My brand new venture into 'Artist Trading Cards' !
Look!
My brand new venture into 'Artist Trading Cards'! (2.5"x3.5". These are almost real life size.)
I started sketching with pencil, painted with acrylic, then covered them in gel medium to seal it all .
I am really happy with the results. All of these cards have been traded. To set up a custom swap contact me!
I am also making ACEO's
What's an ACEO? It's an “Art Card Editions and Originals”. These affordable little works of art measure only 2.5" x 3.5" and are perfect for collecting, framing, and gifting!

1930's Shirley Temple Doll and Steiff bear.
These are a few of my favorite things.(Including the wooden mushrooms.)
I have been thinking about painting still life this week. I have not started, but I am thinking about it. ; )
I pulled these out, dusted them off, and took some pics in the back yard. I am going to work on still life groupings, and photograph them. Ideally I will paint from life!

The Red Queen
This inspirational artist, Lori Field, is the one I used for one exercise this week.
(See post below from a few days ago)
This is what I have been up to.Canvas size 16X20. (Not sure how big the original is, but I needed some space to 'get it all in')
This is just my under painting. I hope to lighten it up as I go along.
My first stage is a painted sketch. Then I block in basic colors. This is what I have done today.
The original is called Red Queen.This is my daughter with a deer/bird, and a mouse/bird. The picture I was inspired by is on rice paper, colored pencils, and encaustic wax. it will be a challenge to get the vapor quality with oil.(Or I will learn something new:)
I will keep you updated on the stages so you can see how it goes.
-------------------------------------------
Update: I have tried to lighten it up. It was challenging because I wanted brighter colors. I changed the bird mouse in her hands to a white rabbit. I have to wait for this layer to dry before I can paint it in. I will also add more flowers in the bottom corner so the deer bird blends in.

My intent is not to copy. I just want to step into another 'room of discovery', and try some new textures and iconography.
