Ode to music

I haven't posted a thing here in so long that I don't even know where to start!

I may not have posted but i HAVE been painting.

I noticed IF's theme for the week is "stings", and so

I'll start with this musical painting I painted some days ago.

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.

I'm reposting this painting for Illustration Friday.

homage to Vermeer.
