Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. This is the winning bird. I'd planned to do a more straightforward study of just the bird; but when I took some advice and made the form smaller and paid attention to some details, I decided that while still keeping it a study, to incorporate some sakura cherry blossoms and make it more of a stand alone painting.
When looking through my paintings to wish you a happy Saint Patrick's Day, I discovered I haven't painted a lot of redheads. However, this little mermaid with seahorse friends would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday...
Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original bunny girl painting. She is 11"14" on wood and is being painted in duo oils. I'd planned to start the bird on Friday, but have been working on this one. I have unknown layers to go on her but I'm having a lot of fun painting her.
Edit: And the winner by one vote across my social media sites is baby bird #1... It was very close and I had some thoughtful write in votes for both birds, but I put it to a vote due to supply issues. Thanks so much for the help!
I am doing a small study of one of these two chibi baby lovebirds, but I can not decide which one... I will be painting both birds in a larger painting in the hair of a Rococo maiden, but only one as a study. Please vote between bird 1 on the left and bird 2 on the right.
The vote will end on Friday March 3rd at 2pm pst. I will tally the votes between my social media accounts and begin painting the winning bird!
It's been a while since I've posted a WIP work in progress image. This original bunny girl painting is 11"14" on wood and is being painted in duo oils. I've completed the underpainting. Next up will be her fluffy hair...
It is dark and stormy and cold, at least for us, and colder still across the land. To contrast with the weather, I've decided to share one of my brighter, cheerier original paintings. This mermaid has three clownfish friends. She and her fish friends aren't historical, but they do wish you a happy Black History Month...
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's day. I painted this image of a heart rising on the horizon of purple mountains quite some time ago, but it still speaks to me of hope and love.
In honor of Chinese Lunar New Year, I have painted this tiny bunny rabbit painting. The panel measures 4"x4"! I hope your new year is festive and full of good fortune...
Camilla d'Errico is one of my favorite artists. I was beyond thrilled when I opened my Black Friday package and found one of the five original drawings she's giving away between now and midnight the 28th within mine! It's my favorite of the five as well, a helmet girl with a fuzzbutt bee friend. I am so thrilled. There were also two gorgeous prints that were much larger than expected, a bookmark, and a promo postcard that came entirely for free. This was in addition to my order, which I absolutely loved. Thank you so much Camilla and Staff!
