Slop it on and make it work! . . . that's my go-to motto!

 It's been a busy summer so far what with kids out of school and a summer track and field club (my son not me!) But I've been managing working on some new paintings.  This is what I'm currently working on.  Can't wait to finish!

 Here's the slop in my palette.

 

Here's the make it work part!

My latest painting

 

 "Untitled" until further notice.  24"x 18"

I fell in love with this regalia, so beautiful with intricately woven feathers into the headdress and cape.  With so many of them similar in color, I had to focus on the nuances in each feather to make them come alive visually, as if they weren't already stunning to me! 

Here's some process photos.  :0)

 

 

 

 

Under The Influence 1

 

"Under The Influence 1"

 

I hear Peeps are poised to take over the candy world this year infiltrating the store isles with a variety of flavors and even sizes now!

So, since they want to go even more global. . . this is my take on some guy who put Campbell's Soup cans on the art world map  ;0)

Oh, and Happy Easter everyone! 

"Life Lessons"

 

"Life Lessons"  18" x 24" Watercolor

 

Because at some point in your life, you're just going to have to learn to float!

 

This painting was pretty tricky, never having painted sparkly water let alone submerged/floating people before it created another one of those "what was I thinking" moments.

 

I think my thought process was something like this.  .  What a great image!  I should paint that!, well, maybe not, it looks kinda hard, but then again, it would be a great painting, oh I don't know, I've never done anything like it before, well what better way to learn!, Ok, I'll try it!, I think . . .  maybe after I do some easier paintings. . .oh, I'll just go for it! Ok I'll do it . . wait,  

I'd better stock up on chocolate. . . yeah, chocolate will make this easier.  ;0)

Totes Adorbs

 

"Totes Adorbs"  8"x8" watercolor

 

Here's a more current take on the Sweetheart Candies. . . love notes in the texting/tweeting world!
