Spring Tulips

I just finished a tryptych for my friend Joy & I thought I'd post the pics from the process. She had a pic from a magazine & we went off that for the final images. Turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself :)

New Projects!

So I currently have about 4 projects going right now & last night I decided it was time to work on/finish a few of them. The first one was finishing the second Fractured Crate piece & then photographing it to put up on Etsy. Check it off the list! (click here to see the listing on Etsy)

The next project was inspired by the small pieces of crate I'd cut for the project above. I used small pieces, drew a city on them with oil pastel, and poured wax over the entire thing. I also created a stamp from a picture of a guy I saw in a 1950's encyclopedia I bought at the thrift store. I'm going to create multiples of him and place them across the city. We'll see how it turns out :)

Last but not least, I've been working on this canvas for some time now just testing things out here & there: the placement of the screen, the colors, etc. So far I like the look-I actually taped out layered of paint to make a grid & came back with the lighter color to make the blocks. Last night I put the metal pieces on by sewing them with a thin metal wire & I plan to put the screen back over the bright metal. Not finished yet but getting there!
