A Little Turn

I'm in unchartered territory, but that's where all the growth happens. I've been painting from vintage photos. This one was a dancer standing with her head craned at a strange angle. I decided to turn her, changed the face completely, and added what I thought was an interesting atmosphere.

"Spirit of the Night"

This painting was inspired by one of my favorite works of artist John Atkinson Grimshaw. There is a cheap print hanging in my home that I have never been able to part with; something about it really speaks to me. Decided to try my own rendition and made a time-lapse video of the process which is posted on my Instagram page here.

Angels (2)

I love how different angles show different emotions. In the past I have painted her looking more protective. For these two I wanted to show sadness or heartache.

She's another one I am inclined to do a series of.

Snow Angel

Snow angels remind me of the magic of childhood. I will never forget teaching both of my boys how to make them. Each would plop into the fluffy snow and move their arms and legs as strong as they could. I would help them up so not to disturb their creations... The look on their faces when they turned and saw what they made! Pure joy.

An Angel (Twice)

Was feeling in the Christmas spirit and decided to paint a beautiful angel two ways. Think perhaps I could have done even more--she was so great to paint. An interesting perspective makes these so appealing to me; I can't decide which one I like better!
