Self Portrait with Mirrors

8" diameter

Ok, so I posed my favorite mirrored marble *on* a mirror, and just kindof went from there into a strange and intricate world.

Sometimes....

Sometimes a painting just doesn't get any love, but you're proud of it and enjoy it. And maybe I won't be painting any more Bone Tea pieces, but I am definitely enjoying having this monster up in my living room!

Continuing with the silliness. I'm thinking I should go on my redbubble and make it so this series can be purchased on greeting cards or something, what do you think?

The Red Couch

5"x7"
sold

Well here is something completely outside of my comfort zone, especially for a daily! The light was so wonderful I just couldn't resist, and now I'm trying to decide if my endlessly layered brushstrokes make it all more tangible or just feel confused....

Basset with a Pearl Earring

Tonight I needed something I could just sit down and paint, not have to do any deep thinking or funky problem solving.... Vermeer helpfully did all the thinking and problem solving for me on this one, I just tweaked it a teensy bit!

So working on The Shy Ones left me making this odd little sketch, which led to something else wonderful and interesting!

I thought I was done with this painting, took some photos and everything.... decided to go back in to correct some of the edges, and the phthalo blue kindof took over. And then the highlights got more enthusiastic. And now I love the drama of it all, it's all so vivid!
