Diane Clancy's Art Blog

I like to enter the 2 Things Challenge each week. This week is Post / Card. These are my vibrant, colorful paintings of Post & Card. I have been wanting to share with you the design of my new postcard – so when Post & Card came up – it was too too perfect! Here is my chance to share some of my new advertising materials!!  Thank you for this challenge! Here are the entries for the other week’s Chain / Game. Anyone can join in, and I hope you give it a try!! We would love more people playing with us!

And here is the back or second version for this challenge of Post & Card.  For the back I decided that I didn’t really need it for sending and if I did – it would still work.  As you can see, I am marketing both Susan and my work under my business.

I am at work on getting this site and blog and email all fixed up. My host had emergency surgery today and my work was moved to another server. These technical problems have been consuming trying to get it all cleared up. I made you a new digital image for today, but I can’t get it be recognized by the site … so here is one that some of you have seen before.

Last night we had a wonderful reunion for our Business Class for Artists.  It is great to connect with other artists who are serious about both creating and marketing.  I at least wanted to say Hi and Thanks for stopping by!!

Sometimes I have so much fun making new creations – this is one of those times … This again looks like a pattern for fabric or something … very lovely to me! This is using Studio Artists on an image that I have usage rights to (one of the so-called royalty-free images).  I worked with an image and then changed the hue in Photoshop.  It does definitely look textile to me.  What do you think?  What so you see?

Spring is seriously here even though it wasn’t that warm today. But these flowers are enough to cheer up anyone’s day.  One of my friends last night said she loved these flowers … I am so delighted!!  They are in honor of her.

On a more serious note, I often copy and paste the image from a pervious post so I can just change the name of the image (and the title and alt tags).  Html talk if that sounds confusing.  I am very disturbed that there was hacking in the text of the image .. some dishonest person – you don’t talk like that from me very often – has put junk into my post.  WordPress keeps making updates to stay ahead of these spammers … but it is hard work.  

Thank you for visiting … I hope to have my 2 Things Challenge in the morning – I have a client coming at 9:30 am so we shall see.  Please tell me how you are!!

It is so inspiring to have so many bloggers yesterday participate in Bloggers Unite for Human Rights Day.  There are so so many issues that need attention and I am grateful to all who participated.  If I had more time to read, I am sure that I would have learned about many more issues!  Frances, yes, that was a bubblescape created in Bryce with the electricity thanks to a Photoshop filter – KTP Lightning.  Nora, I am very very disappointed to hear that the Netherlands went back to private health care with your “pay(ing) three times the insurance fee for less coverage.”  Very disappointing!

You can see that my feedreader problem is now fixed. Whew! One problem off the plate. It had been going on for quite awhile before I even caught it. Thank you again for stopping by and commenting.  

Hope you are all doing well today!! This is my hospital day when I go and get Remicade for the Crohns.   I plan to spend some time thinking about priorities and how I really need to spend my time. Since I feel on a treadmill, clearly something needs to change.  I can’t work on the computer or paint there, so it is a good time to think.  Thank you again!

This is the image that I have spent a day and half printing this little ACEO (2.5 x 3.5″) ..do you believe it? Wild huh? But lines kept coming out in different places that didn’t belong there. I got it printed correctly on the 7th … yes, you heard me, try. But I have lots of little seconds now that I can give away when someone buys one of my ACEOs.

I created this in Illustrator .. sometime I will explain the difference between Photoshop and Illustrator. One is vector and the other is bitmap .. when I feel better I will explain it .. it is a fun explanation. But I tricked all the programs and at last it is gorgeous!! The print quality is so so much better that it is worth all the work. But I got it ..

Right now I am missing a Greening Greenfield show that we worked on for months. I did the program for the show and it should be so much fun. There are people there in corn, carrot, apple, and 2 other fruit and vegie costumes. Sunny Green, a solar puppet, is there and there are 16 foot high puppets that are doing the show. The foyer is going to be a show in itself before and after the performance!! What fun I hope everyone has!!

I hope you are well!! I appreciate so much that you are still commenting when I am so behind. I am hoping to catch up … thank you!! And I am so glad you are in my life.
