What's on your easel? by maggie2

What's on your easel?

These are some of my works in progress. I often work on many paintings at a time. So what's on your easel, or craft table, or sewing machine? Is photography your way of expressing your art?
The flower in the middle is painted from Wendy Chapman's @wac photo. She very kindly allowed me to use that and her wonderful shots of blackbirds. Now I just have to finish these.
Lovely collection, the lion's smile is fabulous! I tend to do the same, work on many pieces at once. I have a mess of a room of started projects, from paintings, sewn dolls, collage, pressed flowers... they're always waiting, so whatever mood strikes, I'm ready.

Some people are fortunate to be talented in just one area, while you are gifted in both painting and photography. You go girl. I love your photos as well as your paintings.

Nice shot - I only have one picture on my art table - your haron in the background looks very nice, too
May 27th, 2011  
I love this Maggie. Like everyone says your talent shines through. But, I like the photo for itself as well. I love the studio with all of the art, windows in the back. Great photo. That flower painting isn too bad either. :-().
May 27th, 2011  
Looks incredible, Maggie. Right now, mine is just the sunset I posted the other day. i am almost finished with an afghan I've been working on. Thanks for sharing your talent. :D
May 27th, 2011  
Wow, you a versatile talented woman. Your paintings are wonderful.

WOW! You are talented!

You are one talented person, Maggie! All beautiful paintings and very cool photo capturing them all!

