Once again I’ve been a bit slack with the old blog posts. Life is busy. What can I say? Here is a quick little post about my last painting for 2011. As usual I didn’t have a title so I put it out to my peeps on Facebook and the lovely Mel from Meliesque Art suggested I call them The Blue Belles. I loved it so that became the title. In my mind these girls were upset with their lives so decided to become runaways, sisters who were willing to escape to anywhere as long as they were together. So [tell me more, tell me more]

I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Life is busy with 2 little ones to chase after and I’ve been suffering from a bit of a creative block unfortunately (creative blocks suck btw). Good news is I think the block has lifted and I will have some new art to share very soon. Yay!! In the meantime I can finally share my finished Rock Chick painting that I did as a commission for a very dear friend of mine. This little piece was created as a gift for a Bona Fide Rock Chick from Singapore who just had a little baby rock [tell me more, tell me more]

My latest artwork is yet another mermaid. I always look at my other mermaids and just want to redo them all. Instead I thought I would just start a fresh one. I love seeing progress shots so here are a few of Coralei. I’ll explain a bit about her name in a sec. So when I started her I knew I would give her coral coloured hair so in my mind her name was Coral. As I painted her though I knew Coral wasn’t right. I even asked on my facebook page for suggestions as I wasn’t sure what to [tell me more, tell me more]

Art Store goodness and some little sketches to share

So I haven’t been able to do much painting this past week for various reasons (a teething, clingy and now sick child being the main one) but today I managed to sneak out to gather some supplies from the art store which was heaven. I swear I could lose myself in there for days. Anyway I’ve been eyeing off some stuff to carve my own stamps for a while so I grabbed some lino carving tools and a sheet of soft rubber to carve up. That will be interesting and a bit of fun. I also picked up some new [tell me more, tell me more]

A Little Bit about "Violet" from the "Mermaids for Milla"

My “Mermaids for Milla” series started out with just one little dreamy mermaid who is now known as “Violet”. I innocently asked my 3 year old daughter Milla what I should paint today. Her enthusiastic response was “Merliah”. Those of you who have little girls may know her from the Barbie movie “A Mermaid Tale”. Milla is a little obsessed with her Barbie movies at the moment and is especially enchanted by Mermaids of all shapes and sizes (who isn’t??) So anyway a Mermaid it was. I like seeing artists works in progress so here are a few little pics [tell me more, tell me more]
