Work In Progress

I have been sidetracked lately and unable to focus on art or much else for some reason. But I feel like I'm back in business. Sometimes you just have to step away from what you are doing. Here is something I'm working on now. It's a painting and has a few more hours of work before its completed. I had a different color scheme going and maybe that is what put me off. The colors were not working together and it was taking entirely too many layers for my gold paint to look, well, like gold. So I opted to forgo the gold paint and instead am using a bright poppy red. I think I'm pleased with how this is shaping up now. Here is a little corner of the painting... let me know what you think!

A sort of etsy mystery and some mustard and ketchup

So I guess I missed it. This painting (above) had more than doubled its views in one day! I am assuming it made it to the front page.... and I am SO glad it did! This is one of my favorite paintings. I keep it on my fake fireplace mantle in my apartment. That's where I keep the paintings I am favoring the most (at the moment)!



At the top of the fireplace are two paintings my boyfriend likes because they remind him of Wonder Woman and he has a thing for her. He also refers to them as mustard and ketchup. I have to agree with him this time...

Eyeball vibrations

I have been working hard on this painting for some time now and have mixed feelings about it. I love using gouache, its matte, looks chalky/velvety, dries super quickly and the colors are really saturated. I also like how it looks sort of like origami paper. Well it still needs some touch ups before its finished. I think I'll step away from it for a day or so and then I'll be able to look at it with fresh eyes.