I adore this lovely shot of your paintings! You really have so much talent in both your photography, and in your paintings! Fav!
May 27th, 2011  
Fabulous art work ,i envy you
May 27th, 2011  
Beautiful paintings!
May 27th, 2011  
love your work - and your workspace looks very inviting.
May 27th, 2011  
What a great collection, looks like you're really talented! I have a hard time finishing projects, I think I have about four knitting-project halfway and a few necklaces that need to be tweaked... At the moment photography is my way of expressing, it takes a lot of my time...
May 27th, 2011  
wow - I am impressed, looks like some fantastic paintings in progress. I am a quilter and have many UFOs (unfinished objects).
May 27th, 2011  
looks like you are very busy at the moment you are a talented lady
May 27th, 2011  
Excellent Capture! I am honored to be able to see and learn, your talents are beyond fantastic, they're great!!! Maggie, you inspire my creativity! Thanks! :-)
May 27th, 2011  
Fantastic! You are so creative. I love the composition in this shot. :)
May 27th, 2011  
@musikinsey Are you painting the sunset? It was an incredible shot. I am not good at crocheting or knitting, but I do admire people that can.
May 27th, 2011  
I think you need to get rigged up and call in those birdies...it suits you. ;-)
May 27th, 2011  
@wac My neighbors already wonder about me. Of course I wouldn't carry a laptop or recorder...I would just stand there and try to make bird calls. They might vote to have me taken away. :-)
May 27th, 2011  
@myla Same as me. I have many projects going. I want to paint a picture with fabric next.
May 27th, 2011  
@cfitzgerald Courtney, you are talented with the camera. That tells me you have an artists eye.
May 27th, 2011  
@angievega Angie, your camera is your brush and it shows in your photos.
May 27th, 2011  
@friendie Carole, what are you working on? I'd love to see it.
May 27th, 2011  
@geertje You sound very crafty. I love that. I have no talent for knitting though.
May 27th, 2011  
@littlec I love to quilt also, but havent' done any lately.
May 27th, 2011  
@kbuehl Kathy, your painting and sewing is tremendous. Your gardens are also your talent.
May 27th, 2011  
These are absolutely amazing! I love them!
May 27th, 2011  
These are wonderful - how amazing to see several of your paintings together! You are so talented. For me, photography is brand new. Aside from the camera, I have sheet music (Bach, Clara Schumann) on my piano, and a whole cabinet full of yarn to knit up. :)
May 27th, 2011  
I am soooo Impressed!
May 27th, 2011  
Wow, I'm impressed and a little jelous that you can do this, but I enyou looking at it. it is great
May 27th, 2011  
Absolutely lovely! Margaret, you are incredibly talented. Rhythm and music are part of my soul and my art. Photography is just another way I found to express myself. I am not good at drawing or painting, but I do love working with polymer clay. :)
May 27th, 2011  
Lovely! You are multitalented!
May 27th, 2011  
It`s feel good to be multy talented, hold on and make more beautiful art.
May 27th, 2011  
Love getting a peek into your studio. What a wonderful range of subjects.
May 27th, 2011  
Beautiful, Margaret. You must get so much satisfaction when your painting. I can't paint or sew or draw - photography is my only 'artsy' expression right now!
May 28th, 2011  
Wow. That's so cool! i love the two birds best! I used to be a writer, but now photography is my only creative outlet...but with all this travel, it's enough!
May 28th, 2011  
You are very talented :) These are beautiful!
May 28th, 2011  
@russianblue Kass, photography is a major artistic expression. I think every person that really tries to get that shot is an artist.
May 28th, 2011  
@tabbycat Tabitha, I always think I should be able to write (I have no clue why) but I can't I envy people with this ability.
May 28th, 2011  
@drumchic Martie....I can turn a radio on....that's it. Music is such a wonderful outlet. I'm impressed with people that are musical.
May 28th, 2011  
@drumchic Too quick with the button....polymer clay is really great to work with.
May 28th, 2011  
@melissachi I am amazed that you are new to photography. Your shots are nothing less than stunning. Knitting is a talent I don't have and I really cannot play an instrument, and my singing is just scary.
May 28th, 2011  
@kbuehl Kathy, I have seen your many talents, sewing, painting and gardening. You never stand on your plants. :-)
May 28th, 2011  
Great shot of your paintings. I am impressed by your paintings. You are very artistic and in more than one media. Amazing talent!
May 28th, 2011  
I think your paintings are great... For some reason, the crane is my favorite! but they are all awesome!
May 28th, 2011  
An easel, that's what I'm missing! Seriously, love your artwork. I really don't have anything. Nice pic!
May 28th, 2011  
Wow!! You're very talented Margaret..Love your work, well done!
May 28th, 2011  
You are a wonderful artist! They are all great!!
May 28th, 2011  
Awesome paintings Maggie!! I especially love the GBH! What is your medium? My easel will be the pavement this weekend at our Italian Street painting festival- happy happy
May 28th, 2011  
@hillcrest Cheryl, I love acrylics, I work in pastels, and watercolors but not they are not my favorites. I would love to see the street painting. I hope you take pictures.
May 28th, 2011  
Cool, You have so many works to continue, and this picture shows your wealth of talents and works. I wish I had more time to do what I would like. It is mostly in my mind now so there is nothing to show. I had in my project some pictures of my knitting from plastic bags and some paper flowers. Recycling craft is something I always do while doing other things' like watching TV.
May 28th, 2011  
such a cool talent - a great shot of your work. WONDERFUL
May 28th, 2011  
Margaret; I've been working on my photography, needlepoint, knitting and this weekend I'll be doing watercolors.
May 29th, 2011  
BTW, I love the painting all the way to the left. Lovely!
May 29th, 2011  
@peacerebel Charlene, I'm not too good at watercolor, although I do try. Knitting...never. Needlepoint I enjoy.
May 29th, 2011  
Photography is definitely my art...what an awesome addtional gift you have!
May 29th, 2011  
@maggie2 ... I'm okay at it as well regarding watercolor. I find it doesn't "smell" like oil painting and is easy to cart around, plus clean up.
May 29th, 2011  
What a talent you are! I guess my art would be with words. I do like playing with clay but my stuff ends up looking kind of creepy (so I'm told!)
May 29th, 2011

Love this photo...what a great studio, love the light ! Your artwork is fabulous...what a gift you have been given...glad you put it to good use ! I am working on my Mermaid hooked rug but I spend so much time now with my camera, she might never get finished ! Happy painting !
May 30th, 2011  
What a wonderful gift you have!
May 30th, 2011  
i really love your paintings! i always have a lot of projects going on at one time, too!
May 31st, 2011  
Love your work! When I was a teen I did a bit of pencil drawing, but I didn't continue with this. Photography is my only way of expression. I find painting very difficult but one day I'd love to learn aquarelle painting.
June 1st, 2011  
@scatcat I'm not very good at watercolors, but I keep trying. I really like acrylics and pastels.
June 1st, 2011
