welcome to Heather's Art-O-Rama!


I've been busy getting all my art together for 4th of July Crafts on the Square in Seward, Nebraska. Seward is just crazy on the 4th! And the square that surrounds the court house is just packed with vendors and shoppers.

If you're in the area, stop by!

Today was a tough painting day. I started with some salt water taffy, but it just wasn't working. Maybe another day. I did have fun with the pink umbrella.

Still more liquorice!

I decided to do “Liquorice Trio No. 2″ in oils today. I’m really happy with the peaks and brushstrokes I’m getting in my work lately. In both acrylic and oil. Since today’s painting is still drying I thought I’d just show you a close up.

So, I’m still wondering…are you a liquorice lover? If so have you ever tried BLACK JACK gum? It was my Grandpa Muller’s favorite…and maybe an upcoming model…since I’m on a liquorice kick.
