Painting pathways by Gloria Poole ,RN, artist of Missouri and Georgia who is gloria0817 also.

I drew this sketch last evening and painted it with acrylics over watercolors [three times painted] and photographed it and didn't like it, so I let it "gel" overnite to see how to correct it this am. It is not perfect for certain. I repainted it some, corrected the tire tracks, and named it "tire tracks through the garden". I have attempted to paint the illusion of following a path a few times now and I am including some of those below. I grew up on a farm--a big enough farm that my daddy could drive the truck through the garden and through the crops. I also created another sketch I named "inspecting the crops" and it is my attempt to sketch exactly that--driving the truck through the crop rows; and it is on another blog of mine. I think it is on https://gloriapoole1749.wordpress.com or https://gloriapoole.wordpress.com in archives now. Also, I was attempting to paint in a white-washed fence where the paint is wearing off .

This is the sketch I drew and painted of a mother and daughter about to set out on walkabout following a path. I painted it again into oils on canvas which is the next photograph. My signature is barely visible in the bottom corner.

This is an OIL painting on canvas that I painted and it is on my display wall in my alcove where I sit to draw and paint when doing sketches. I have an easel in two other places of my apartment where I paint on canvases, depending upon the size of the canvas. I have a canvas that is ready for me to begin and I have finally decided what I want to paint on, so will probably start that today since it is raining here in Missouri today.

This is the sketch of a path that goes over a walkover bridge. I am totally fascinated with walkover bridges and have sketched them several times trying to get them correct. This sketch is of a Japanese garden walkover bridge and path that I drew and painted using a photograph as a reference. I draw free hand always and sometimes use t-squares, rulers, templates for windows when drawing architectural sketches. But usually I just draw it as I see the photo or the TV, or the news photo on computer.

For the record, all phones associated with this account and blog and indeed any blog or account of mine, belong exclusively to me and are physically in my own apartment in Missouri until I walkabout. I have a wired, landline telephone in Missouri, and cell phones and I switch around the numbers on my accounts from time to time if I think account got compromised. Also, remember I draw, sketch, paint tweet, blog from my own apartment and do not have a "boss" nor a "supervisor" nor a "co-worker" nor an employee; nor an "associate" nor an agent of any sort that is or ever was authorized to represent my art, my writing or my name I was born with or my name as it was when I was married two different times but divorced two different also, in any capacity, in any transaction, in any endeavour whatsoever.Also, for the record, I have several blogs that I post art I create too including:

This is my hand on one of my Southern Baptist christian cross necklaces that shows NO image of artist's idea of what JESUS looked like. There is no physical description of JESUS in Bible, nor is there any physical description of GOD THE FATHER as HE appeared to Abraham. Exodus chapter 20 warns against making images, statues, or idols of GOD in any manner. I do not make images or statues or "graven images" [molded?] images of what I think GOD THE FATHER or JESUS THE GODHEAD IN THE FLESH WOULD LOOK LIKE. BECAUSE I ADHERE TO COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.

Footnote:My daughter Jennifer does not paint or create anything in my apt or paint on any art I create and never has. How she helps me is if I have problems with a painting, I photograph it and text it to her in Omaha, Nebraska, and ask her opinion of why it looks wrong? And she will text me back with words such as neck is too long [on one of horses I painted} so I repaint it. I ask her opinion before I sign difficult paintings to see if they look right to her? In other words if they don't look right to her, I re-paint them. I value her and my other daughter Leigh's opinions about art because they formally studied art in Italy and at their universities. I formally studied drawing and had some tech school classes on mixing paint and oil painting but my college education is not in painting or art. I am educated as REgistered Nurse and have a business degree from University of Georgia.

