Process

I just listed a couple new little paintings into the shop:

"Tropical Punch Anemone"--acrylic on antique 30s newspaper on wood laminate tag, 3.5x5" {sold}

"Mint Anemone"--acrylic on antique 30s newspaper on wood laminate tag, 3.5x5" {sold}


They're both quite bright and whimsical and look near identical to their rough sketched counterparts in my sketchbook:
I had a ball painting all those writhing transparent tentacles too... Lots of sketching, planning, and painting 'round these parts, I must say....And I'm nearly done with all the miniature paintings I hinted at earlier! There's a total of 8 in this series, and they're all portraits of woodland critters. Ghastly adorable.
They'll each make their way into the shop this week, day by day. I'll also upload pictures and links of each on the blog for ease of finding and cataloguing, so do keep your pretty eyes peeled.
Happy dreams, all!

Haha! I love painting on the backs of those laminate tags. Something about the woodgrain, I guess. I've started ordering the samples direct from the company--far easier and more legit. And I don't have to feel all sneaky-like at the hardware store. :)

I had a blast painting these ones. Glad to hear you like 'em!
