Fairy Houses
Yesterday, I made a fairy house with my sister-in-law. Today, though, I have a cold 🙁 So I’m sitting on the couch listening to harry potter too tired to paint. I’m trying to decide now how to mix whimsical hollow with sleek modern style for my office….And whether or not I should put a canopy…

Watercolor Preview
Working on an idea from a friend today while listening to The Goblet of Fire, thought I’d share a preview. Then I stared at it and decided I hated the thumb, so I’ve since changed it and feel much better.

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.

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

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.…

Book: Act or Die (notes)
In preparation for our film, aside from getting the camera equipment and such, we also bought a book (one of a few, I’m sure) called Act or Die. If the title isn’t a give-away it’s all about acting, but it’s also recommended for directors. It came in the mail today and I got about…

Season Fairies
Continuing with my fairy theme, I decided to use the 3 5×7 (thin) canvases and create a small series – I’m calling it the Season Fairies. Spring, Summer, and Fall are represented in the 5×7 format – I didn’t do winter because I already had a snowflake 11×14 that did a great job of capturing…

Why Fairies?
“She’s my fairy” “But there’s no such thing as a f-” “Don’t say that. Every time someone says that, a fairy somewhere falls down dead!” – Peter Pan Fairies are strong beautiful creatures whose power keeps the world in order. They bring change, seasons, and put the world to sleep at night. They are timid,…
