I also have additional giclee art prints on ebay here.  This week I have a theme of the ocean; some of my art offered this week is of sailboats and the sea, some of it is of its denizens...  Ships, mermaids, seahorses, and the ocean - Ahoy!

Work in Progress on Seahorses Painting Continues...

Here is another work in progress view of my painting of two seahorses, "Entwined."  I'm still puttering along.  I didn't get a chance to paint as much as I would have liked yesterday, it was more of an errands day.  I am hopeful that today will be a better day.

Entwined Seahorses Painting Work in Progress...

Here is a work in progress view of two seahorses that I am painting.  I've come up with a title for the painting, it is "Entwined."  Seahorses aren't very strong swimmers, so they use their tails to hold onto seaweed.  I think I might be starting the background for my next mermaid painting today, or I might just continue on with this one, I haven't decided yet...

Seahorses Painting Work in Progress...

Here is a work in progress view of two seahorses that I am painting.  Although seahorses typically are near other seahorses that are very similar in color and pattern, I've decided to make the seahorse in front a bit warmer in hue.  I've blocked the seahorse in and will be working on at least part of the pattern today.

Seahorses Painting Work in Progress, One Seahorse Almost Complete...

Here is a work in progress view of two seahorses that I am painting.  I'm taking a little break from my angel painting, I was trying to get it done to list yesterday, but that didn't quite happen.  I'm hoping I'll manage to finish her for next Tuesday, this week is a bit hectic though...  On this painting I have one seahorse with just some touch ups to do and one completely left to go.

I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to post tomorrow, so if I don't, Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate it!

Seahorses Painting Work in Progress, the Start of a Seahorse...

Here is a work in progress view of two seahorses that I am painting.  I've started on a seahorse, in my reference, they are a dark brown and creme.  I think that would look good too, but after trying different colors in photoshop, I've decided to paint them purple.  I love purple *almost* as much as I love blue...

Kay Sage: Surrealist Artist from In Wonderland at LACMA + Seahorses WIP

A while back, I went to the LACMA show In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States.  Here are some pieces by artist Kay Sage.  I thought her artwork was very interesting and reminded me a bit of some of Salvador Dali's pieces.  "Danger, Construction Ahead" was her first large scale painting that she did in the U.S. and it was focused on European intellectuals, some of whom Kay Sage helped to relocate due to the war.  With the last two, I'm not certain which number went with which piece, but I thought they were both fascinating.

Seahorses Painting Work in Progress, the Start of the Seaweed...

Here is a work in progress view of two seahorses that I am painting.  I've started painting the seaweed.  I still have quite a ways to go on the seaweed before I'm done, there's a bunch of it to the right of the seahorses.  I won't decide if I'm keeping the seaweed or painting over it until I'm done painting the seahorses...
