<b>Acrylic Art by B Hymer</b><br />
<br />
I gathered photos of some of my past works because I wanted to create a video of them. I let the first two images stay on longer because there is more detail.<br />
I found out you could load photos and create a video complete with music right on YouTube for free. To find out more I watched a few videos about it. Two of them were <a href="http://youtu.be/OV0tqJ6qAjE" target="_blank">How to Create a YouTube Slideshow by Martin Brossman</a> and How to Create a Slideshow on <a href="http://youtu.be/oqJNToYc4cA" target="_blank">YouTube With Music by Peggy Duncan.</a><br />
If you would like to try to make a slideshow of your own, put the images you want in a folder on your PC. Make sure you know where it is located so you can find it easy. Some people put the folder on their desktop. Make sure you share your video with me I would love to see it.<br />

We had a booth at the 4-h Dog Expo. Katie and Albert was a big help. Chuck took lots of doggy photos. Albert was talked into being the Easter Bunny.

April first at the Paws For Art event by Wheaton Arts and the Cumberland County SPCA.<br />
I have to give caricature artist a lot of credit. I love doing it but I need to gain some speed. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151461243965541.832108.16737765540&type=3" target="_blank">My Paws For Art Album</a><br />
<br />
I would love to know who the people and dogs are in the photo albums, so feel free to tag them if you know. And if it's you give me a shout.<br />

Each year it brings back fond memories when we hang the ornaments of some pets that are no longer with us. Add a dogs name across the bone and a photo can share the front or be placed on the back. Play around with the settings to create a great gift.<br />

Trips to the beach earned us some great beach and wave shots. Of coarse a wave is no good without horses running through them. These horses belong to my sister. You may have seen Ziggy in my past paintings and T-shirt designs. The mares following him are Annie and Dixie.<br />
<br />
I love art with horses in it. So do other people.<br />
These three horses and the wave are on a persona in Firefox. It grew to over 21 thousand active users in a few months.<br />

Also this digital painting is in Fine Art America with other horse paintings.<br />

I just finished this pet portrait for a friend at work. <br />
I thought it would be nice to put my paintings there. It's a cool site to try different options with frames, mats, canvas and paper. Also you can make the paintings into custom cards.<br />

Another of my digital painting in Fine Art America. I bought this one as a wrap-around canvas to check them out. I was pleased. It was shipped well padded, ready to hang.<br />

Red Dahlia<br />
<br />
I don't paint flowers, and I don't like the color red, much. So I don't know why I had to paint these. But they were the first of many dahlias that bloomed in our garden this year. I did enjoy painting them. Who knows, it may be the start of something new for me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02840255253005482356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434357782339339301.post-48766092230055572182009-06-08T14:16:00.000-07:002011-10-15T15:27:41.032-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My daughter drew this bee when she was in second grade. I saved it for years and thought how cute it would be on a T-shirt. <br />

Zazzle printed <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/katie_bee_tshirt-235468114566244193">this onesie</a> that just happens to be on my granddaughter. I left the text off because you can add your own text at Zazzle.com <br />
You can add text to much of artwork there at Zazzle to create your very own shirt even if you can't draw. I'm just getting started there but please stop by and check out my <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/bhymer">new store</a>.<br />
There are so many places and so many ways to sell your art online. I loved the way CafePress printed T-shirts. So soft and they lasted a long time.<br />
They just took away the artist say in the mark-up, if they want to be in the Market Place. At first I was shocked, how could they do this to us? I spent three years working on designs and my store was starting to earn a nice income, mostly around the holidays. I had all my eggs in one basket. <br />
<br />
So now I am testing some others online places to sell such as Red Bubble, Spreadshirt, Fine Art America and Zazzle. It looks like Zazzle has my attention for now. There is a lot to learn, so I'm reading forums... till I fall asleep. I get a kick out of "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6tEopgKJas">You Suck At Zazzle</a>" on YouTube. LOL.<br />
I have managed to get a few horse designs in my Zazzle store. Oh yea, and one bee design.<br />
Fine Art America is a nice place to sell your art. They print your work and do all the selling and shipping part. But you can sell you original yourself though their sight.<br />
Chuck took the neatest picture of a <a href="http://fineartamerica.com/featured/rose-breasted-grosbeak-barbara-hymer.html">Rose Breasted Gross Beak</a> in our backyard. After some Photo Shop work we loaded it in Fine Art America. We bought a 9x12 with the gallery wrap. I was pleased. It came very well protected ready to hang.<br />

I contacted him about my shop. Come to find out he had a Bearded Collie named Jazz. After he sent me a few pictures, I used PhotoShop to paint a couple of portraits of Jazz. One plain and one with a Santa hat and Candy Cane.</div>
<br />
<div>
I put Jazz on T-Shirts and other cool stuff. I can do this because I joined CafePress and opened a shop there. </div>
<br />
<div>
They look great together. I've been on pin and needles waiting for this day. He did a fine job writing about my shop, Thanks Bryn</div>

