Bone thugs in harmony


I'm making a bunch of paintings for my friend's holistic pet market. Thought a doggie bone was appropriate. It's still in the works... but this is the idea. I will put a few sayings on this one and I've got a bunch of other ideas for the store. Good times... By the way, GO TO NOBLE BEAST PETS. (www.noblebeastpets.com) It's an awesome place for you and your beast!

Speaking of Noble Beasts--- here's my animals in action today!
Kitty enjoying a nice cool porcelain sink. How do you spell porcelain? He likes the sink... the ONLY surface he's allowed on... bathroom sink. He drinks from the tap- what a spoiled kitty.

Marley girl looking absolutely pathetic. She's trying to find a cool surface to lie on... who said it was fall? It was 107 today!!!

Just can't leave good enough alone...

I didn't like the rainbow effect on the feathers so I jazzed it up a bit... I am walking away. I am done. Putting it down... I'm done??? Yes. I think so. Added some green to the centers of each feather. I may still need to add more color to the ends... not sure... dang it. I don't think I'm done. haha!

Peacock Feathers


TAKE THAT PEACOCK LADY!!! (part two)

Finally done with the feathers... I love peacocks. I love them. I heart them- I adore them. Know this and be at one with this. TIFFANY LOVES FEATHERS- especially peacock feathers.


Here's how it went throughout the process:



Add a few days of bug eyes from painting tiny little lines... and voila! You're done. LOL!!! It was quite a process but I enjoyed it. It was more fun than painting flowers that's for sure.

Hello Loto

So I am finally done with the lotus. Even though I share a birthday with Georgia O'Keefe, I am not going to be one that focuses on flowers. They are beautiful- but difficult!!!! I will post the inspiration for this painting and the finished product. You be the judge...


The inspiration...



The finished product...

Seriously the last flower pic I'm gonna do. Next project is to finish the peacock feathers, make some bone, doggy, & kitty pics for my friend's pet market, dragons for AJ's book (I have not forgotten), then the abstracts for the other book... lots going on and that's just the art projects I'm doin! Busy bee!!!!

Unfinished business


I am getting really good at starting things and not finishing them... well actually, I've always been really good at that. But now it's leaking over into my artwork. But here's a few things I've started. They need a bit of tweaking. This canvas was meant to be a background for something extraordinary but it's growing on me as is. I may do a series of these in different colors- related colors of course. This is 16x20 using acrylic paint.



This is a pink lotus... I have a photo of a lotus that is really inspiring and I did my best rendition of it. I need to finish it up with some correct shading, etc and then I'll post it when I'm done...
