Artist Bobbi Shaw


 Bobbi Shaw is an independent artist.  She works with the mediums: oil, acrylic and watercolor and paints on all different kinds of canvases and surfaces. Her unique speciality is her leaf paintings, in where she actually paint real leaves with acrylic. Bobbi really has fun with her art and enjoys learning and exploring new opportunities. Most of her painting have come from pictures that I have taken her self but she does paint from models and live once a week with fellow artist, Amy Rims. Bobbi also does commissions.

Some Ideas for Fun A Day Projects

I'm home sick with lots of time to think so I got to thinking about different Fun A Day Projects
  • portrait a day
  • self portrait a day
  • cloud study a day
  • moon study a day
  • paper doll a day
  • painted coffee cup a day
  • granny square a day
  • 1 minute video entry a day
  • poem a day
  • illustrated poem a day
  • record one line of a story a day
  • found object a day 
Those are just a few ideas, I know I have months to go but it's fun to be excited about stuff. Hopefully I can get other artists excited about this as well.
