Brand new oils can only compare to a bag of candy for me ;) The results of such.
I hope you're all enjoying the long weekend!

18x24 Oil on Canvas

The 3rd is finished for London. She might have a bit of influence from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo unconciously as I have been immersed in that book all week while simultaneously creating this piece, but happy how it turned out regardless. And happy as well that I finally decided to pick up that book, it was staring at me for far to long.

"Beauteous Refined"

18x24 oil on canvas

I have the 2nd oil painting to finally share with you which is for my client and exhibition in London, I had to go through some touch ups and yes with oils it is a patient process. ( a good lesson for a slightly impatient person as myself). This one was based on a beauty shot from the talented Jan Welters. I am going through some of my favorite photographers for this entire series, so honestly I am more then anxious and excited to get going on the third.

Also with the cat and mouse game of trying to get caught up on this oh so amazing busy month that is December, . I am still not done with shopping for Christmas, but today woke up to at least 10 inches of snow here in Denver, the car is staying put and a hot long bath instead.. of course..

Hope you are all having a wonderful week...

18x24" Oil on Canvas

She is done! The first of my Paolo Roversi series.

I was reminded of my paitence again by pulling out the oils, cannot believe how long it has been since I have created in that media, and I promised myself not to let that happen again. I really enjoy that medium, almost meditative for me. She is also the 1st of some exclusive work that I will be doing for someone (will share soon) and she is coming with me to London for an exhibition in March!! Omg so excited!! I will keep you all informed as I know more.

I hope you all had a wonderful week, weekend and Thanksgiving here is the States.. I can tell you one thing, I am so very thankful for all of you xo
