New Series: “Life Simplified”

by Amanda, posted in Art, commission, Drawings, For Sale, Life, Series, Uncategorized

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”” →

A few days, a few weeks…who’s counting

Alright, alright so my “I’ll be posting in the next couple of days” turned into a few weeks.

If you think that’s bad, my husband always complains that my “just a minute” turn into hours… 😛

But it’s ok, because I’m here and you’re here and that’s all that matters, right!

Before I jump back into “the while I was gone art” I should give you another heads up that we’re moving again.

Yup, yippee, *groan* I am so sick of packing/unpacking. I’m living out of cardboard boxes and as fitting as that is for a struggling artist, I’m not really digging it. Anyways, we’ll be moving to Edmonton at the end of the month so brace yourself for more sporadic posting until I’m settled again.

Enough of the chatter on with the art!

Essence

Good Evening,

Just thought I’d share with you my newest piece.

It’s approx. 10” by 10” and was done using my tablet.

Not sure why, but for some reason I wanted to call it “Essence of being”

So here you go.
