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

New Painting =)

Quickie just to post my new painting and first officially framed painting ever =)

Graphite and acrylics on watercolor paper. 12" x 12"

Still unnamed and sadly I forgot to scan it   duh for me ....  

Hubby raised his hands when I was thinking on selling her when I go back home, he wanted it to be ours and now this lovely painting is living with us from now on

We'll see if we can scan it and upload the pic without the glass, it looks so cute that I don't want to mess with the back T.T

Well, that's it for now, I believe I will write when I go back to Mexico in a couple of weeks
See you then! have a wonderful week

Love
Diana
