Backyard Martini

Backyard Martini/8x10"

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Diff'rent Strokes

I picked these up a few weeks ago at Tuesday Morning (of all places).



I don't know if this style of brush is old news to y'all, but I've never seen them before.
I imagine they might be found in the Crafts aisle of your AC Moore/Michael's. I normally only visit that aisle for paints and sometimes varnishes. I generally get my brushes from the brush display in the Fine Art side of the store.

I just had to get them. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

ANTM: Makeovers and Swim Suits

Most Improved: Samantha (That haircut is vicious!)


Simply beautiful.



Most Grateful For: Isis not poppin' her candy during the swim suit shoot!


No volleyball for me, thank you.

Shortest Project Runway Recap Ever!

This week, I have just one thing to say...





PS. Buh Bye, Joe. You were just too...

Margaret Ann...and friends

Va-Va-Voom! Girl/Bathing Beauty: Margaret Ann
10x30"/Acrylic on canvas

The Va-Va's continue to evolve.
I think I'm settling on going heavier with the POP impact (more outlines than shading).

Here's a Cleavage Painting (I have another pet-name that might get me in trouble for this possible series). I will file this one under Va-Va-Voom! Girls for now.


"Two Strands"/10x10"


I've also had some fun in the studio today with some silly, purely-pop images I plan to develop.


Martian with blond ponytail/10x10"
I'm considering doing a series of Alien paintings as kid (or kid-at-heart) art.

And then there's Tini...


Tini says.../8x10"

I need to play around with this one. I'm not thrilled with the piece (it's not even a "piece") but I am pretty excited about the idea. I was basically playing/thinking right on the canvas. I think I might do a "Tini and Friends" series. So far I know there will be a champagne flute (filled of course) named Bubbles and of course a sassy gal named Margarita. There will be either a six-pack or pitcher of beer (my friend Nicole suggested I name him Bud). Obviously this one won't be aimed at the kiddies. LOL!

I won't reveal my plans for Bloody Mary yet...I'll just say this:
The deeply religious might not like it.
I'm sketching some out some possibilities (might scan and post later this week).
This silliness, literally, all just came to me this afternoon.

The New Face of Covergirl!

Ellen Degeneres.

How freakin' cool is that?!
I didn't know they had it in them. Bravo!

What's next...a transgendered Tyra-protege spokesmodel?

A Not-so-Good Day...

Orion,

Thank you for the love, the laughs and unyielding loyalty.

Thank you for the smooches and the big furry hugs.







We've been so fortunate to have you in our lives.

You will be terribly missed.
