An Art Work A Day

Another thank you to somesai at Flickr for her being kind and allowing me use of her photos as reference.


This one I made a so and so framing with for the guild's fair so that a possible buyer can take it out and mount it in an oriental way if he or she would like that.


This weekend I have spent a lot of my time getting ready for the fair. It is amazing how much time passes just sorting through works and trying to decided which one to put in what frame and which mount etc etc. Since this is to be hung on Thursday, the local mount makers are not too happy about questions about specially made sizes this late, so all in all - same procedure as every time. Too late and stressing like mad. I have no less than 5 paintings at the framer - none will be finished in time. Well, there is other places and other times to show them. I find myself not taking this so serious this time and hopefully that means that I will not focus on sales that much but just enjoy showing off my work and talking to other artists.

$100 p&p worldwide included

This first one is at resent on its way to Massahusets along with the lizard pair and the panda I posted in October which is in the similar style. I want to thank somesai and her fantastic photos on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/somesay/ again which she kindly allowed me to use for reference when practicing painting pandas.




Sue M posted a lovely carolina chickadee to the group reference photos for artists - http://www.gather.com/viewImage.jsp?fileId=3096224744462530
of course I had to have a go. It did not turn out perfect but nice enough for a sketch.


Finally here are two more of the miniature chicks I did last week.

Yesterday I practiced painting pandas in ink. I want to thank to somesai and her fantastic photos on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/somesay/ which she kindly allowed me to use for reference when practicing. I will definately practice more pandas. The shape seems easy, problem is how to show the white on white.
