I know it says completed...but sharing my works in progress, helps me to be sure and finish. Although with the star fairy, I definitely will, as its a gift for my niece. The other painting is one for Illustrationfriday. com, which I try and contribute to as much as possible. The theme for thlast week was "blue" The painting is titled "Blue interaction"

"Star Fairy" Acrylic on canvas..WIP. I know there are issues that need fixed..and darn if she doesn't need a face.

I painted an old candy box, and hot glued buttons and my kid's plastic beads to it. I wanted fun, silly, and colorful..and a flat box to make it easy to stick in my backpack, so I can have a sketchbook and pencils with me all the time.

all are watercolor or acrylic watered down and india ink, on watercolor paper.

"Aging"


"Black Bubbles"


"Roots"

A shoe box was used, and I printed various photos of people kissing after toning them a sepia color in photoshop. I primed the box and lid with gesso, then painted it with burnt umber artists acrylics, then using collage glue, applied the cut out pictures. Then I put two more coats of the collage glue( watered down some) over the whole thing. I have some rather large jewelry, stainless steel, and leather collars and I use stuff like wallet chains for necklaces, so I use this for my jewelry.

A couple of stools that I spray painted red this past spring..then painted with artists acrylics last weekend, when I had the flu...
So, maybe not my best painting, but I like em.
They are "fishy" and "sour puss"..you can probably guess who is who. I have a slight obsession with fish...( moons, cats, snakes, and hummingbirds too.)

I dont want to over do on the picture posting, so I limited it to 3. I can recall those slow dial up days, and how long alot of graphics would take to load. ok..here's a few.

"For my Mother"(A portrait of my Father )


"Elephant"


"Wisdom"


Just picked at random...not necessarily my best or favs...although I'm liking the elephant alot lately. I made it into a light switch cover, with sticker paper and my printer.

Hi, I'm new and decided wht the heck..I'll not be too shy and go ahead and post some stuff. So, first post...a mosaic I completed for my children to step on to get to the ladder for their slide. I have tons of these old irregular stones/blocks from a renovated pond. Lets hope I get it to work right.


ok...the preview worked..whew...
