I worked on two paintings tonight. One is a continuation of the Diana Portraits project, where I laid down a second underpainting layer on a new test portrait. The other painting I worked on was the Complete Contentment Celtic piece, which is finally nearing completion.
In October I was approached about creating a minimalist painting of a wolf for a tattoo design. The specific concept was a wolf, walking up a hill, pauses to look back over its shoulder at the viewer.
This oil painting of a woman on a beach is a commissioned piece, cover art for the novel Mermaid Drowning.
This finished painting is a still life featuring candles and pumpkins, a devotional piece to the sabbat of Samhain, the Celtic new year.
This vest is a little larger than the Violin Vest, but based on the same pattern type. One side is brown cotton canvas, and the other side is a black and brown silk brocade with a diamond pattern. The accent stripes on both sides were created in the silk brocade. It has a mandarin collar and eppaulettes.
Further progress on two oil paintings, a Samhain themed still life, and an ocean landscape painting.
On Tuesday, the 16th of October 2012, I worked on one painting, the cover art for Mermaid Drowning.
On the evening of October 8, 2012 I worked on two oil paintings. I added another layer to the book cover for Mermaid Drowning, and I resumed work on the Samhain Candles still life. I hope to have both paintings finished before the end of the month.
Wonder of wonders, on Thursday the 4th of October I finally sat down and got out my oil paints for the first time since moving to Las Vegas.
My parents are preparing to publish their very first novel, and I am creating the cover art for them. The title of the novel is Mermaid Drowning. The cover art depicts the main character, Evelyn, watching the sunset at the beach with a storm looming on the horizon.
