Happy Halloween!

I thought I would try my hand at sculpting something, after being inspired by watching Mad Monster Party. She's very Tim Burton-esque which I love.

Fancy Lady

Painted in gouache.

Girls In Space. . .

When hunting aliens one should always use caution.
This painting started out as an oil painting many months ago. I overworked it so much that I started to hate it. So I decided to scrap it all and start over, this time using gouache and watercolor. I'm much happier with this one!

Cuteness

Okay, that's enough cute animals for now.

Animal Portraits

I love these little guys! I painted them in pastel (my old friend). I might do a few more little creatures, they're just so cute. I think they would be perfect to hang in a baby's room. . .

Animal Parade

So here is a new painting I did last week, painted in gouache. It was nice to step away from oil paints for awhile and get back into gouache, it's so much faster and I like that instant gratification. This one is pretty large at about three and a half feet wide. I would have made it even larger if I could find a piece of watercolor paper big enough! I prefer painting large, when it's too small I feel as if I don't have as much control over the paint. I wish now that I had given it some sort of background though, it feels too plain.

Lillies

I just finished this oil painting yesterday. It's a gift for my mom to hang in her zen-like living room. I'm really loving oil painting the more I do it. It takes a long time to finish each piece (at least for me) but it's worth it. I'm halfway through a new one involving spacegirls. I'll post whenever I get it done.
