Painting a Sea Turtle.

This painting was commissioned by the buyer of my, Butterfly Goddess.   She has invited me to a gathering this Saturday and said I could hang a bunch of paintings and she would show them to her friend$.  I would really like to finish this painting by Friday.     I’m using a lot of  gold  and glitter.

New painting started as a donation

This painting has been planned for months.  It’s intended to be a back drop for Music group, “Medicine For The People.” which happens to be one of my favorite music groups of my time.  This should help add to  their visual presentation. 

I have been waiting for, but now have the materials needed to work.  I’m painting acrylic on a black canvas that is not really stretched.  I punched grommet holes in each corner, and my sweetheart sewed a hem down the sides.   I hope it will be finished by April.   Painting on a canvas that hasn’t been gessoed takes some getting used to, because the paint just soaks into it.  The texture on the wall surface is adding an unexpected element to the painting.

Van Gogh Art application

I came across this fantastic visual interactive animation demonstration of a Van Gogh Art application.  Skip ahead some to get right to the good stuff.

Another Commission..

It’s almost not worth posting now, but a month ago this would have been big news for me.  A new painting was ordered today, she wants a landscape with a dramatic beautiful sky… This is the first time I have ever had to tell someone that they will have to wait.   unless she will like this one I  painted in 2010.
