texture

i'm all about texture these days

enjoying the layers

the softness

and the depth they bring to new backgrounds.

when i completed this piece i struggled big time, fear over took me that i would never be able to do another portrait without my teacher standing right by me.  this piece, while it is taking longer, is my own personal proof that i can paint.  with no teacher standing over me, directing me through the process, i'm still making it. tap tap tapping the paint and her face begins to pop forward, fade back, curve around. when i get into the groove i feel a power beyond me take over and i instantly know what she needs to stand on her own.  still in process, but i wanted to share.

also, are you a fan yet? suggest the page to at least 10 other facebook friends and be entered in a drawing for $10 in my shop.

antique silver, ultramarine, alizarin.

circles of grimm brothers and coffee cups.

swirled, dumped, glued... sure to induce happiness.

some people just fit so perfectly with each other, seamlessly in fact.  that's this family's story.
