Well, it's been awhile but I'm back with another video and a lot of art! In the video I'll show you a couple of my paintings and also tell you about a class I'm taking and a book I'm reading. So it's not strictly show & tell. If you just want to see my art, I'm showing it all below.
Since my last post, I've finished six little paintings. A chicken,
a camel (just look at those eye lashes!),
an otter (I was stunned by the number of whiskers),
a hedgehog (the cutest!),
a rooster (Happy Chinese New Year),
and a young leopard.
The stag on the other hand is a large painting (24 x 30 inches), which took a while to finish. There's so much to see in all the layers that went into this painting. It looks like worlds within worlds...
In the video I'm talking about a class I'm taking with Jeanne Oliver, called Wild Awakening: Painting Big with Expressive Freedom. It's wonderful!! In one video she suggested we go out in nature to find alternative brushes like branches, leaves and in my case pine needles and cones.
I used them all for mark making and had the best time!
Just look at some of this gorgeous texture!
The result was a stunning and large (12 x 36 inches) emperor penguin! Just look at that intense expression! They are magnificent creatures!!
I hope you have all been doing well. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've been up to these last few weeks!
