A Recent Watercolor Style...

I have a tendency to work in a variety of styles...surrealism, realism..CHICKENS...and also-- abstracted nature? This is the best way I can describe this type of art I have been doing, (on and off), for the last year or two. I find it relaxing because it starts out with the wet into wet technique (with watercolors), and ends with a lot of fun detail! (and I love detail :)-- here I find the best of both worlds in terms of creation. I used both watercolor and gouache in this painting.

I'm Throwing Caution to the Wind...I've decided to list Originals..

Yes it's true! I've decided to start listing some of my larger originals on Etsy. I was reluctant to do so for the longest time, as I was not sure if people would want to shell out that much money on the internet. I've come to the conclusion though, what do I have to loose, other than the listing fee?...So here I am listing larger originals :)-- and when I say larger originals, I mean anything over 4 by 6 inches :)

I listed this one tonight. It is called "In Separation of Continents" and was created on 140 lb. watercolor paper using watercolor and gouache. I was going for a beautiful yet melancholy feeling with this one :)....perhaps with a tad bit of nostalgia...

I Need to Go to the Beach...

Really, I do! :) Given that I'm from the midwest, it seems to be a unique experience to suddenly be living near the ocean. I've been here about a year, and the novelty has still not worn off. I don't get out there as often as I would like because I've been really busy the last couple of months-- between my day job, my studio, and my Etsy stuff. I would like to get out there at least twice a month. I have no idea how long I will live in Savannah...could be one more year, or it could be 20 years. With this in mind, I think I need to fully appreciate it :)

I did a custom Alchemy Order! :)

Yeah! This is very exciting to me...I generally get...the "convobot regrets"...etc....YOU SUCK!!!! no!!! ....This time I got a yes :)...so exciting! :) This is what I created for someone :)...It's a Rowan leaf, for a little girl named Rowan :) I like how this one turned out...tomorrow I'm off to start another custom order...a 4 leaf clover! :)...In my "Greene Fairy" style...I hope it turns out well! :)....
