Yesterday I was able to finish up the watercolor painting on the four “Life Simplified” pieces.
Of course, I couldn’t resist going a bit colorful. It’s just my nature!
I did however do only flat colors with minimal shading because I’m going to be writing all over them.
Thus, no need for too much detail.
That being said, here’s a peak at them all colorful like.
Just for fun I’ve added the black outline for a before and after comparison Continue reading “New Series: “Life Simplified” Part two”
So I’m still unemployed. J says I should take advantage of this time to focus my creative energies into my artwork. So, that’s what I’m attempting to do. I’ve started a new series called “Life Simplified.” I’ve been doing alot of painting lately and thought I’d take a breather from my bold acrylic colors and try some softer watercolor shades. (Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Acrylic, I just feel like something a bit mellower right now)
That being said, remember the “Hold Me” series I did in Japan?
Well, I really liked #3 in that series and have decided to do a spin off of it.
So on Sunday, we went out art supply shopping (my favorite type of shopping!!!). I bought art supplies and my husband bought a terabyte portable hard drive…this year’s anniversary theme was flowers, fruit or an appliance…we both rationalized that a portable hard drive has to constitute as an appliance…right? 😛 Continue reading “New Series: “Life Simplified””
Well, I finished it.
My first commission is now complete. Currently, it’s an unnamed 8” x 10” painting.
See the problem is, I haven’t decided if I like it. Yes I know, if you’ve been following along to this blog at all you’ll say “Yeah, but that’s what you always say after finishing a piece.” And it’s true, but this time I really mean it, honest!
I asked my husband and he reassures me it’s nice, but I’m still doubtful.
So what do you think? Continue reading “Commission Completed-Monarch’s Touch”
This is a piece I did back in 2005.
It’s an old guitar I got as a Christmas present one year when I was feeling especially ambitious.
I thought it would be a good idea to discover my hidden musical talents.
However, once I realized I couldn’t just pick it up and play I decided musical talents were overrated.
