September 30-in-30 Challenge – Day 6
Well, I’ve been hinting about this one and here it is. As I described it to my husband – “It fell from the ugly tree and hit all the branches on the way down.” He promptly said he liked it, LOL! Go figure. I was trying for something like a nebula or a galaxy.. bright, […]

Went back to what I’d been doing before – layering paint onto paper. I really should come up with a name for these paintings, because they are definitely done in the same theme/technique/style/whatever and are more than just abstracts. Only 5 days into the challenge and I’ve noticed something – I’m on a green kick, […]

Day 4 (which was actually done on day 2.. gotta love working ahead!) is a revisiting of sorts of day 1. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have started in with the ink on my day 1 piece, but I did and while I’m not thrilled with how it turned out, I do like it overall. Today’s […]

So I actually started this piece on day 1 and finished it late on day 2, but it’s for day 3. Go figure. I also completed day 4 but that gets it’s own post. 🙂 So for this piece I honestly had an idea and a plan of what I wanted to do. What I […]

As I said yesterday, I had day 2’s painting done already, but I want to try posting these on the appropriate days. I need to get a better photo of this one, the bottom of the piece is too dark, but it’s late here and I don’t want to stay up too much longer. I […]

And thus begins my next foray into Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I feel like I’ve gotten off to a rough start but I’m sure that’ll work itself out soon. For day 1, I think I should have left well enough alone and just had the background, instead of adding the ink. […]

Happy Sunday, folks! Right now I’m in a good mood because game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals is tomorrow night and here’s hoping the Blackhawks win it at home! Oh, and I have some art and writing to share as well from the past two weeks. Storytime first – I’ve finished two “new” fanfiction […]
Continue readingState of the Art – Week 20
Hey, two weeks in a row! I’m on a roll! And I realized that my idea of time when working on a painting is skewed. I was finishing up today’s piece and thought to myself “This didn’t take too long” but then I looked at the clock and realized I’d been working for almost 2 […]
Continue readingState of the Art – week 19
Seeing as my last State of the Art was back in week 8, I’ve disappeared from updating here for over 2 months. Pathetic. It’s not that I haven’t created any art in that time, but a fair amount was spent in an art funk of some sort that I’ve finally decided to just push through. […]