I tried a painting program called <a href="http://www.pixarra.com/">PixarraTwistedBrushPro</a>. I asked a fellow artist who used many different painting programs,which would she pick, if she could only have one. She then told me about Pixarra TwistedBrush. I never heard of it so I looked it up on the Internet. Wow! It is so much less money then the others. O.K. cheaper. There is even a free version to try it for yourself, before you buy. I am very pleased with it. At first,I just played around with it instead of reading the how to instructions. Ha ha, don't we all. Check out "Ziggy," pictured above. But I went back and did look them over. That's when I found out the many features that I just bought. It's going to be even harder to leave the computer now. My poor family! <br />
<br />So if you've been wanting a paint program, but been put off by the high prices, check TwistedBrush out. The community is very helpful, and a great place to learn. No excuses now, so get painting! Look me up if you join the community, say hello or send me a friend invite. <br />
<br />Oh yea... Ziggy is my sisters stallion, Verse Aspen Ziggy is his name. He is a paint stallion in South Jersey. He loves people, and he loves posing for photos. When she gets a good one she send it to me, "to keep me inspired," she says. I just think she loves the free artwork and gifts, but we won't tell her that.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02840255253005482356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434357782339339301.post-69764566796762477112008-07-08T04:51:00.000-07:002011-10-15T14:10:44.560-07:00Brandi And Annie Bonanza Going To States<br />

When someone spends many hours working with an animal, they can form a hard to beat partnership. Sometimes we are lucky enough to know such a hard working pair. I know Brandi Engle, a girl with a wonderful pony named Annie Bonanza. A few years ago I lived next door and saw them working together daily. She is my niece and I am so proud of her. I ask my sister, to give me some details of their progress. And a very proud mother wrote...Brandi Engle and her horse Annie Bonanza, through hard work and a "never give up" attitude has earned them both the honor of representing Cumberland County at the NJ state horse show in August. They will be competing against the top riders in each county in several events. It will be their first try at states in Western Pleasure Pony and English Pleasure Pony. They will be in all 4 of the gaming events also. The Key Hole Race, The Bow Tie race, Pole Bending and Barrel Racing all of which the pair had previously competed in before at the state horse show. She plans to continue to ride this summer to keep Annie in tip top condition." Way to go Brandi and Annie!<br />

A few years ago they inspired one of my T-shirt designs, <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/bhymer/1591156">Summer Days</a>.” <br />
Girls and horses sharing a special kind of “First Love” is one of my favorite inspirations for art. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02840255253005482356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434357782339339301.post-9230946040750249172008-05-18T14:38:00.000-07:002011-10-16T02:02:01.411-07:00You Can't Make a Living From Horses!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: arial;">For as long as I can remember, horses have been the love of my life. My Mom knew this and showered me with horse gifts at Christmas and for my birthday. We couldn't afford the real thing but I collected plastic horses, read horse books, watched horse movies on TV, copied horse art, colored horse coloring books, and painted those paint by number things. When I played with kids outside, I was always the horse hitched to a wagon. I was a proud horse with long flowing main falling in my face as I arched my neck (the best a human can do) and pulled happily.<br /><br />Growing up in this unreal world made me happy. Then one day my third grade teacher assigned book reports to the class permitting everyone except me to pick their own subject. She told me I was not to read a horse book. I can still hear her words " You cannot make a living from horses!" she went on to say. I didn't argue, I just read a dog book, my second love. I don't remember much of my childhood but I never forgot those sad words.<br /><br />I got my first horse as an adult. I soon realized how wrong she was. Here was a whole bunch of people making a descent income in the horse world. Starting with the dealers, blacksmiths, vets, boarders, feed stores, tack shops and on and on. Some people get into breeding, showing or racing which makes more income, well... for some. Lol.<br /><br />As it turned out my love of horses remained with me. I began designing<br /><a href="http://bhymer.com/">horse T-shirts. </a>Each time I sell a horse shirt it makes me happy to see my teacher was so wrong. Our youth should be fun and full of happy memories. I have had good kind teachers in my life also. They are the ones I learned the most from and have the fondest memories of.<br /><br />I rode most of my adult life. I took friends riding and did pony rides at festivals. I even breed a mare and raised a racehorse named Blue Relic. He won three races, including the last race ever run at the Garden State Race track. More then the money, horses have enriched my life with trail rides, camping, showing, breeding, photography and painting them. Often I'd take my coffee outside in the cool morning air, and listen to them munching their breakfast. Even cleaning pens is like a therapy. The best therapy ever.</span></div>
