My Moebius Strip Zentangle Challenge Entry

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Moebius Strip Challenge

Each week the Diva puts out a challenge for folks to make their representation of her idea.  This week is the “Weekly Challenge #151: String Theory: Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day“  The Diva’s son has Moebius Syndrome and it is worth reading about it and why she chose the Moebius Strip.

Zentangle Enticed Me

Zentangle has become popular the last couple of years and I have been intrigued but never really put my attention to it.  This is only the 5th Zentangle inspired art piece that I have made. I tried things I had never tried before and this seems too messy in the lines to me.  But I am going to let it stand and learn!  (Hopefully learn)!!  I have been slowly sharing my other ones on Facebook.  I changed to using Art Card size (2.5×3.5″) since I have a bunch cut out already from good quality paper.  It might not be as smooth as it should be.  But I am learning!

A Fantastic Giveaway!

I have been asked by PrintKEG.com to host a giveaway with THREE winners of $50 credits to their site. (Sorry, prize can only go to US and Canada, but at least Canada is included!!) Multiple easy ways to win – for each entry, leave a different comment on this blog post (https://www.dianeclancy.com/blog/2014/01/giveaway-printkeg)

Blue Note Pastel

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Yesterday we went to see my special cousin who has been so influential in my life – and who is currently very sick.  It was wonderful to see him and I think seeing us was very good for him too!!  Prayers and healing are still greatly appreciated for Vincent!!  I love this vibrant, colorful painting – this Art Card, ACEO, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2″.  To me this looks very romantic and seems like music – I think that is why it is called Blue Note.

I hope your life is going great!  Thank you for being understanding that I am taking a few days why I am focusing less on art and business and letting myself heal and find my bearings.  Thank you so much for coming by!!

Prep Work for the AWE Project

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Today we have been getting ready for the current AWE Project (Artists Window Exhibit).  Most of the windows are already up and looking great!  But Susan Elkin and I are doing Wilson’s Department Store window from May 11 to June 8 (instead of the month of May).  We are the first ones to show in this particular window – this store is one of the anchors of downtown Greenfield.  So it is pretty exciting to be showing there.  It is going to be quite a showcasing of our work!  Our friend who creates Wilson’s windows came over today to plan out how the window will look.  It will look lovely but be quite complicated to put up – I hope Susan will take pictures so you can see it!

Sunrise Flowers

These next 4 days are going to be quite a ride for me … there is a lot of prep work for these AWE windows, prep for the TV recording Wednesday afternoon, more publicity about the AWE Project, the monthly Fostering the Arts in Franklin County (building the Creative Economy), 2 big meetings around the local mayor’s race, getting the garden started and some other life chores that need to be done in the next 4 days.  Oh right, and I should do the layout of the People’s Voice – now have the materials all ready to work with.  And I still need to be getting more rest for my health. Wish me luck to somehow flow through it all with grace, ease, delight and joy!!

How are you doing?  Thank you for stopping by today!!

Slightly Different Style Pastel

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

This vibrant, colorful painting was created for the 2009 WWAO Swap (Worldwide WOmen Artists Online).  It is an Art Card, ACEO (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″).  This one is called Shimmering Fields. It is a different style from the other flower pastels … I was playing around.  The original is gone, but prints are available.  Do you have a preference for one style over the other? Today Susan Elkin and I went to the offline, real life meeting of the Western Mass (US) Street Team.  It was cool to meet some of the other Etsy sellers.  Search for the tag “WMass Team” if you want to see some work from this dynomite group!  Here is my shop and here is Susan’s shop. Shimmering Fields, Pastel © Diane Clancy WWAO on the site says “Worldwide Women Artists is an international collective of women artists showing and selling our work through the worldwide web. As women artists, we give birth to our ideas in a variety of styles and media. We embrace the diversity of each other’s work, celebrating the joy of creating our art and sharing it with the world. We welcome female visual artists from all over the world who create and sell their own original art.” Thank you for stopping by! ~ Diane Clancy Technorati Tags: Diane Clancy, vibrant colorful painting, pastel, ACEO, Art Card, WWAO, Etsy, Western Mass Etsy Stret Team, Susan Elkin … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Spring Firecracker Flowers

