Something New, Something Blue

Well, actually, they’re both blue but minor details.  I’ve finished two new pieces, although one is kind of a cheat.  I already posted about this in progress, but now here’s the finished piece.  Except for basically ruining my crow quill by accident (which accounts for the blotchiness in the lines), I’m pleased with how it […]

Cuts like a knife

Vague post title is wonderfully vague.  Except it’s kind of not.  I had a larger (11″ x 15″) piece I was working on that just wasn’t doing it for me.  The composition was off and I didn’t like it.  In fact, I’d pretty much stopped doing anything with it for several days.  Last night, I […]

Image Gallery testing in progress

I’ve been somewhat dissatisfied with my image gallery plug-in for a while now, but haven’t gotten motivated enough to do anything about it until now.  I’m testing something new and want to see how it looks.  The upside is if I like this, it’ll look much nicer on the site.  The downside is having to […]

State of the Art (2017) #1

Continuing with my cleaning and organizing theme, I finally took the time over this weekend to put some items sitting out in my office/studio away in the closet and slightly straighten up my drawing table.  The room feels much bigger now, even though it wasn’t as if I were cramped for space or anything.  It’s […]

Peace Offering

I have been incredibly lax about updating the site and posting any images here.  I have the remainder of the January 30-in-30 that I did plus a few other pieces that I’ve managed to do in the past six months as well, but the truth is – I’ve been incredibly lazy in general.  Just haven’t […]

Day 7 – Another Untitled Piece

Nothing much to really say here.  I’ve yet again failed to come up with a title but that’s all right.  It will let the viewer decide what they like about this painting rather than be influenced by the words I assigned. I’m really enjoying how the violet and turquoise blue look together.  Overall very pleased […]

Days 4, 5, and 6 – all together now!

So in my usual timely fashion, I’m behind on posting my daily paintings.  I have such good intentions, but then my book and comfy chair downstairs tempt me when I get home from work.  Tonight I was ambitious though! Days 4 and 5 are sibling paintings, in that they started out life as one larger […]

Day 3 – Tidal

Unlike yesterday’s painting, the title for Day 3 came to when I was almost done.  I had been planning to do something for my Layers series in my usual greens and turquoise blue, but I ended up putting a bit of a twist in there.  As the green layers were drying, I had the impression […]

Day 2 – Mist

When trying to think of names for my paintings, I usually come up blank (and I’ll probably name one of my pieces “Blank” one of these days).  Sometimes, nothing comes to me when looking at the piece. Sometimes though, a name just pops into my head and in some cases, it sticks even if the […]
