(He was actually yesterday's bunny!! :-) On the eve of our 13th wedding anniversary (Tuesday) Evan found these two baby bunnies near our front walkway! What a precious gift... :-)    Staging Photo by Sidekix Media on Unsplash  "Blue Fire for Doug", digital design When I was working for a ministry, making a very low income in the early 1990s, my brother Doug stepped in as an art benefactor, offering me hundreds of dollars to buy art supplies to continue painting in my free time. Extremely generous and kind-hearted, don't you think?? I took him up on his offer, and asked him what I could paint for him. He said, “Something blue for my living room.” I came up with an angular pastel blues combo using fabric paints-- it was a disaster that neither of us liked, lol. I didn't know what else to do, and this blue painting was forgotten... Doug passed away in 2012, but his birthday was yesterday, June 26. He would have been 57. I made this with Doug in mind. “Blue Fire for Doug”. Have you ever created something with a loved one in mind?
 Experimenting with new techniques in Photoshop using the tools from Creators Couture tutorial here.
Took a photo of Mom from her Fredonia State Teachers College Graduation in 1960 and gave it paintinerly effect! My father took this photo of Mom before they were married. Dad was 26, Mom 21.  Digital Painting, Free Flow 1 Playing around in Photoshop-- This is so much fun. I get lost in the colors!

 | My blog is 10 years-old this month! Thank you for taking the time to read and follow my posts! I realize this is a visual diary of sorts, and has served the purpose of keeping me creating in simple ways by sharing my current projects, life events, photos, and writing. After I married Evan in 2007, we had no idea the next eleven years would be filled with tremendous loss (our fathers, our uncles, my brother, my Mom, our two pets, my aunt, two cousins, as well as the loss of three family members to divorce). None of these losses were natural and all involved suffering. Have you been there? Many times, focusing on creative productivity was difficult. However, this blog was and is a way for me to share and connect. Thank you for those who have supported and encouraged me! I truly appreciate it! I’m in the process of making changes to my website and am excited to focus on creating digitally moving forward. Most of my posts will be also available on Instagram (@kathleen.rupff) if you prefer to connect with me there. Please feel free to unsubscribe at any time! Again, THANK YOU for your support!! |
