Day 10, Subway Stories: Eliot

Today, I finished this painting, Subway Stories: Eliot. I had done the collage background previously, but it had been in a pile of "to finish someday" for a long time. I'm so glad I finished it up! It's the lastest…

Day 9, Night Bird

Today, I did some experimenting with texture and layering. I like the way the blue pops on the black, some of the skirt, some of the texture in the sky. I feel like I could do more futzing around with…

Day 8: Shining a Light

Another piece of intuitive art today. Started with paint, let it dry and came back to see this leaning figure and light. Another symbol that I repeat a lot, the lantern, came up again. I kind of like the mystery,…

Day 6, Traveling Muses in the Forest

Color and Commissions

I am enjoying this color theme so far, how about you? I've been playing with color in paint, in nail polish (purple toes), in colorful salads, and some turquoise clothing.  I thought I'd share a couple commissions that I've been…

Let her Sleep

I saw this Napoleon quote in a variety of places in the last year, on wall decals and a variety of etsy art, including an embroidered piece, sign, and a print. Even though Annabelle has never been one I've had to…
