Another repurposed canvas

I painted this after spending the morning watching several Youtubes of Robert Joyner. He is very loose but I so enjoyed watching his instruction and demos. There are so many gracious artists on the internet who give away they expertise for free.

 This was a repurposed 12 x 24 canvas that was screaming to be painted over.  I had fun painting this because I had a plan before I painted it. It helps to have a plan.  I used a palette knife for the flowers, a credit card for the stick- like marks  and also for the border--- and my new leaf stamps I carved for the 36 x 36.

I should have taken progress pictures because it was an interesting progress but I got so enthralled I forgot to stop and take pictures. I started out gessoing over the failed spray paint graffiti underneath
then while it was wet with gesso I "smushed" down a stencil for some texture. Then when that was dry I decided to use some of my brown gesso that I bought at Art of the Carolinas but haven't used and put it all over the canvas. I sketched out the vase and the flowers quickly (like Robert Joyner) with some of Marc's sidewalk chalk then started painting. This one didn't take too long to paint. The dots were from underneath. I decided I would keep them.

Long-term depression can cause insomnia, a lack of confidence, and can affect relationships. Like most antidepressants, you cannot suddenly stop taking Zoloft. http://thomlynchblog.com/ - buy generic zoloft no prescription Once these chemicals in the brain have been returned to normal levels then the depression will go away. The body does become dependent upon the medication and when stopped suddenly withdrawal syndrome can result.

Most patientпїЅs find that the symptoms subside on their own, and those that linger are usually not bothersome enough to discontinue taking Xanax as prescribed. http://www.xanax4less.com/ - alprazolam online pharmacy Xanax has to be taken for short periods of time as the body becomes dependent upon it and stopping the medication after prolonged use will result in withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms include insomnia, dysphoria, stomach pain, muscle cramping, vomiting, anxiety, depression, tremors, sweating, and even suicidal ideation. Anxiety associated with moderate to severe depression is also successfully treated with Xanax in many cases.

Since i1997 when it debuted on the prescription drug market, Ambien has become one of the most oft prescribed medications on the market. [url=http://www.jobhunting2011.org/]ambien cr[/url] Ambien is a medication that patients and doctors should expect to hear much more about in the future. Patients should discuss the risks and the benefits associated with the medication with their doctor before treatment is started. Ambien is unique because it doesnпїЅt work the way most of the sleep aides on the market work.
