Been Awhile!

Apologies for the unexpected hiatus! My laptop got sick and stayed sick for two whole months! But I'm back, baby, and I'm showing off some art I've worked on lately. Please look forward to some new posts in the near future.

Last week's project: a family tree mural. About 7 hours total. 15 feet wide, 8 or 9 feet tall. 

A commissioned piece for a newly opened hair salon. About 4 feet wide, 3 feet tall.

Tell me, what have I missed??? What's going on with you? :)

Just a Lil' Rose Sitta'

Well, this weekend was a bit of a bust as far as art-making goes, but I think I made up for it with this little painting. I painted this yesterday morning while hanging out in the studio. 

Getting my Sketch On!

Yesterday I spent most of my art time working on a few sketches. Then I started thinking about early animation and how much I loved watching Looney Tunes an Merrie Melodies as a child. Next thing I know I was on Wikipedia researching the Top 50 Cartoons. I never really know where I'll end up when I start working on artwork! 

 

It's October!

In an effort to get back into blogging, I've decided to challenge myself to make art every day in October! This idea came from tracibunkers.com and I'm looking forward to where this challenge may take me.

Of course, right after I decide to do this, my computer gets some weird virus and is need of repair. So  it looks like I'll only be posting Instagram photos for awhile.

Here's what I have to show for the first three days of October:

Commission: Watercolor Portrait

Last week an Etsy customer asked if I could do a portrait of her sister in Day of the Dead costume. While I don't think I'm an amazing portrait artist, I do welcome a challenge. I sent the client a sketch, she approved, and I started painting! 

I have to mention that this has been one of the easiest commissions I've ever worked on. She was so accepting to my ideas and responded to every question within moments. This was such a positive piece to work on!

If you'd like to commission me for artwork, feel free to contact me!
