Ok! Here are all of the rocks with their pour painted backgrounds on them. I have to let them cure for a couple more days, then I can touch up their bases. If I don't, I run the risk of the pretty paint sticking to the table and pulling off the rock. Waiting is the hardest part.

More painted rocks. I have one more round to base paint tonight.

Here are the rocks I'm working on painting. The gap is from rocks that have wet paint and are on another table. More art to come!

Which one is your favorite? I pour painted a batch of primed rocks. They were dry enough to take off their little stands, and get moved to the table for decorating; I'll do that starting next week.

I've been focusing on getting my art work out into the world, but I have a sudden urge to paint some more rocks. These have a layer of gesso, and a layer of white acrylic paint on the bottoms. I haven't decided what to do with the tops yesterday. I'm going to have so much fun!!!

Tonight was the upcoming season preview at Gammage Theater. They had those of us artists who have our work hanging in the galleries there come in for a meet and greet. I was busy talking to amazing people all evening. Thank you ASU Gammage for a wonderful evening!

Do you remember the shelves I painted with Celtic Knotwork last year? They are now out at the Croft house at the AZ Ren Fair, with the historical group.

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

I planted some veggie garden seeds today. I live in the desert, so now is the time to get them in the ground. I hope they thrive and we have yummy veggies.

I went to pick up my painting from the Tiny Show at the Herberger Theater this morning. It is home safe and sound. If this is your favorite painting that I've created let me know.

Just back from my meeting with the curator over at the Gammage Theater. I have 45-50(ish) feet of all space in the foyer, on the main floor, on the North side of the building, left when you walk through the main box office doors. I have the largest display area in the theater!

Here are the paintings I poured yesterday to test out the pattern tools my wonderful hubby 3-D printed for me. I dried some of them on a table that isn't quite level, and the paint ran a bit more than I was expecting, adding to their uniqueness. Numbers so I can come back and reference them later.

The most wonderful hubby has 3-D printed these pour painting tools for me. Today I am feeling better enough to try them out.

I'll be going live tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5PM Arizona time, in my FB Group, Chaos and Order Art by Susan Holt, to do more painting on the Carnation Beta Fish. I'm still getting over my cold, but I'm feeling better. I'll see you then!

I'm finally on the meds from this yucky cold. More creating will happen, likely next week. Yea!

My super amazing hubby is 3-D printing me some tools for my art studio. I'm excited to try them in the next week or so when I'm back to health after this cold. I'm at about 75%, and am on the mend. I love how my guy supports me and my art! He's amazing! ❤️

I didn't do much painting this week due to being sick, but I did manage to get the under painting done on the carnation during several sessions. My fever broke last night and I'm feeling a little better. #sneakpeek #painting #betafish #carnations #carnationflower

I haven't wire wrapped in years! Not bad for my first foray back. These are going to be a gift for my sister (who isn't on social media.) No spoilers, please.
