Let The Good Times Roll, Mixed Media, Original, Contemporary Art, byLeada Wood, Texas Artist




"Let The Good Times Roll" ©2016 Leada Wood

Pink flamingos are always fun to paint and always remind me of Alice and her adventures...kind of like Leada Land where nothing is as it seems. We have been on a great adventure here at Dragonfly Farm...called remodeling. What stared out as a 3 week job has now turned into 6. Do you remember the movie The Money Pitt...now you have the picture! Oh my!

It's always a good feeling to fill up a sketchbook and start a new one. The covers must be designed first, so no plain black sketchbooks for me. Bootman is a pilot so I get all the outdated maps for collage papers. I really like painting over maps of all kinds, letting the paint be transparent in places so that the map peeks through. "Let The Good Times Roll" is mixed media using acrylic paint, stablio pencil and collage.

Sketchbook Fun, Summer Dreams by Leada Wood, Texas Artist





Painting in my sketchbook is very entertaining especially when I am dreaming out loud. Beachy things beckon to me...mermaids, seashells, sea horses practically anything to do with the beach besides hurricanes. I am landlocked at present but I can feel the pull...maybe because I was born in the sign of water or could be the need to get away and relax. I think I need a vacation! How about you?





I don't see the beach in my immediate future but I can go there in my dreams and sketchbook. Hope you are having a wonderful summer wherever you are and maybe get a little beach time.
