I know what you are thinking. “Elisha, there’s not a lot of art on your art blog.” I have actually finished 3 paintings this year so far and I have a few in progress. Unfortunately, I’m having issues with my camera connecting to my computer so really good photos […]

Commission – Tara

May 9, 2013 in Art tagged Commission / Elisha Dasenbrock / Female / Portrait / Small / Watercolor by Elisha

Womp, womp, womp. I have my first casualty. That is some dead lettuce. Maybe it will perk back up, but I do not hold out hope. I noticed this two days ago. I had not watered the TTs because it had been raining almost nonstop since I planted […]

Dead Lettuce

May 8, 2013 in Nomad Life tagged Dead Lettuce / Garden / Topsy Turvy by Elisha

No more shelf! So much space. Sorry for the bad pic. That’s just my future shining in…it’s so bright and all. The first weekend I had the RV (after I picked it up from Ohio) I drove to my Grandma’s. I had my niece and my brother Ninja […]

Mini Updates

May 7, 2013 in RV tagged Remodel / RV Makeover by Elisha

This is when the grunting starts. The first tools I set out for were the Dremmel Saw Max and the Dremmel Multi-Max. Dremmel Saw Max: It cuts stuff. (Photo courtesy of Shanty-2-chic.com) I really thought I was set with these two. What else could a girl need? […]

Tools

May 7, 2013 in RV tagged Make-Over / RV Remodel / Tools by Elisha

I have wanted to start gardening for a few years now, but I thought the dream of home grown tomatoes would have to sit on the back burner while I lived my dreams of gypsy life. I had a brilliant idea for a bumper garden and Google quickly showed […]

Gardening…Nomad Style.

I may be missing a few things, but I will add them on as I go. Question marks are for things I may not do. “New” just means new to me, not necessarily brand new. Fix Water Damage- living area, bedroom, bathroom, above cab. Paint walls New Flooring Cabinet doors […]

New Art Blog

April 24, 2009 in Oops! I forgot to pick a category! by Elisha

First I would like to say that I removed all of my images from deviantArt. It was not where I wanted my artwork to be shown and their behavior to the artists was a little unsettling. I just bought my name as a domain and will be working diligently on […]

Painting as a lifestyle choice.

April 23, 2009 in From Me To You tagged artist / artwork / Painting as a choice by Elisha

My auction painting is up at deviantArt. You can check it out by clicking on the link to the left. It’s the one of the tulips. That was a horrible, yet wonderful experience all rolled into one. It was a great experience where I just happened to feel horrible for […]

1 Hour Gesture

February 20, 2009 in Gesture Painting tagged 1 hour gesture / Art / artwork / gesture painting / paint / paint brush / Painting by Elisha

My favorite gesture by far. 3 minutes is almost too short for my style. The wet on wet technique that dominates my way of painting does not work well in such a short period of time. There’s no time to dry between layers and while everything blends together beautifully there’s […]

5 Minute Gesture

February 20, 2009 in Gesture Painting tagged 5 minute gesture / Art / artwork / paint / paint brush / Painting by Elisha

The first gesture of the week. I enjoy this one because it shows my progress from the first time I took this class. I was known as puddles that semester. Not because I have a habitual problem wetting the floor, but because all my gestures looked like puddles of color. […]

3 Minute Gestures

February 20, 2009 in Gesture Painting tagged 3 minute gestures / Art / artwork / brush / gesture painting / paint / Painting by Elisha

Meg This is Meg. This model was a bad two weeks for me. I don’t have anything against her, but I hate drawing her. She is near impossible. Her coloring is difficult as well. Every time I sat down I happened to be in mostly shadow and her shadows tend […]
