New art painting.

Another work in progress.  My paint is being absorbed into the hardboad and I’m struggling to blend the skin.

A digital painting practice, done with a mouse.  I was going for atmosphere more than detail. 

It’s about time I plugged my scanner in.  12”x12” acrylic on canvas

Sunny side up.  4”x4” acrylic painting on canvas.

This is my first painting on hardboard. I did a simple landscape to test out the surface. It was quite different than canvas in that it seemed to soak up the paint rather than move around on the surface.  12”x12” acrylic

Finally, after much painstaking effort, the face, lips, eyes, and hair are complete! The completed canvas painting is 12”x12” (done in acrylics). I textured the canvas before painting, and I’m not very fond of the lumps and bumps. But I was trying out some new blending techniques, and I’m really happy with the result!

I’m giving my strained eyes a break from the pencil drawing by painting a new portrait.  

New art

New artwork.  Digital painting of a snowman.

New digital artwork of scrumptious strawberry shortcake.  I make these with a basic scone recipe and add some marinated strawberries and whipped cream! It’s not only one of my favorite desserts, but I love Strawberry Shortcake the character.  I still have my bed sheets of Strawberry Shortcake from when I was a child.

Created in painter and photoshop.  Prints will be available soon.

Photo test.  A watercolor painting I recently made of my daughter (in the future) and my dog that I converted to black and white. I’m new to tumblr and I’m trying to adjust to things.  I made my own sparkly background and heading.  I like sparkles.
