break out the new paints!

This was me, surrounded by my husbands Christmas gift to me. Yup, I got more canvas and paint than I really could comprehend.
Today I am working on a large complicated peony and portrait. Trust me, you'll understand when you see it. Skin tones are super hard. So I broke out the new paints! With some playing around I have found some mixes that will work.
Next month, look here for a new 18x22 painting. It will be like a Christmas surprise.

I am not/ I am

This week I will not be posting photos of paintings on my blog wall. Instead I am painting on the kitchen wall.
I have started "Kitchen makeover 2017". The makeover will eventually include new counter tops, stove, and yes, the kitchen sink.
Tonight I am edging and rolling paint onto my kitchen walls. Trust me, photos of paint drying are not interesting so I will not be posting any.
Please know that I am painting this week! You will be the first see any new paintings. Keep checking this blog & Etsy.

Worship

A friend felt that this man evoked the feeling of worship and suggested doves. Thank you, I tried it and I am pleased with the results.
Attention world: Worshiping God clears you up to feel free, like a bird.

snake eyes here...

...somehow got paint on his tail. That yellow was edging a painting. 

STAY OFF MY WORK TABLE!

Nebula-Green

Yup I'm still fascinated with nebula. This one is based on the infrared emissions of a nebula. What I like about this painting is the depth in the background- the camera doesn't let you see it. This is the third nebula I've painted. I have one more in the works. I'll let you see it as soon as it's finished. Til then, enjoy the art.

3 lioness

Commissioned by a friend as inspiration for her three young daughters. I loved making this piece because it pushed me to do something hard for ladies to whom the future looks hard. I hope it inspires them to be like lioness.
