Art again! (IF - Infinite)

As she gazed into her future, she realized that the possibilities were infinite!

I've been working on a commission and experimenting with some fingerless gloves at the request of someone who bought one of my scarves, so haven't been painting all that much that I can show you.

So, today, I sat down and painted all day. I am almost done with the commission, which I'll share as soon as it's done and I know that Joanne likes it. And I also painted this dreamy lady. I used lots of light molding paste (love that texture) on an 8 x 10 canvas.

I entered her into Illustration Friday for this week's theme of "infinite." Tomorrow, I'll have her available at my Etsy store (maybe even tonight if I can find the time).

Thank you all for your fun comments on our beach outings. I was especially amused by the comments about my accent in the video - I can really still hear my German accent, which most people don't detect at all. But when Jo suggested I had a southern twang, I told Daniel it was time to move away from here. Just kidding...we aren't going anywhere in the foreseeable future!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Friday!!

  1. I love your new piece of art & the sentiment. This is a very appealing color combo. Also, I love her big green eyes! She looks like she really can see the future!

  3. I can't actually say I heard any hint of a southern accent except for when you say 'Savannah', of course I don't think anyone can say 'Savannah' without a little twang!

  4. I love the texture!

    It was so nice to hear your voice on the video! I detected only a little bit of a German accent at the very end, and only because I was listening for it.
