Come Play with Me

Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:57:06 +0000

Inspired by my husband and I, actually. Only the roles are reversed. He is from Colorado, and loves the cold weather. Me, I love the sand and beach. And we are always fighting over the temperature in the house.

Starlight Dancer

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 20:12:33 +0000

A painting started two years ago, and left unfinished as I got burned out on it. But now, finally! It is done. Hours and hours of work, and many changes (it doesn't even resemble the original). Photoshop.

Ice Skating

A cute little girl ice skates with her friend, the polar bear cub. Painted in Photoshop, many hours.

Mr Snow Bunny

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 17:07:11 +0000

Very original title, I know. But I love simplicity. And I love painting cute, fluffy creatures, like this rabbit.

We don't get snow here in S. California, and I always miss it this time of year. So I get inspired to paint it.

Painted in Photoshop CS.

Grow

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:54:14 +0000

This fairy is growing something very special...new life.

Painted in Photoshop, started out as an Illustration Friday topic, "Grow" and heh, grew into this. ~10 hours.

Trick or Treat! (AKA Night of the flying pumpkins)

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:44:44 +0000

This cute witch decided to take the whole pumpkin patch with her trick-or-treating on Halloween. I love this time of year! I wanted to paint something for Halloween, and this came out of one of my drawings in my sketch book. I won't be making changes to the image, but suggestions are welcome!

Time: 5.5 hours

Mr Ghost and the Ballerina

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:08:32 +0000

Nothing spectacular, just a ghost, and a little ballerina. Painted in Photoshop.

Mr Pumpkin Had a Headache

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:01:35 +0000

I love pumpkin carving. Inspired by the Halloween season, nothing like creepy children and carving knives.

Siren

Just playing with bright colors and motion, and continuing to refine my style.

Curiosity

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 23:07:58 +0000

I wanted to capture the mystery that often comes with a beautiful woman. I originally started this picture several months ago, but picked it back up to submit for Exotique.

The Golden Comb

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 03:12:26 +0000

A Grimm inspired fairy tale in which a young wife has to rescue her husband who has been captured by a river nymph. She receives help from a fairy godmother who gives her a golden comb and tells her to sit by the river side, combing her hair. When she finishes, she sets the comb next the river bank, and when the water's rush forward to wash the comb away, the young woman sees her husband appear above the water. Quickly, she grabs his hand, and frees him from the river.
Photoshop CS, 7 hours.

To Autumn (nudity)

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 06:04:42 +0000

I think an expert from William Blake's poem "To Autumn" goes well with this:
The narrow bud opens her beauties to
The sun, and love runs in her thrilling veins;
Blossoms hang round the brows of Morning, and
Flourish down the bright cheek of modest Eve,
Till clust'ring Summer breaks forth into singing,
And feather'd clouds strew flowers round her head.
This was a fun exercise in sort of stream of consciousness painting. I started the picture by scribbling out the background, and then just let my imagination run wild. Here is the result.

Irish Eyes

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 07:16:51 +0000

I have been inspired lately by Enayla's art, so I've been itching to do some portraits. I am very thrilled with how this one turned out, she evolved from a simple skin tone exercise into something very beautiful.
