4 Little Paintings; One GINORMOUS Canvas. And a rabbit.
So I've been doing some leetle paintings. It's kind of stupid, the stuff that gets me going, and I'm always prowling around AC Moore of all places, thinking up wicked things to do with bits of wood and fake flowers and doll heads.
Eventually I just ended up bringing home the bits of [overpriced] wood. And then i painted stuff on them! And drew pictures on them!
Star
Aurora
Mariposa
Uncaged
They're all about 3x6"; I think i'll prolly put a couple up for sale and then make prints available as well.
And speaking of painting, I've had this big blank canvas (we're talking 24x48) just chillin' on my easel for an ill minute; in light of my recent endeavors I think it's about time I did something with it. So I thought maybe I'd pick a day, maybe Monday, and post pictures updating my progress throughout the day, in real time here on the blog - from blank canvas to ugly mess to finished masterpiece. I work kinda fast and sloppy (har!) so it's not like it's going to drag on and on for eons getting this thing done. Hopefully it will be a fun experiment, and if the results are good maybe i can do this more often; so if you're around on Monday, come check in on how it's coming along.
Ok, now for the rabbit; lately he's been obsessed with going OUTSIDE. As soon as he hears the front door open, he is immediately in the hall, nudging my ankles to get by and out into the yard. He has an excavation project he is working on, you see, and it is very important.
He dug this all by himself. He gets his little feets in there and is all like digdigdigdigdigdigdigdig, and then he pops his head up to scope things out and his wee face is COVERED in dirt.
This is a not-dirty face, shortly before starting his little project.

I ADORE your color schemes <3
I love those little paintings! YUM. And that rabbit, too. Not the yum, part, though. That would just be gross. I'm interested to see how your little project works out.
awsome coloring! the 3 first ones are so sweet on the eyes!
the 4th strikes a nerve in me - I love what it illustrates
Hmm, I really thought there would be a painting of a rabbit.
The way your colors suffuse the entire painting while flowing in and out of the figures is quite interesting.
@Atalaya_Cavallo - Thanks! I have a LOT of paint, ha.
@princess_smartypants - Don't worry. there have been times when I have threatened to put him in a pot and cook him, so.
@relaxolgy - Yeah, that 4th one is a little more macabre. Maybe I'm trying to be "edgy", hahaha.
@moritheil - Eventually, the rabbit will turn up in something. For now he just supervises from afar.
mmmmm, love me some ugmoe.
i want an annie-ized version of amy.
i love the colors so very much. and YOU, you are the most adorable evar. the bunny looks dignified and aloof.
dude aurora looks so very much like a girl i went to school with. if you do make these into prints, i'm going to have to get that, because i would love to give it to her. of course i dno't know wehre she lives, but, you know, details. bahaa.
and also, what lamy said. when this bee thing starts to pan out dollar-wise, i'ma ask you to make a tiny rache, with tiny bees. (unless you wanna swap for it, cuz i gots soap, and another month, i'll have honey...)
Yo your style kicks serious ass! Reminds me of that show uh.. "Mission Hill" it was cartoon I think.
Thanks! I dunno if i'm familiar with that cartoon. i did live in Mission Hill in Boston though, which was kind of a...um, "notorious" neighborhood.
Looking through your site, your artwork is great. You're jewelry is very pretty. I love gemstones. Have a good one.
I like the mariposa. And I really like the Namaste pendant. I can't see myself wearing it, so I'm trying to think of somebody who would appreciate it.
