More adventures in coloured pencil....

I've managed to create another piece tonight and I'm happy with it. Up until now I had only created my cats using watercolour pencil and I am equeally pleased with the effect using colour pencils. I hope you enjoy it.

Re-discovering a fun way to colour.....

This weekend has marked the end of my three week dry spell. I went to a local supplies store and gave in to my inner child and bought some pencil crayons. Mind you I haven't used them since High-School, but I am extremely happy with the results. I think I'm a little addicted though, as I can't stop creating! Three pieces in just 24 hours. Although that was quite easy as they are all 2.5 inch x 3.5 inch ACEO pieces. There is just so much vividness to the colour and the best part is they can be put down and I don't have to worry about my media drying up on me as paints tend to do. The links leading to each pieces auction listing are directly below each piece. Thank you for looking!

Mischief

Not much has been going on in the creative front regarding painting lately. However I did manage to complete my larger piece earlier this week. It's a 11" x 14" piece painted with Acrylic paints on canvas board.

Mischief

I've titled this piece "Mischief". The jury is still out as to wether or not she has managed to get into the cage.

I haven't listed this piece yet but I do hope to soon. I still have to plan out the shipping method and price. Stay tuned and I'll be sure to post as soon as I have it figured out.

Update on the world of Logan's Meadow

Hello everyone!

A little update for those interested. I am currently on vacation from my full time job, and will be returning to the "working world" next week. I have been trying to keep up with my art in this time. You would think that with all this extra time at home I would have been cranking out the art. While I haven't produced an immense volume of new pieces, this extra time has afforded me the focus to start a much larger piece than I normally attempt.

With the insistance of my husband (my greatest fan), I have started my first 11 x 14 inch piece in acrylic....well my first piece I will attempt to sell. I have made great progress with the piece but I have found one downfall other than time restrictions that the larger works bring with them. I am so detail oriented that I am spending a LOT of time on that one piece. Last year at this time, I would have probably made at least half a dozen ACEO sized pieces. Well, I think in the long run, this will definitely pay off for itself. I am enjoying the larger workspace. Hopefully by the end of the week I can post a preview of the new work.

Stay tuned!
