About Me

DSCN2791

I am mainly a self-taught artist. I paint with watercolors and acrylics. Also, I draw with graphite and colored pencils. I have been growing over the last few years as an artist. I have also gone back to my old love of writing. I am currently working on my autobiography. You can visit my other blog called My Crazy Life! Here is the link. http://spreadingmy2wings.wordpress.com/ It is a slow project for me at the moment, because I am currently trying to write my first children’s book about sea turtles!

I would love to hear comments from fellow artists.  I enjoy viewing all kinds of art that people do. I also enjoy reading other people’s writing.

I hope you enjoy my blog. 

Thanks for stopping by for a quick read about me!

Patsy.

    I’m so glad we were able to meet through Jill. Since I also love sea turtles, I’ll look forward to your sea turtle book!

      I am glad to meet you through Jill also! I really need to get back to working on that! I have been so busy with other stuff lately that I haven’t really been doing as much art or writing lately. We have been trying to get all of the clutter out of the house and get rid of all the stuff we don’t need or use anymore! I was feeling too suffocated to work which is not good. So hopefully, in the new year or even over my daughter’s Christmas break I can get back to that! 🙂

    Patsy Parker is such a cute name – even if some spell it Pasty. I, on the other hand, am a Patsye, which is the old English way of spelling it. Since it’s a nickname, I assumed I had license to spell it any way I wanted, and this seemed to set it apart. I am really Patricia.

    I too am self-taught, especially to watercolor. I’ve taken a few local classes, and spent more than I should have on DVD’s and books. Next week I am attending a week-long seminar with Charles Reid (you should look him up) and I’m scared silly that everyone will be better than me and I’ll be embarrassed. But so be it. I’m 67 years old and there’s so little left in my life that is capable of turning my cheeks red. I’m going for it.

    So, my question is: Whitefeatherfloating, is there some hidden meaning, or is this a Forest Gump kind of thing? Patsye

      Thank you very much. I am not a Patricia, though. My mom just liked the name Patsy.

      Hi Patsye. Wow, I have never seen our name spelled this way! 🙂 I came up with “Whitefeatherfloating” when I was reading a lot about Native American tribes in the mid-90’s. This is when we got our first up-to-date computer after being married in 1994. I needed an e-mail name, so that is what it became. No hidden meaning. I just liked the visual of a white feather floating down a river, and it sounded Native American to me.

      I have a lot of books, but no instructional DVD’s. I can’t afford those. I have taken a couple of classes, but am mostly self-taught also. I have never been to an art seminar. Have fun at that!

      Thanks for stopping by my blog!

    Thank you for your recent visit to Tiger Tail Soup, Behind the Story. I see that we have a couple of things in common: art and writing. Although I don’t paint any more, I used to do Chinese brush painting and batik, and I’ve always loved art.

    Hi Patsy. I’m amy @ 2me4art. You asked me where I had taken a photograph, but I am unable to answer it the way it came to me. My comments won’t allow me to answer directly & your question doesn’t show under the photograph. May I ask where you saw the image? It is titled ‘rust & weed’. I took the photograph in a garden store that sold large pieces of statues in downtown Birmingham Alabama…the store is named Elegant Earth at the Arbor. I too am a self taught watercolorist! So nice to meet you. 🙂 ~amy

      I saw it on your blog. I thought my comment would show up there where the picture is?? That’s strange. Anyway, it’s great. I thought maybe it was in your yard. How long have you been doing watercolor? It’s nice to meet you, too! 🙂

        Now I see you, Patsy! It was strange that day of wordpress. I’ve been watercoloring for about 10 years or so. I’ve tried a lot of media before exclaiming this one is for me! I love that I don’t have total control & if i didn’t give the water its desire to bond with itself, my paintings didn’t turn out as well. After figuring out that water really has a “mind” of its own, I felt a bit like I was working in with it. Crazy? Do you know what I’m trying to say? ~amy

          I know exactly what you are saying, Amy! Water definitely has a mind of its own. I have to say that when I’m doing really detailed work, I don’t use as much water, but then my paintings don’t always look as “watercolory” (not a word, but it works here) as other people’s. But that is just what I like to do. I’ve been working with watercolor pencils lately also which I am coming to love. I draw with them and then “add water” almost like a powdered drink. But it’s fun!

    Hi Patsy!

    I love that you are an artist as well as a writer. Me too! I think the two go hand-in-hand really and I wish you all the best in your creativity.

    I’ve enjoyed stopping by your blog and particularly like the sea lion pencil drawings 🙂

    Best wishes x

      Thank you Marija! I appreciate that very much. I haven’t done quite as much writing lately. I’ve just really wanted to keep drawing and painting right now. I was working on my autobiography, but after awhile I got bored writing about myself! LOL!!! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