My very first clay object I made and painted by Gloria Poole,RN,artist of Missouri and Georgia

This is my photo of the clay 'doll" in a "bassinet" that I made from some of the clay I received as a Christmas gift from my daughter Jennifer,[who has art degrees and is my "art critic" to help me get perspective correct at times; see footnote] and who encourages my art. I read in art history [before Christmas] that Picasso made about 10,000 works of art, some on canvas, some with metal, some with bronze, some with clay, and I thought why shouldn't I try other mediums to create art? So I mentioned on phone that I wanted to try to make something with clay so Jennifer bought clay for me for Christmas. Doing anything with it was NOT easy! I put the red clay only version of this with the tools I had made from household objects on another blog of mine in its rawest form [https://lifes-entertainment.blogspot.com] an entry or two back [not the top post]. I wanted viewers to see the "process" sort of. Then I let it dry from that day of those photos until yesterday at room temperature. When it was at so-called "leather stage" I signed my name and date on the bottom of it. I had researched on web how to make clay object using "hand-thrown" method and the youtube videos were really my learning tool. I admit is is very primitive but it actually looks better than I thought it was going too, when I was sitting there with clay everywhere and grappling with it sort of to force it into any sort of shape. I almost quit and threw it in trash. Then thought, 'hey, if Picasso could do this then so can I", and proceeded. Last night I painted it. Then this morning I tried to paint the bassinet like a reed basket but it didn't look right. Plus, the babies in my family [for as long as I remember way back into my own toddlerhood because I have a brother who was born when I was 16 months old] slept in bassinets, so decided that is more true to real life for my family. So, I repainted it in white this morning, so it has about three coats of acrylic paint. So, it is not perfect by any means but it is better than I thought it would be. I decided to forgo the customary blue or pink blanket that swaddles the so-called baby because I wanted it to be something little boys or little girls could play with. The swaddled blanket leaves much to be desired. I have more clay and will try again to make something artsy from it. But anyway, I am sharing these photos I took of this this morning with world. See more by scrolling.

Close-up pf clay "doll in bassinet" that I made from clay and painted.

This is the underside of the clay doll in bassinet that I signed when the clay was a bit damp still, called the "leather stage" and I signed the year. I realized after I photographed it, that is probably my finger prints in clay forever!

Photo of what I did this past Saturday by Gloria Poole,RN,artist of Missouri

This is my photo of "Chuck E " I photographed at "Chuck E Cheese" pizza and game room on 28 Feb 2015. I was invited there with my youngest daughter Leigh [who is grown and her tots] and so I went along. It was all overwhelming--the flashing neon lights, multitude of colors, loud noises [games] gave me a major HEADACHE. So, I went to the part of restaurant reserved for birthday parties since it was empty. My grand-daughter who is 2 came and joined me. Her brother who is four was riding the "horse". She was mesmerized by that "Check E" and asked me what it was? And I said a giant toy that plugs into the wall like your TV. That seemed to satisfy her. When I asked if she wanted me to go with her to hold her so she could touch it, she looked at me with a sort of horrified look on her face and shook her head. I realized she was sort of afraid of it. I sometimes try to remember what being 2 felt like--being 2 feet tall and seeing everyone's knees or shin bones and having to climb on something else to get to the table or anything. So, I realized a nine foot tall animated "mouse" could probably be really terrifying up-close and personal. She just sat on bench and stared at it for about 10 minutes then went back to ride in the teacup. I think that was probably the only time I will be at Chuck E's since my head didn't stop hurting til I got home, and closed out the noise, lights, neon, etc. It's an overwhelming experience for me but I have had concussions and do not have "normal" neurons in my brain now. I am mostly posting this here so my daughter can show it to them if she wants, and discuss it with them. I remembered when my oldest daughter Jennifer was two, our neighbor dressed up as Santa Claus and came over to our house [during my first marriage] and brought her a toy dressed as Santa. Well. Jennifer was fascinated until A.P. walked over to hand her the gift. When that red furried arm reached toward Jennifer she drew back and let out a blood-curdling scream, and shocked all of us. I was absolutely shocked by her reaction. I kept saying "Jennifer, it's A.P. our neighbor dressed up as Santa". That didn't make one iota of difference. Jennifer screamed until A.P. left! It was a total embarrassment but I couldn't really fault either of them. Jennifer had never even seen a photo of "Santa" and A.P. thought she was doing a kindness for a child.So, I remembered all of that on Saturday with my granddaughter who is age 2 now, and who looked at me as if I had lost my mind when I asked her if she wanted to touch "Chuck E".
