She’s been added to my main gallery in 3 categories: 2005 : All paintings, People Portraits, and Monochromatic Paintings. You can leave comments on her portrait in any of these locations!

I told you I was painting. See? Here’s Adriana’s head. Wierd lookin’, yes, she has no body. You’d look wierd too if your body was just a sketch. heh.

😛

I’ve just completed making all of the 4×4 paintings patriotic! (That was part of the deal.) I’ll go back and add highlights and lowlights and stuff to give them dimension. Aren’t they fun??

I did get a few more sketches done today, the top two are from the 4×4 countdown (one upgraded to 5×7). The goobly gobbly one is CAKE. Yes I’m gonna paint a cake. MMM. And if you’re nice to me and post a whole bunch, I’ll share the recipe with you. heh.

This one is Sissy, she’s a white kitty and will be a nice dramatic portrait since she’s got really beautiful long white fur. Her left eye looks strange right now because I just outlined where it will appear to be. There is a beautiful drop shadow cast on her left side, she will actually have a similar (and reversed) shading effect of Into The Light.

This is Adriana, she’s getting a peachy monochromatic portrait painted of her!

I am missing 2 of this group of 4×4 paintings, because I am waiting on canvas. Bah.

So, of my group of folks who were with me the night the countdown ran to zero, do ya know which one is yours?

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?

Phew it’s taken me a few hours to get this viola scanned and pieced together, but WELL worth it, I must say. Yes I’m bragging again. I don’t do it often, so thank you for tolerating me when I do! I’m “hiding” the detail images, just read on (click “more” beneath the full painting) to see the detail shots. I am particularly fond of (read: proud) the pinstriping along the edge of the viola. That took a steady hand and a lot of patience. I am also just tickled to pieces about how the bridge turned out. I didn’t even have to pull my viola out of the case to check for accuracy on it. Cool.

Without further delay, here’s the insanely awesome and accurate scan of one of the artists’ most favoritest paintings ever.
