Show 6 lufcscljy Lakeside 3. 19tt8 Give your house were some Danish of our family that down the street when I was growing up. Every Christmas they would decorate their home with holiday trimmings from their homeland. One of the decorations I loved the most were the hundreds of lively elves pasted all over the walls throughout the house. Each one was completely different and I would spend hours looking at each happy face. Holidays are wonderful family traditions and Valentines Day is itmong the favorites. Give your home a heart attack just like the elves from our Danish friends. Take hearts of all sizes, shapes, colors, and styles and paste them all over the doors walls, cupboards, and even furniture. Use mounting putty so as not to harm a valentine heart attack house. There Decorating B With Ann M. Ann. Mallory Columnist Calico, dots and stripes Take posterboard and about half a yard of fusible webbing, and the same amount of calico, small dotted print, or stripe in Valentine colors.

A lot of students get discouraged because they have one or two unsuccessful pieces of artwork, said Colvin. You need to keep trying until you excel. You might not have all the talent the person next to you has, but if you believe in yourself, you can be as good as the person with more talent. Why? The person with more talent might not work as hard and you can pass them up. Colvin has indeed passed up many ; artists. He enjoys the business end of art as well as the art itself. I'm my own boss and I dont have anyone I'm accountable to. Im grateful to be able to make a living at something 1 enjoy and the freedom to choose my profession. The flexibility of working at your own pace is what brought Colvin back from Boston, where he "struggled for three years" after graduating from USU. I can be with my family more. I love sending the kids olT to school and its great when they come home. He and wife, Suzanne, have six children. Despite the peaceful lifestyle of living in a relatively small town, staying on task when you own your own business is vital. I dont have an agent, I work on "my own. That way I can dictate more of what 1 want to do and have more control, he said. In addition to advertising in the major illustrators publications, Colvin is excited about the new busi- -. ness he does in gymnastics classes FARMINGTON - Farming-to- n City Recreation and North Davis Gymnastics is offering gymnastics classes on Saturdays from 10 to 10:45 a.m. k class for ages 5 The and older starts Feb. 14.

RECREATION BRIEFS - Layton City Lakeside, Review illustrations. My work used to pile up in the closet, but in 1991 stock illustration companies were born. The companies purchase second rights. I sell only First reproduction rights of my work and then resell second or other rights. Its a good source of income depending on the artist's style. Mine fits well into general illustration work. My paintings with people and icons can be used in different situations or in different ways, he said. I like having the freedom to be more versatile, said Colvin, who says that overnight mail and fax machines have made it possible for illustrators to live anywhere. "Some jobs are fun to do, others turn out to be nightmares. A client gets a better piece of artwork if the illustrator can come up with his own ideas and have more freedom. "An artist is a creator, whatever medium he chooses to create his art in, said Colvin, who works chiefly in acrylics because they dry quickly. "I have to work quickly to meet deadlines and I cant wait for oil to dry. Acrylics are like plastic. You can spill on it and just wipe it up and clean it off. In another medium, your work is ruined. When I first started with acrylics I hated them. But like any other medium, you have to leam to use it as a tool and train yourself, mostly by trial and error. I tried oils a couple of weeks ago and it's like learning how to paint again, he said. What docs he think of those who say illustrators are not artists? "People can hate your work or love your work. Art is in the eye of the beholder. There's good art and bad art. Colvins illustrations are on display at Bountiful Davis Art Center, 745 S. Main Street in Bountiful until Saturday. Other decorations Decorations can be as ornate as sequins, glitter or beads and as simple as acrylic paint or red lipstick kisses on white hearts. Iron-o- n designs are simple and permanent. Add more hearts each year and have the designer sign the back for memories years down the road. Ribbon in different patterns Loveless From 5 as the main focal point. At other times, Loveless, who is married with Five children, works from models and videos of the new games. Usually they give me the perimeters, the shape they want, where the type is going to fall, and snippets of the style of type. Sometimes I have a say and sometimes I'm locked in, he said. From sketch to finished products doesn't happen overnight -its long, hard work. When research is involved and historical accuracy needed. Loveless could spend hundreds of hours on a single project. "The Titanic took 186 hours and King Ludvic of Bavaria took 246 hours. By the time I Finished that one I w'as making minimum wage," he said. Illustration is just hard work, Loveless said. You don't have time to start getting in the mood. If youre not in the creative mood, you have to force yourself to do it because you're usually on a deadline, he said. Waiting for inspiration is a luxury. I work better under pressure. Loveless uses acrylics because they are versatile and dry quickly. Two chief tools are a hair dryer on a table near his painting and a mirror set on the side of the easel. "I constantly look in the mirror at the painting to see the project from the opposite direction. I see problems I wouldnt normally. If youre not careful you can work on a project and get hypnotized with the painting when you TWO-SPEE- ' Seniors From 5 There will also be a volunteer book sale from 8 a m. to 5 p m.

I'll go through every emotion when I am doing a big illustration: frustration, pouting, sometimes Ill scream at the painting. By the time I have spent that many hours I'm attached to the painting. Its me. It becomes part of you because you're working on it until the last minute and it's like sending a kid off to school," he said. Loveless hopes some of his children develop an artistic leaning. He remembers his art was different, even in kindergarten. When everyone was painting a single blue line across the top of the page to show the sky, I was painting the sky down and behind the trees, and Ive been drawing ever since," he said. To be good, he suggests young people just draw, draw, draw and keep drawing. When youre young it is hard to explain composition, but drawing can start early. Dont get too serious, experiment and develop good eye-hacoordination until you are confident and competent. 'A lot of people want to get into paints and dont want to get into drawing, but if youre serious, get your drawing ability down. You cant cover a bad design with paint. MliMlV .
