    Final Scan & Detail : Purple Tigerpixie

    March

    HERE she is. You can also see the close-up of her eyes, which I think turned out just purpley!

    This is going into my monochromatic series. I use a limited palette of 3 colors (normally), Carrie’s consists of indigo, violet and flesh. I did end up using just a smidge of white as well on this one. I wanted this series to be a little more “loose” than my regular works, with more visible brush strokes. It’s hard for me to let that happen, but there are some visible here! LOL

    Also, if you don’t know the “who” of who this is, you can visit the Purple Tigerpixie’s website here, or her blog, here. She’s an artist and friend, so you can see her work, too!

    Mark unchained me today. I escaped to the studio for a couple of hours, and this is what happened. I’m a mess. Can’t even go more than 3 days without painting?! Is there a group for this kind of thing?

    Here are Thor & Oz, I am not entirely pleased with the scan and need to redo part of it (dark banding where I merged, otherwise it’s ok to show ya!). I’m including large detail of both birds, hiding them behind the “read more” tag, so read more!

    Day after Tomorrow!

    This week is flying by.

    I’m up at the crack of dawn, drink about 5 huge mugs of coffee, have some quiet time before the girls get up, and then they’re up. Then it’s breakfast, getting ready for school, doing the mom thing, and getting Caitibug out the door.

    Then I get ready to paint.

    Yesterday I was up at 6, started painting at 9, and finished at 4. We had “pizza night”, “scrub the floors” night, “bathe the guinea pig” night, and “go to bed early ’cause what an exhausting day” night. Vacation? What’s that?! Hard to believe that within the next 24 hours I will complete my last painting before Mark’s return, and I will (try with every ounce of my being) not pick up my brushes for over a week. That just seems so wrong!!

    The Catfish was delivered yesterday, you can see him here in my studio.

    With that, I’m going to go enjoy the Cardinals who are gracing my backyard with their song, and get 4 additional cups of coffee, and paint all day today, much like yesterday!

    Have a good one!

    Work in Progress #3 : Riley

    I’ve gotta stop for the night now, this is the progress on Riley. I was really hoping to finish him tonight, but that’s just not going to happen. If I hit the hay now, I can get up early and get him done, and then continue on with the Macaws. The birds probably need more drying time anyway.

    Whew! What a great painting session! I ROCK! LOL Just kidding. Partially. I am very pleased with this underpainting. Having this much done already is going to save me a great deal of time covering canvas. Now I can just work on the feathery lil-details! YAHOO! I’m going to finish on schedule!!!

    Dontchya love this background?!
