Brainstorming
Taking a break from painting to Harry Potter (for now) today…because my thoughts on a topic have finally sort of slowed down enough for me to attempt coherent ness.

I may be just a tad excited
because…. I HAVE BLUE HAIR. I feel like I can legitimately say “I’m an artist” now. I finally stopped telling myself “no” (giving myself permission to be creative with my hair, not just canvas)- and then Alex surprised me by setting up an appointment for me. I feel free and beautiful. I haven’t…

Watercolor Tree
Today we started Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – and I remembered an idea I had at one point, which was to make a white tree with a blue background. Which I did, and then decided color would be interesting, so I added that as the Weasely’s were finding the Port Key.

Eye of Jupiter and Starbuck's Poem
Today while listening to Harry Potter I decided to paint some more Battlestar Galactica stuff – Starbuck had been painting this one particular thing for years by the time we actually see it in the series. The Eye of Jupiter is painted alongside a poem she wrote on her wall. I remembered it recently, and…

Bubble Fairy (and Transmutation)
So today, I got in my gaming keypad and spent the morning getting used to it while listening to some podcast about Sherlock Holmes (the movie, with RDJr.). I found a sweet spot in Nagrand above the throne of elementals where, well, all the elementals live and you can farm for motes to your hearts…

Mini Paintings
A few months ago, I posted this thing on facebook where people who commented would get a piece of art. The other day I bought little easel and canvases and thought that it would be a cool idea to use those for some of them. The 3×3 canvas on the tiny easels are really fun…

And Now For My Next Trick!
Today I cleaned out the closet in my office – and by cleaned I mean tore down the christmas tree, put it in a box and put the CD’s on the floor back in the case (there’s not a ton on the ground in my closet, just space hogs). Then I took down the prints…

Thought of the day
(well, and yesterday too) Freedom isn’t something you ask for – it’s something you give/find/take/fight for yourself. In other words, asking for permission (from others) doesn’t work. But sometimes, it’s been there all along waiting for you to to get up and allow yourself to take it. Realizing in the process, that you were the…

Six and a Raider
Today is grey. Painting Six and a Raider from BSG in a grey ship just seemed appropriate. I’m now down to my last canvas and in dire need of better detail brushes. I spent a long time trying to get the cold metallic-y feel and lighting down and contrasting with Six’s cold-yet-hott-(and kinda confusing) demeanor.…

Sold!
Over the weekend, I sold my first painting to a friend of mine. I’m super psyched. Today I got it out in the mail and plan on making some similar pieces due to popular(ish) demand. The last few days have actually been kinda busy for me. I restructured my pricing on Etsy, updated some old…
