Red Fairy

Okay, so I told you I was having some inspiration, but having some trouble with painting. I am getting frustrated with the acrylics. They are drying out too fast as I use them and they don't flow and mix the colors. Soooo, I am dreaming of oil paints. Not just dreaming, but I am starting to use them!!!!

I really love watercolor, too,  but there is nothing like the workability of oils. So here is The Red Fairy that I painted with acrylics. It took me way longer to paint than it "should" have.

Spring Inspiration

Okay, so it's spring. Which means a lot of spring cleaning and planting of the garden. And new inspirations for artwork. I have started FIVE new paintings. But it is slow going... for me.... it is always slow going when painting.

What are you doing this spring and what is inspiring you???

Do you need any advice? Remember, Aunt Jane gives good advice!

I'm baa-a-a-acck

OK, so I was gone for a long time. My computer crashed. Ha! Just like the economy. Well, I have new work to show you. Here is a photo above. And remember, Aunt Jane CARES. So if you have anything to whine about and/or want advice about, let her rip!!!!

Hard Core Reality

Hard-core reality can be hard to take. That's why sometimes I like to escape into fantasy land: It's nicer there. The good guys always win.

I created this image of a fairy. It is truly mixed media. I started out with colored pencils, moved to watercolors and then finished it off on the computer with The Gimp!

Only problem is, when I printed it out on my crappy printer, it did not print true! I guess I have to get it professionally printed because I cannot do it with the resources I have at home.

Thanks for looking and if you have any problems you would like me to help you with, drop me a line here and I will answer all posts!
