Happy Green

Well it's been quite awhile. With the holidays approaching and a continous pileup of extra tasks at work I have been too exhausted emotionally and physically to paint. Tonight I sat down and literally forced myself to finish a piece I started weeks ago while I watched tonight's episode of House. Simple. Cute. Not challenging whatsoever, but I'm happy with it. Happy Green....ha ha. Kinda grows on you. I'm not working for most of this week so I'm hoping to sit down some more with my paintbrush in hand and create a few more little pieces like this.

Shrouded Blue

This is another piece created in the last few days. I have just listed it tonight on Ebay. I honestly have no clue whatsoever where in my mind this piece came. Maybe it's me letting go a little of the confusion and anxiety my sleep issues have given me. If this is the case, I'll definitely need to let it go. Until then I am just happy to have created this piece using those feelings as I'm really happy with it. I don't often "do" portraits or detailed paintings of faces, but I'm glad that I painted this one.

Thanks for looking!

Feeling Spooky.......

Well I've finally picked up my paintbrush again. I wouldn't quite say that I am at a creative block at the moment so much as I have far too many ideas to sit down and focus enough to create one really great piece so I haven't tried. The aceo group that I visit felt that a challenge was in order to help inspire the artists that visit. We've done this in the past and it has worked amazing. Well it has worked again and while I'm not feeling very Halloween-ish I do think that this is exactly what I had to do to get moving again.

And it doesn't hurt that I'm quite happy with the piece. It is titled "Enchanted Profile" and it is created in aceo format using acrylic paints on watercolour paper. I will be listing it either this weekend or early next week.

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.



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.

New Bamboo

Well, tonight the obligations weren't as much so I was able to sit down and paint again. Although it is very similar to the last piece I posted I'm happy with it. The colours aren't quite as "bold" as the previous, but the I think the softer use of colours compliments it quite nicely.



It has been titled "Delicate Bamboo" and has been sold.

Fluttering Bamboo

The creative bug hit me again today and I was able to sit down, uninterupted and paint what was in my head. Sometimes the oddest combination of objects come into my mind, but somehow they work. I am especially happy with this piece, which makes me hesitant to sell it. I have a larger piece in mind to compliment it eventually.



The title for this piece is Bamboo Butterfly and has been sold.

My Geishas

My latest pieces. They are a combination of altered art and acrylic painting. While out shopping at the bookstore with my husband and kids, the idea for these pieces popped into my head and I just had to get them out!





I currently have these on auction seperately on ebay (yep, self-promotion I know, my bad, LOL) I really like these pieces and I was seriously tempted to keep them for myself!
