Goodbye Christmas

Sometimes it's very hard to part with a painting. This one especially. But now it has a new home where I trust it will be loved.

Finished!

The pillow for your sofa that matches the painting that goes with your sofa

And here it is hanging at SOMArts

Completed!

 Only 11 months of my life! Will make a great tapestry once the pros block it for me.

80's style duel portrait

This is the portrait of my friend's baby and dog and I have started and am hoping to complete in time. She wants the 80s style double exposure portrait (see example below). Starting very light, but then again my pencil drawings never photo well for the blog.

More abstract needlepoint

This is a project from the back-burner. A needlepoint created by printing my painting Russian Dolls onto mesh. Enough with the painting for the day!

Revisit

Sometimes I have to change things up. Like this painting. I no longer like it. So it's getting a redo.

Orange you glad?

Today's piece is going to be just my favorite colors. I was reading about Egyptian Blue on wikipedia (fascinating, it and Han Purple are to 2 first synthetic pigments) so that's where I started. I predict this'll get a lot uglier before we're thru.

Apologies for the pictures, the wood panel is 36"x48" and hard to photo on my easel.
