Just a quick post tonight. This is a fun little mixed media I created on board. I am needing to create very relaxed and free art at the moment so you will probably see a lot of mixed media over the next week. Once I get this out of my system, I will be ready to jump back through the looking glass into Wonderland and paint Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
I needed to paint something completely different today. I haven't painted an angel for so long and being close to Christmas it seemed fitting. It also represents the journey I have been on over the past year.
Last New Years I made a decision to make some serious changes to my life. I decided to go back to study and commit myself 100%, which has resulted in my gaining a full time appointment for the 2010 school year and so many other possibilities in my future. If I hadn't taken that leap of faith, none of these wonderful things would have come into my life.
Take Flight is available on Etsy.
Here is my interpretation of the Cheshire Cat, number 3 in my Through the Looking Glass series. She is available on Etsy , along with prints and cards.
Now, I have been busy for the past week getting ready for the Manjar Markets which are held every Sunday over summer in my city. Very nervous as I have never shown my art in person but also very excited about the prospect. I am currently getting some cute pieces of furniture ready to use as displays and I will post some photos of my preparation next week.
I am now on summer vacation for the next two months so I am hoping I will have lots of art to share with you. So until next time..
I like to think the Queen of Hearts could have a softer side when she is alone in the rose garden. This is the second painting from my 'Through the Looking Glass' series.
Available on Etsy: Queen of Hearts.
As I mentioned, I am having a huge clean out of my studio to make way for more art. I have listed all of my originals on paper starting at $5.00 AU with FREE POSTAGE.
Grab a bargain for xmas: Witchetty Auctions.
I spent the morning in my studio and made a good solid start to the Queen of Hearts.
I have been having a clean out of my studio and I have listed a few of my older works on Ebay. They have been listed for about what they would cost to ship internationally and have free shipping. If you want to pick up an original for a bargain, you can visit my auctions:
This is a little 8 x 10 mixed media on canvas. It was really fun to create some boys art and I think this little guy will feature again.
Yesterday I had a day off work and I made myself forget about the washing and endless chores around the house and get into my studio to finish Alice. My life seems to be a balancing act of late, always trying to get everything done so that I can spend some time creating. Please forgive some of my lapses in the blogging world lately, I will eventually get the hand of working full time and still find time for my art.
Alice can be found in my etsy store: here.
I think she is coming along nicely and I have really enjoyed painting this piece. As I have mentioned in the past I am really challenging myself to put more into my paintings and I am pleased with the results. I just need to finish her hair and the white rabbit and I think she will be finished.
I have a really busy couple of days ahead of me, so I will be back at the end of the week with the finished painting.
