Work in Progress

A custom painting!  Woohoo!  After a day on Etsy, I was contacted by my first customer wanting a painting originally done for him!  It is based off the Fathoms Below painting already on Etsy, but has some additions to it and is on a 20 x 24 gallery canvas instead of a 8 x 10 canvas board.  It is nearly done, but still needs some work done.  I figured to put some photos of the work thus far would be fun to show! Hurray!

Help in the Studio

Occasionally, visitors come to the studio to see how work is doing. Sometimes they help while other times they are highly critical.  During this visit, I think Pollux has come to give support to my artistic efforts.

Another painting!

This weekend saw another completion of a painting and two others in the works.  One in the works is for a client!  My very first! How fun! This post, is of course, on the completed painting: an acrylic of blue bubbler jellies.  Jellies are some of the most lovely animals to watch swim in the ocean or otherwise.  Their movement is both chaotic and peaceful simultaneously.

First Signs of Art!

This is all so exciting, with starting a blog and opening an Etsy store! To get things started, here are the first two pieces of art in the store.  They are both watercolor and ink on 8 x 10 canvas board.  As with everything I will sell, these are originals.  I don't believe in making prints (unless it's photography!).  Enjoy!
