Something different for me.... this is a big part of why I like doing art festivals. Stuff like this comes out when I'm trying to get ready for one!

Blue Peahen in Pearls
sold
So blogspot seems to have fixed the worst of its picture problems.... I'm still thinking about shutting the blog down anyways. Just *thinking* about it, now that the pic problem is solved, blogspot is still terribly screwy but.... ok, if you come to the blog and lurve it, let me know. If I'm reaching people, then it's totally worth doing!
Otherwise, I'll waffle for a nice long while, and then I'll make sure to share my facebook/instagram/twitter info.

Night

*sigh*
Blogspot is apparently "automatically enhancing" my photos and completely ruining them. And being screwy in other ways too. I tried wordpress and had some trouble figuring things out.... doesn't seem very painting-friendly either. Any other ideas? Other than just bailing on the blog entirely and sticking to facebook or instagram or something :-/

Stalking
sold
It's the darndest thing, I swear that the pictures of my paintings look worse here on my blog than they do anywhere else on the whole internet, and I don't understand it!
Anywho. Creepy wildlife cam-y daily paintings again. This one makes me happy.

Ok, definitely in getting-ready-for-Whimsical-Women mode! And now my studio smells mysteriously of pickles. I think I'll light a stick of incense and keep working.

Fox and Prey

Kindof a value study, kindof not, since we tend to loose colors at night.... painted from a wildlife cam flash photo, which is an idea that REALLY intrigues me. More exploration to come, for sure!

Ok, I'm happy with her! Again. Now.
*sigh*
I don't know if I love or hate the paintings that I keep coming back to again and again to tweak and play with!

Do you ever get the feeling that you're following your own mind a little too far down the rabbit hole?

Fruit Tart

Still playing with familiar themes, but with my new focus on edges.... I like how the shininess really comes out on this one. And the way the kiwi slice glows :)

Iris Sketch

Still experimenting with edges.... I think that experimenting with edges means that I will love some parts of a painting and really not love others. Strange.

Cat Skull on White

Soft edges make me happy.... and backlighting is so very tricky to pull off, but when I do get it right, it makes me very happy too. That kindof glowy thing....

Beautiful sunny Saturday, painting some fruit.... and about to literally unplug my internet for the rest of the day because I have a lot more painting to get done!

The edges got away from me a little bit with this one, but I'm in love with the light and the subject matter! Yay, springtime...

Just a beautiful girl.... sometimes you see something beautiful and a little different, and it needs to be painted!

Broken Shell

A beautiful little shell, still experimenting with lost and found edges, detail in some places and none at all in others.... and a beautiful thin halo of blurred paint around the whole. Thinking of summer.
