A series in the works

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

I think these would make cute illustrations for a kids book – I must have been inspired by sweet baby Ava.

Painted on birch wood, all the outlines have been pain-stakingly burned in, acrylic paint, water color pencil, and paper used also.

Moon…

Sun…

I have two more in sketches that need to be painted (when I can get more wood)…. wind and rain.

A teeny tiny bit of art

Monday, October 13th, 2008

I love these mini canvases!  They are so much fun to paint on – but I gotta say – a tiny painting seems to take just as long as a big one.

Capture: Trio of Silver

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

This week’s challenge on the art*essence blog is silver.  I was surprised how little silver I actually have in my studio.  I came up with paint brush ferrels, the handle to my vintage 3 tier dish (that I use as my table ‘catch all”) and my little fan that I love so much.  Are you going to play along too?  We need more players :)

Dreams?

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Isn’t it fun how our day can influfence our dreams?  That happened to my me yesterday/last night.  I was talking and remenissing with a friend who I miss like crazy and in the evening I was uploading Rolling Stone songs to my phone and listening to it as I fell asleep.  I dreamt we were celebrating the sucess of one of his shows and The Stones were playing in the background.  Too funny.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008
I used digital goodies from Shabby Miss Jen to make this layout.

I used digital goodies from Shabby Miss Jen to make this layout.

My fave tools change alot becaue I do mixed-media stuff, but it seems no matter what I’m workng on, I still reah for the same stuff…. my computer to help me research imagery and tweek my photos, my bamboo digital pen for editing/generating images fo my art, my gel medium for sticking it down and adding texture, my paints, graphite penic and brush, and last but not leas-  my trusty water container that I can’t live without.  It originally had some tasty treat from Trader Joes in it, but now it holds my water for painting.  It has a lid which comes in handy when you have silly cats that think it’s fun to drinky ‘painty water’.
