Still Life – Leanne Wildermuth : Artist by Nature

Custom Web Logo / Painting

Leanne — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:56:49 +0000

I had the privilege of working on this custom painting that is going to be used for a logo/header on the web. My client purchased full license along with the commission, so she’s free to use it wherever she’d like. It would make a nice notepad paper, don’t you think?

She asked for flowers on a table, an open book, a stack of books – tea, and soft pretty colors. I worked up a sketch first, which she approved. I then created a watercolor painting from the sketch, which is hers to keep. Once I scanned in the painting, I re-watercolored it digitally to enhance the pretty pastels and soften up the artifacts that scan in with “real” artwork, and what you’re seeing here is a 1/3 scale version of the full sized web-ready painting.

It’s a very unique way of branding, I think, original artwork goes digital. I really enjoyed working this up as it turned into a nice cozy and feminine piece, and it was good to get out the watercolors again.

Exhibit Update

I’ve finally got all of my painting scans pieced together and uploaded to my portfolio, so I thought I’d give you a quick rundown of what is on display with more quality images than the initial window display photo in my “Now on Exhibit” post.

I posted the Great Blue Heron scan here in my blog because the image in my portfolio is really pretty small.

Here are all the thumbs (linked to their painting details in my portfolio):

Now On Exhibit!

If you’d like to “walk around”, click the pic for the (not narrated) video, walking up to the display and all that fun stuff you would get to do if you were HERE. (Update: I converted the thing to a windows media file and it’s much smaller and faster loading, sorry about that humongo file!) I’ll get back over there when the tags go up, in the evening, when there isn’t a funky glare from the street.

These are all available for purchase, so if you’re interested in any of them you can contact me for pricing and I can give you the number to call MidCoast Fine Arts to purchase through the gallery.

16 Eye Ate It’s

Leanne — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 17:29:53 +0000

Here’s a sampling – the spacing and stuff is all wrong, but it will look something like this on exhibit. The whole thing will display at about 24″ x 24″.

Eye Ate It Paintings #4

Leanne — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 22:00:33 +0000

Here you go, the last set to complete a 16 set series of “Eye Ate It” paintings that will be presented as part of my exhibition that begins – WEDNESDAY. Yes. Wednesday. I have 2 days to complete my biggest, largest most complicated painting for the show now.

These should be easy guesses, and now I’m starving – because my kids ate all my painting subjects. Dangit. I swear, as soon as I had the painting finished, they snagged it and ran. In fact, Chickey is standing right in front of me right now saying “Are you done painting the Eye Ate It’s?” and I said “yeeeessss” and she said “Can I go get the rest of the candy now?” and of course, my reply was “yeeeessssss”.

Grumble, grumble, grumble
(that’s my tummy)

Eye Ate It Paintings #3

Leanne — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 22:00:55 +0000

One more set to go in my “Eye Ate It” series to finish – did you guess on the last set? This one may be easier – although that one to the right may stump a few people since the image isn’t a very big one.

(Yes I’ll put them all together when I’m finished for you to eat up, you know, that’s a lot of Eye Candy. Save your ~~appetite~~ eyepetite. :winking:)

Happy guessing!

P.S. Got ice? We do! On a normal day, that bush is not so vertically challenged. I think it may split in half. Can’t go out, you might get pelted by the ice cube sized stuff breaking off the trees. One more – look at our coated power lines. (Hoping they don’t snap!)

Eye Ate It Paintings #2
