| This is what I consider to be my best watercolor painting to date. I am selling the original. It is 22 inches x 14.75 inches. Price: $230 Payment Methods: money order, USD cash, paypal When I have the money I will be making limited edition prints, each numbered and signed. My philosophy with my paintings is that if I want them to look realistic I'll take a photograph. Instead I choose to make the world look like a painting. It looks more interesting that way. The artists who have inspired me the most are Georgia O'Keefe, Judy Chicago, and Stephanie Pui-Mun Law. I work from photographs and drawings and make them into watercolor paintings. Most of the time I crop a picture down to just a portion of it, sometimes no more than an inch in size, and will do a full painting of that small part. I love the macro view of the world. |
Hehehe...that sounds so wrong.
Today was hot, sweaty, and very busy. I spent the last 5 hours at the local park busying myself with creating new jewelry. Finished 4 pieces, working on a fifth. I'll post them later. Right now I'm sweaty and gross. It was 90 degrees today with light wind (yay for wind!), and I rode my bike to and fro. First to the library to return books and pick up a new one, then to the park to make jewelry while sitting on a beach towel under a tree. My skin no like grass. Grass gives me a rash. Fun times those.
I don't know if I'll be making any tomorrow, but I will be going back to the park to read at least. My thumbs are going to be hellishly sore tomorrow. Ugh.
Three of the pieces I made are RAINBOWS!!! I'm using scraps to make the jewelry I'm working on. The rainbow pieces are $5 USD each, and I'll likely make more of them. They're simple pieces that take all of fifteen minutes to make. VERY PRETTY! I made them long with tied ends to adjust length. You can wrap them several times for a bracelet or anklet, even put them around a ponytail, or keep it long for a necklace. I like.
I think I busted the tube in my front bike tire. It was going flat today. I have no idea how I did it, but I'll refill with air tomorrow and if it goes flat again I know it's busted.
Now for much needed foooood.
