This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I'll try to remember to measure it before the next time I post her. I've been working on blocking in her face, features, and hair. The hair is partly underpainted and partly blocked in, the silhouettes of where the little birds will be is visible...
Still plugging away at this 16"x20" duo oils Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead painting. I'm just blocking in some basics, much more remains to go for just the underpainting itself, but I hold that some progress is better than no progress at all...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I've started on underpainting her face and neck. Sometimes I am enamored of this soft focus stage, but I enjoy taking things to another level, so the painting continues...
I've concluded that there's no way I'm finishing this painting in time for Dia de los Muertos. I've started to block in the feathers, hair, and neck for this 16"x20" duo oils Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead painting, but this is all just underpainting and I still have her face, headress, and dress to block in before I even begin overpainting. I wish I could finish it in the time allotted, but I know that even if I had my schedule entirely clear, which I do not, I'm just too slow of a painter to manage. Fortunately I do have another one that's on the wall that I'll try to share with you in celebration on that day...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye scarecrow fantasy girl. The original painting is 11"x14" duo oils on wood. I've worked on her eyes and face a bit since you've seen her last. I still need to do more with her hat, hair, nose, lips, and eye details. This is my first time painting heterochromia eyes...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye rococo maiden with lovebirds in her hair. The original painting is duo oils on a wood panel cut to fit a vintage frame. I've only worked on the background at this point, a soft yellow that lets the panel shine through a bit. It's difficult to make out the details at this point, maybe next time I paint on one of these wood panels that Alex's father cut to fit vintage frames for me, I will gesso the panel first instead of just using GAC-100 to seal in the sketch, but I'll see how it goes with this painting...
This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye scarecrow fantasy girl. The original painting is 11"x14" duo oils on wood. I've worked on her hair and top since you've seen her last. I haven't done much with her eyes yet, I think they will be next...
I didn't manage to finish this painting for Halloween last year, so I'm hopefully giving myself enough of a head start to do so for this year. This is a WIP work in progress image of my big eye scarecrow fantasy girl. The original painting is 11"x14" duo oils on wood. I've done the underpainting; although in my enthusiasm I lifted up some of the shadow from her right cheek. It's a good indication that I need to let things dry when that starts happening... This is a painting with many painting sessions ahead of it before completion, painting in layers is fun and rewarding, but requires patience.
It has been a while since I've posted a wip of any of my personal works. It's been a while since I've worked on them... Facebook shamed me by posting a memory post of this, I hadn't realized how long I'd left it by the wayside. 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. Here I've painted the base of the flowers, I still need to paint their cores and put some final details on the little bird.
This is the start of this big eye scarecrow painting, I'm working on her for Halloween, but I may not finish in time as I've embarked on a massive household project... The original painting is 11"x14" duo oils on wood. At this point in the wip work in progress, I've worked mainly on the background. I think the next steps will be to continue on to underpainting...
This is layer two of the underpainting of this big eye Latina mermaid... The original painting is 16"x20" duo oils on wood. At this point in the wip work in progress, I've worked on the rocks as well. I think I will give her at least one more underpainting layer before I proceed with the next layers...
Behind, but not forgotten! 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. It's been a while since I've made any progress on this painting, but it is not forgotten. I need to work on the flowers and some details on the bird still, but it is coming along...
May has slipped away from me or perhaps skudded past me, it's been a busy month. Unfortunately I haven't finished my mermay painting, but I will continue to work on her... The original painting is 16"x20" duo oils on wood. At this point in the wip work in progress, I've been working on the background. My next step is to try texturing the rocks with a fun sponge that I have, I'm looking forward to it...
In this porg wip work in progress, I have sketched in the porg and blocked in the background. The original painting is 4"x4" duo oils on wood. I am painting this little one for Star Wars Day. May the 4th be with you...
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.
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.
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...

Ahoy scallywags, in honor o' International Talk Like a Pirate Day, I 'ave been workin' on this toned drawin' o' a pirate lass. It took me some time t' return t' this drawin' o' this lovely pirate lass, but now I reckon I 'ave her set t' rights. Initially I'd planned a series o' pirate paintings, but I be nah sure if I be takin' this any further...
I hope ye 'ave an excellent Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Happy Thanksgiving! It occurs to me that I don't have a lot of fall art, but I did take this photo at Descanso Gardens of a very grate...
