Dorian Gray

It's been a while since i've done a book painting.

I was reading Oscar Wildes "the picture of Dorian Gray"

which ended up as part of the setup for this painting.

I'm not quite sure it's finished though. :p

NYSE

against my better judgment, i thought i'd have a go at artist karen jurick s' "different strokes from different folk" challange.

why against my better judgment? because i don't normally do so much detail in paintings,

and as it happens this weeks challange is a painting about the NY stock exchange! gazillion people, paper, screens.... AHHHHH.

needless to say i took much longer time - burn some neurons- painting than i normally do.

why don't i take some time- PLAN- the painting before jumping in with two feet i ask you, it would save me so much time problem fixing.

this was very interesting. I'm not exactly ecstatic about the out come, but i'm not unpleased either. so there. peace and out.

thx karen<~~ big fan :))

kitty and the red yarn

haven't posted since forever.

some bed time painting. didn't do the picture justice: no time no paint, alot of yawning.

this is way too realistic for me.

i thought i'd speed it up a bit painting upside down which also gives pretty accurate measurements. it works.

caraazul77 was kind enough to allow me to use of this great photo.

Days of Old...

the idea for this comes from brides & wedding celebrations in various cultures, where the celebrations include customs & costumes unique to each.

these may not be part of her daily modern life hence the expressionless face. moments when the wedding seizes to be about her wants and things must be done the proper way; the traditional way. She is transported back in time and she becomes her mother, her grandmother, an extention of a long line of women in her family...

all that yellow is actually GOLD, I couldn't get a decent picture ( i tried!).

i'm pretty sure this painting's done... hmm, it is hard to tell sometimes.
