I thought I’d show you all a couple of things I’ve painted and finished recently within the last couple of weeks. A few of them still need minor tweaking. I’ve finished quite a few more lately too, but I just didn’t photograph them yet. ^I used a picture I found online for this painting, but when it was …
WIP (Day 4, 5, & 6)
I didn’t get any in progress pictures these last few times around, but I wanted to post an update on where the painting is at. There hasn’t been a lot of big changes, just lots of little work the last few sessions… I put in the old red truck but took it out again because the proportions …
Day 3 (WIP)

And why, do you ask, was …

Velvet Cape
Tassel detail, Fabric detail, and Clasp detail: I had been in a rush to get this in to submit it for a magazine before the deadline, but I wasn’t able to finish it in time to mail it in before the deadline. It was for Belle Armoire, which had a challenge for something …
Newspaper Dress – WIP
