"Moments"

I am have a goal to be more diligent with my blog. So here is a color study and some sketches of paintings I am currently working on. I am depicting "moments" from life that are funny or awkward, and especially relatable. I'll be sure to keep you posted with each painting as they progress. There will be 6 total.

More Watercolor Magic!

So I am having a blast! I think I am finally letting go of the baggage and just making art. The passion comes when you do your best to make a great picture, and you love every second of creating it, and then you can't stop smiling when you look at it again and again. Not saying I love everything I paint, or that there aren't improvements to make, but I think the "fun" I am having creating the piece is starting to show in the final product. I think my artwork is more or less a journey of my personal self discovery as an artist and as a person in general.

Winter 2012

I LOVE watercolor! I am taking my first class and breathing it all in! The top paintings are based on my sister and paintings by a professional artist names Lisa Leeva. I have also had a recent fascination with chickens...and specifically, chickens playing basketball. I am having a lot of fun, and I am working on two other chicken paintings.

So, I have had this secret (and not so secret) love for comic strip art FOREVER!  I secretly would love to try it, and I make cheesy comics during my "breaks" from my illustrating job, then I show them to my husband and see if he laughs.