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Today is a glorious spring day – and I am still recovering from several hard months. Tomorrow I am hoping to make some more pastel ACEOs and scan them in to show them you.  Here is one of the vibrant, colorful paintings I created awhile ago – an Art Card, ACEO (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″).  This one is called Firecracker Flowers – I hope you are enjoying these pastels!! Firecracker Flowers, Pastel © Diane Clancy I know I am creating a lot of flowers, but …  when I am in the flow creating in a certain style, I can paint and paint and paint … but then later I am in a different flow.  And then it is a different style that flows out of me.  Once these flowers stop, who knows when or if I will get back to them.  And I am so, so delighted to be working in the studio with traditional mediums!  Love to hear how you are!! Thank you for stopping by! ~ Diane Clancy Technorati Tags: Diane Clancy, vibrant colorful painting, pastel, ACEO, Art Card, creating … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Blue Twilight ACEO

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Here is one of the vibrant, colorful paintings I created a few days ago – an Art Card, ACEO (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″).  This one is called Blue Twilight – I hope you are enjoying these pastels!!   Today I created 1 more flower pastel – but it will take me a couple of days to get it scanned and prepped. Blue Twilight, Pastel © Diane Clancy Today was a rough day physically as 2 extra things got put onto my day … so I am exhausted.  But things are plugging along and it is going to get cooler tomorrow.  I just came by to say HI and share a vibrant, colorful painting you have not seen yet.  Love to hear how you are!!

ArtFire and a New Pastel

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Here is one of the two vibrant, colorful paintings I created a few days ago – an Art Card, ACEO (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″).  This one is called Sunny Blue – I hope you are enjoying these pastels!!   Today I created 2 more flower pastels – but it will take me a couple of days to get them scanned and prepped.  I wish I had an easier system to share them with you the day I create them!  That is one of the beauties of digital art!! Today is a Sunny Blue day here! Sunny Blue, Pastel © Diane Clancy I got this one listed as an original in one of my shops!!  Each original is listed in only one shop – since I don’t want to deal with the possibility that at any original (so only ONE original) would sell at 2 shops at the same time!!  This one is listed at my ArtFire Shop.  I might make some limited edition prints (that means, a certain number, not open-ended) … but there is just this one original!  This is listed right here at ArtFire. Elegant Green, Pastel © Diane Clancy I am very excited to now have an original at three shops online!!  Making progress!  Thank you so much for coming by and looking at these!  The originals have no signature on the front – only the back – and the color is more delicate than it is here.  The prints I make will be a little more … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

The colors make my heart sing!

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Here is another one of these vibrant, colorful paintings – an Art Card, ACEO (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″). This is a quick post … just want to share another creation with you.  I am having a fun time making these little pieces of art!!  I LOVE this one!!  The colors make my heart sing! Peach Dream, Pastel © Diane Clancy To me these colors just dance with each other … with total joy and beauty!!  My eye keeps going from one part of the painting to another.  And the dance is horizontal, vertical and diagonal … so that makes it a good design to keep the eye drawn in.  I looked at a version in grayscale to make sure the underlying composition works and not just the color – it still dances.  So I would say this is a winner! It is warm and glorious here today – at last I am warm enough!  It was up to 89 degrees.  It might have been a little warm outside but inside it was the first time in months I have felt really comfortable!  Thank you for stopping by!!  I would love to hear how YOU are! ~ Diane Clancy Technorati Tags: Diane Clancy, vibrant colorful painting, pastel, ACEO, Art Card … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

2 Originals in Online Shops!

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

Here is another two of these vibrant, colorful paintings – an Art Card, ACEO (2 1/2 x 3 1/2″).  I actually got these listed as originals in two of my shops!!  Each original is listed in only one shop – since I don’t want to deal with the possibility that at any original (so only ONE original) would sell at 2 shops at the same time!!  This one is listed at my 1000 Markets Shop – This Elegant Green pastel is for sale right here!  I might make some limited edition prints (that means, a certain number, not open-ended) … but there is just this one original! Elegant Green, Pastel © Diane Clancy This Purple Dusk pastel painting is listed in my Etsy Shop – I am delighted to show you it right here.  Saarmst1on Twitter called this a Purple Deco – I like that idea a lot!  I am very excited to at last get 2 of these in the shops online!!  Making progress!  Thank you so much for coming by and looking at these!  The originals have no signature on the front – only the back – and the color is more delicate than it is here.  The prints I make will be a little more vibrant as the color is here.  I lightened the images for the shops of the originals to more accurately represent the color.
