What's this?
A few weeks ago I wrote about a painting in my head, I did a rough version on an art card, and then moved on to the completed version. This is the preview – click the picture to see the completion, or go here.

Ethereal Fairy art Card
I’ve been feeling bad because I haven’t been able to paint due to being sick, so finally tonight, I decided I’d make an art card – a small, less detailed version of the one I’ve been mulling over in my head. I’m pretty proud of it, I think the 8×10 version will be much better…

My Process
I like to call my process “painting in my head” – mostly because that’s the easiest and most apt way to put it. Sometimes I sit down and feel a painting out, and sometimes I use things for inspiration, but most of the time, I have the painting already in my head. I spend a…

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,…

A Block Of Sky
The last night in Oregon was stunning. We drove through the desert to this place overlooking the town we had been staying in. The bright clouds clashed against the dark sky creating a perfect backdrop for the final scene of our business there. As we were driving I was wishing I’d be able to somehow…

Peak Above the Clouds
Last night I sat down to paint the view from the plane as I remembered (except for the fairy, she just seemed fitting). It took a long time, because I thought that my 16×20 canvas was more appropriate a size for a mountain I could see from my neighbor’s window over the wing. I noticed…

Painting Ceramics
Today we went to a pottery place and painted our own ceramics. They’ll bake them and gloss them and give them back to us on Friday. I made my very own tea set (because I don’t actually own one). First I was just going to make these two cups… But as we went along, the…

Painting in my Head (#12)
Yesterday, while we were on our walk/hike I stopped and paused and started painting in my head – visualizing the image I was going to paint – and then did a really really rough 5 second sketch in my notebook and called it a day. This morning I created a 6×6 painting of what was…

Watercolor on the West Coast #9 and #10
Yesterday, I woke up feeling sort of bad and didn’t end up doing anything, so this morning (still sickish) I made two pieces. The first, for yesterday, I just drew in my notebook, and the second is inspired by a friend. 🙂 Hopefully we’ll all get over whatever we’re coming down with quickly.
