New Piece - Destiny

I can finally call this girl "finished"




"DESTINY"
Acrylic & Pencil on Wood
9 1/8 in x 6 3/8 in

I'm very very happy with how this turned out, I was concerned about loosing her, I was really in love with the pencil stage! I'm very happy I could make her justice with the acrylic paints  =)  I'm very satisfied with the achievements with this little image.

Thanks for looking! ^^

Good Thoughts - Finished Art

I finally finished this lady!



"Good Thoughts"
Pencil on Paper (acid free 190gr/m2)
5.5" x 8.5"

Got a bit rush of inspiration by discovering the works of Fuyuko Matsui. Playing with concepts and trying to add something a bit meaningful instead of just working on a lovely nude lady. I just wish that the scanner could have got the texture right, this is too sharp, the original is softer looking.

Also, I lost a bit the fear of drawing a different nose, this one reminds me to my own hehehe, I spend too much time critiquing my nose, I know. So I wanted to give this girl a more "non-perfect" look to her nose (<-for hollywood standards).

I like to work with this weird ideas
=)

Thanks for looking
Have a wonderful evening

Good Thoughts Wip (drawing)

WIP of a drawing I'm making and trying to finish =)





Bad thing for me right now is that I have some problems with my eyes, not sure what's in the environment today but certainly is something that's messing with my poor eyes... and hubby's too.. =|

I hope to finish it in a couple hours... and well, scan it tomorrow morning when hubby is not glued to the PC playing Sim City   =D 


Have a great evening <3

Good Evening <3

Today I had a bit of a rush of old memories, when I used to have a horse.
Brought a bit of tears to my eyes actually... 

Started a search on Etsy for some cute horse art, and I found this little plaques with lovely quotes for the horse lovers, I absolutely loved 2, just wanted to drop the links here because I really want to get them once I get to pay a big loan I have pending:




Horses lend us the wings we lack



I train horses ... to eat carrots
Images and craft work goes to Dawn from EquineExpressionsbyD on Etsy

Can't wait to have them <3

Fuyuko Matsui

Just found myself attracted to the art of Fuyuko Matsui, a Japanese artist.

I love how she can translate her ideas into images, how she creates a story using traditional elements of Japanese art that were lost in time. And I feel very respectful of her worries about the society she lives in.

 

I'm leaving this links here so I can inspire myself a bit with her words and her images <3
