Sketchbook

I spent much of August and July painting. I tried to do another 30 paintings in 30 days, but I think I managed 11. I’m planning on posting the paintings here, but you can scroll through my facebook page in the meantime. I’ve been taking care of my Grandma again […]

As The Art World Turns…

August 24, 2015 in Nomad Life by Elisha

I may have made this clear, but I have a love/hate relationship with being an artist. I love everything about it, except what I hate. I love the people. After art school, unless you are in the city I suppose, there are no pretentious hipsters. Everyone I’ve met from the […]

The Heartbreak

I know, she isn’t actually asking where he is, but go with it. I have taken a couple more artventures, unfortunately, I haven’t had time to edit the photos. Equally as unfortunate, by “have time” I mean, I really hate editing photos so I avoid it. I’m still in the […]

Where far art thou, Gypsy Lady?

July 26, 2015 in Nomad Life by Elisha

Warning: This post contains several variations of the word ass. This week’s outing was not really what I had in mind. I never considered doing a movie for one of these, but since we are here… Let’s talk about Mad Max: Fury Road. Photo from GamesRader It takes a lot […]

“Friends ‘Til The End,” watercolor on claybord 11″ x 14″ ©ElishaDasenbrock $250 I’m really happy with the way this turned out. It’s larger than I’ve done recently so I was a bit nervous. I’ll have a hard time letting it go. I’ve considered keeping it for a while, but the whole point […]

Friends ‘Til The End

June 3, 2015 in Art tagged boy / boy and dog / dog / Painting / palette / Watercolor / watercolour by Elisha

I have decided for the sake of inspiration and over-all enjoyment of life, I will venture to a new place each week. I think I underestimated how involved travel blogging was. It has been a bit overwhelming for me so I’ve just avoided it. However, part of the joy of […]

Missouri Botanical Gardens

Although my lack of painting has been due to a block and no small part some depression, I have decided to come up with a few rules for when I start painting again: 1. A painting a day M-F* 2. Start painting by 10am. 3. If I don’t paint, look […]

Rules

May 11, 2015 in Business by Elisha

January was amazing! Being an artist felt like I always thought it should. Then February hit and I decided to focus on the children’s book I’ve been trying to finish for 5 years. A book I love and completely support. But something about it just causes me to shut down. […]

Artist Block With A Book Review

May 10, 2015 in Art / Links tagged artist block / book review / carol marine / daily painting by Elisha

There is actually downside. I know, I couldn’t believe it either. No matter where I go I miss where I’ve been. I’m so happy to spend time with my family. I was so pleased to know I was going to see them and be able to have hilarious conversations and […]

The Downside To The Nomadic Life

April 6, 2015 in Nomad Life tagged Dogs / homesick / running / travel by Elisha

I think not. I left Apalach Saturday night. I didn’t want to leave, but circumstances said otherwise. Or so I thought. I took my last yoga class (until I go back) and then I headed over to the gallery to paint outside for the town’s art walk. I had a […]

Coincidence?

I finally tried oysters on Sunday. I figure being in the oyster capital of the world, one should at least give it a shot. Of course, they were lightly baked with bacon, collard greens, and lemon juice. I also had some alligator empanadas. This was all at Up The Creek. […]

Richard and Michael fixed my alternator! I even learned a thing or two. They wouldn’t take money and when I tried to take them out to lunch they ended up buying me lunch. They also gave me a ride to the Good Will and waited for me instead of just […]

Alternator, schmalternator

February 21, 2015 in Links / Nomad Life tagged alternator / full time rv / links / RV life / rv repair by Elisha

I met some really cool people today. It doesn’t hurt that they live full-time in an RV with 3 dogs and feel the same way about the normal rat race as I do. Essentially, they are what I wanted to be when I started out on this nomadic quest. Also, […]

Still Photoless

I don’t know about you, but my day is starting off rather magical. Not only is the weather gorgeous and I have beautiful roses, I saw a dolphin. In a river. Twice. Of course, there are no pictures because the coolest things only happen when my phone is dead. I […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2015 in Nomad Life / RV by Elisha

For January, I painted 19 paintings. Whew. Only 2 were completely awful, in my opinion. It was exhausting and I look forward to beating that record the next time the challenge comes around. A couple things I learned: It is really difficult to find something to paint after the 10th […]

I was so excited to get my card reader in the mail yesterday! I took a lot of photos and started editing them. As a break and a treat for the dogs, we all went to the dog park. Unfortunately, things got a little sketchy after that. The RV wouldn’t […]

One Step Forward….

Technology has me beat, but not for long. I’m waiting for a new card reader so I can share images of my 30 paintings in 30 days. I should get it on Saturday. I just remembered I have a scanner and if I can get it to work, I may […]

Technology has me beat,

Today, after checking out several new artists on the 30 in 30 challenge I headed over to the art gallery to wrap up the work on my paintings. As I left the were being beautifully arranged by Leslie, the owner. While I was there we worked on adding me to […]
