Creativity is switched ON

Ever have those nights where you’re laying in bed and you have something come to mind and you KNOW that if you don’t get up that instant and write it down it’ll be gone in the morning.

That happens to me ALL the time. I don’t know how many nights I have scribbled on a piece of paper in the dark hopping by morning I’ll understand what the heck it was I wrote down.

Well last night I didn’t have my idea book by the bed SO after Blinding myself with my cell phone I typed my thoughts out on my notepad.

What were they? It had to do with my Genesis Tree of Knowledge painting and I’d tell you my ideas for the piece but as they say “Spoilers Darling”.

Needless to say I went back to working on it tonight and though I didn’t work on the really exciting bits I did block in my next layer.

Transforming the painting from this:

Into this

It may not seem like much but Trust me It’s all Clear now!

Prior to my epiphany last night I worked on a few earrings for my new jewelry line I’ll be starting.

If you know me at all then you’ll know it was the Bright bold colors that sold me lol

My love for color extends beyond my artwork.

Though oddly enough I still love my jeans and a black T lol

Anyway enough chattering for tonight.

Cheers,

Quick Update

As you may or may not know, I’ve been doing some research for a new painting.

I don’t want to say too much  just yet because I’ve only finished the preliminary sketches for the piece but, I will tell you that is based on Genesis

and will be painted on a 48″x48″ sized canvas assuming I have no problem getting it shipped.

You’ll have to wait for more details.

Cheers,

Amanda

Pierced

I wasn’t planning on posting anything this evening but, I started working on this piece after work and finished it in a few hours.

I figured I may as well share it since it’s finished.

I’ve titled it “Pierced”.

I could try to give you this long and no doubt disjointed explanation on the symbolism etcetera, but I’ve never been the best with words.

Instead, I’ll just let the piece speak for itself and leave it at that.
