Strawberries and Cream

No. 242, 6"x6", oil on Gessoboard

SOLD

I'm just finally learning to like strawberries.

This is the last of the instant milk paintings for a while. It turns into a nice yogurt-ish consistency when it sits out for a few days. :)

One of my all time favorites. I painted this in 2010...must have been beginners luck!

The quilt is all done and I have a new painting to show you tomorrow. :)

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♥!

Top Stitching

"Top Stitching"

Another skirt. I've really been digging in the back of my closet! I love the top stitching on this skirt and the wide waistband. Looks super cute worn with leggings, ballet flats or boots...and my usual t-shirt.
