. I'm a little behind schedule with this one, because we had a graduation and company over the Memorial Day weekend, but life is back to normal now. (More or less.). Posted by Beth MacKinney. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Posted by Beth MacKinney. I didn't want to make my daughter wait for the next one, so I put them together. There will be an immediate post of the next strip.

All Things Art: March 2013
http://emackinney.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. Saturday, March 16, 2013. You have to understand that, primarily, I'm not a 3D kind of person when it comes to art. This isn't to say I don't enjoy 3D art. It just means that I don't do much of it myself, preferring to paint or draw. So wire sculpture, which I had never done before, was entirely new. But still, I thought, how hard could it possible be? Dolphin jumping above ocean (sun not visible yet) in progress. I'll try to get the rest ...

All Things Art: Stepping back
http://emackinney.blogspot.com/2013/07/stepping-back.html
Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. Wednesday, July 31, 2013. I think I enjoy portraits because the human face is so amazing in it's range of expression. Here's my latest project, which I was working on today. While I'm working, I sometimes lose touch with the portrait as a whole, but in order to take this progression photo, I had to step back. I immediately noticed problems, which I'll have to correct tomorrow. Can you see them, too? Posted by Beth MacKinney. Just a few pals.

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. Saturday, June 22, 2013. If the walls could speak, they'd say, "Paint me! Here's what I've been up to. (Another new thing.) I'm doing some decorative painting in a nursery. I'll post pictures when it's entirely finished. (They're putting in new light fixtures, furniture, etc., so it should be beautiful.).

All Things Art: August 2013

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. Saturday, August 24, 2013. Do it yourself stencils for face painting. I have to admit it. I'm kind of a do-it-yourself person when it comes to most things. Possibly that came from having frugal parents, who were also do-it-yourselfers. We lived on a farm, and many times you just had to do-it-yourself to get the job done. 8226; Self-healing cutting mat. 8226; X-acto knife and blades. 8226; Metal ruler. 8226; Hold punch.

Kathryn left for basic training last week (Air Force), so I'm sending her cartoons in my letters. I'll share them here, too. : ). Please forgive me if my posts are shorter. Kathryn's letters are pages long, and I think I'm emptying my word quota on her. Posted by Beth MacKinney. Monday, April 1, 2013. Posted by Beth MacKinney.
