April First Friday.

I've been trying to see my work from an outside perspective recently.. lol, & what I see is a set of really ..kind of intense, sad paintings.. or of sad things. I think its just that those are the types of feelings I need to get out. But this is only a part of me, it isn't alll of me. :)

Big Scanner!

and it is pretty great. this painting measures 16X20 inches.
and is 2 inches wide on the sides.


and was scanned really well!! In 2 parts.
[this painting isn't finished yet, i just did a quick test scan..]
I haven't worked on it in a while, I've been spending all my painting time on paintings for shows coming up!

anyway, Scanner is all thanks to  Aldo! 

Little Bear Boy

I began this little painting a while ago, its now all entirely finished. the lighting that came in the window at this particular time, kindof called for a picture, it seemed like good natural lighting.

been working on this painting again, i hope it turns out good when i finish it, its been giving me a hard time. I seem to want a specific look with her..an expression, I'll get it soon i hope.

New Painting in Progress

new painting in progress, oil paint on 18 by 24 inch canvas board

in progress, current stage: looking up references for what i want to do with her eyes..

im excited about this painting, im working on it using a slightly different painting technique. using walnut oil as a medium instead of turpenoid, which i just realized leaves me painting in a more watery consistency.
I will do glazes on her later for color. i hope that goes well, i dont know how to do it properly. still excited!

Naughty Doll

I started this naughty doll a while ago, and decided to finish her for this show I have up locally.

Discomfort With Finding Yourself

This is a painting about, well..what the title suggests. The egg represents hope for an answer, in finding comfort in oneself. Hope that you will eventually feel okay in your own skin. I was feeling really off when I sketched this idea out, and it felt good to draw a girl that only felt comfortable if her nose was hidden., better a cone than a hideous (to her) nose.
