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

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, Drawings, Paintings, Uncategorized

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!

Pop Art Eve

by Amanda, posted in Artist, digital art, Paintings, Uncategorized, Wacom/Tablet

I want to start off by saying I love pop art.

Some of my favorite artists were part of the pop art movement. (Lichtenstein being at the top of my list.)

I think it’s the bright colors that pull me in, (in case you haven’t notice I tend to use a lot of color in my work).

That being said, tonight’s piece is another friend tribute.

I loved her new profile picture and had to swipe it.

I’ve been staring at it for probably months now trying to decide how to approach it.

I even did a version in marker (simplified colors like my yelling man) but it just didn’t turn out right.

I didn’t want to loose any of the subtleties of the picture so tonight I decided I’d do a Warhol inspired version of her.

The thing is, I couldn’t decide on which color scheme to go with. I think both suit her personality.

I guess I’ll let you decide which you like better. (Of course Eve gets the final say as to which (if either) is the better one 🙂 )

Here she is,  “Eve” pop art  version 1 & 2

Old and New “Echoed Thoughts”

by Amanda, posted in Abstract, digital art, Paintings, Uncategorized, Wacom/Tablet

I was going through my old pieces and came upon this painting I had given to my sister as a birthday/Christmas present

(I can’t remember which) back in 05. So I thought what the heck I’ll play around with it.

(If you’re curious the original was based off of a similar image I liked though for the life of me and I can’t remember what lol)

So here is the original:

Aurora Sky

by Amanda, posted in Drawings, Paintings, Uncategorized, Wacom/Tablet

Good Evening,

I found myself looking at Aurora Borealis photos today and thought what the heck I’ll give it a whirl.

As per the norm lately I did this piece using Painter X and free handed it on my Wacom tablet.

I decided to go with a semi-impressionistic approach.

I’m not usually one for landscapes but I loved the Aurora colours.

So here you have it.
