She's the apple of our eye and I love to paint her. I did this little ACEO (3.5" x 2.5") original watercolor a few weeks ago, but it took forever for me to get around to scanning then listing it for sale on etsy. But, she's there now. It was a quick sketch while watching her swim, then finished it off with watercolors. I've noticed there are a lot of birds on Etsy, maybe too many? So, I'm dedicated to bringing awareness to the wonderfull beauty of goldfish or fish in general. I just have one so I paint her. Lately, she's been hitting the filter intake causing the filter to rattle. We tend to think she does it so we go up there to make it stop rattling. As soon as we sit, she's hit it again and looks at us. She's a prankster sometimes. LOL.
I just sold "Green Chair with Pillow!"
I'm still having a sale so check out
to see what it marked down up to 50 % off.
I finally got around to scanning in two paintings that are relatively new. They are original, watercolor paintings and are for sale at http://victoriasart.etsy.com along with my other paintings and prints.
I particularly like the pillows one. I love the colors and I spent a lot of time on the detail which is hard to see in a jpg on the computer.
What I've been up to lately (artistically):
Not much.
But, that's going to change. I'm commissioned to paint a cat for someone and I have finished studying for my exam and will now devote my time to that and my Christmas card design.
Although, I've been sketching in my sketchbook. I've been drawing lots of caricatures and heads. I keep thinking I should scan them because they are quite interesting, but I never get around to it. Scanning is always a chore lately. I need inspiration.
Christmas Card:
Every year I design my own Christmas card. Sometimes it is in flash (if I have loads of time to spare) and sometimes it starts off in Flash and ends up as an image and then to a card. The year before last, my fiance and I were snowmen and a little creature hopped around. We had some crazy synth sounds for the jingle bells song we made on the keyboard. Last year, we were dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus and the little animal was a new color. I made vector drawings of some of the electronic music equipment we were playing. This one wasn't animated. I didn't have time.
This year, we're going to go a different route and be a little political. Surprise, so I'm not going to describe it now. I still haven't started drawing santa and frankly, not in the mood. But, I better get in the mood soon.
