I can't seem to take a good photo of this one but I'm really loving how she turned out. From my 25 days of minis collection. "Vesna in the field" #art#painting
This one is of Dido, except I didnt want her pining over aeneas. I wanted her to get over him and find herself again. I mean she was a queen after all. She had a lot more going for her than a man. For my 25 days of minis collection.
Yay! Another little 8 x 8 done for the minis this year. With this one i really tried to play with complementary colors. I love to use deep violets with a variety of yellows. You'll see this one soon in ym 25 days of minis. #art#veil#portrait#jewelry#middleeastern
Want to come check out my work? Come see me at the art fair on the square in Madison wisconsin this weekend. My booth is 160! #artfair#art#madison#wisconsin
Work in progress. It's always a great feeling when you've dug yourself out of the "believe in your vision" phase. #art#butterfly#nature#figure#painting
It's taking its own swert time but I'm not sure about the pattern in the curtains. I guess I'll play with it a little tomorrow. I'm all painted out for today and going to our down the brush because I'm overthinking everything.
Keeping on keeping on. When I work large, I cab sometimes get very fatigued by the painting or i box myself into a corner. But I am finally happy with the direction this is going. #art#artist#artwork#boudoir#figurativeart#figure
What work am I progressing on right now without finishing the large painting? This one lol. This week is full of my fun ones before I finish the larger painting.
While I put in the finishing touches of the commission I picked up a painting i was working on a while ago. I had put it away because I had no idea what to do with the background but I think I have a good plan this time. Stay tuned!
"Persian rose" 11 x 14. One of my favorite pigments I have on my palette is persian rose. I use it so much in skintone and to bring some life to the painting. So I painted a bunch of roses next to my subject and i used persian rose in the highlights.
Sometimes i paint myself into a corner and have to do something else to come back with a fresh perspective. So i painted this 8 x 10. Untitled. #art#bellydance#middleeastern
Here she is done! The background has a lot of texture and color in it actually, and while the camera doesn't pick it up as much, when you look deeper it really stands out. 16 x 20 inches.
