I’m Alive! (sort of…)
I’m sorry I disappeared like that, a lot has happen recently. Multiple family members have came down and visited, my son got scarlet fever (don’t worry he’s fine), and just little things here and there. But now things are quieting down and I can get some work done now. Speaking of work, I spent all of last week working on this acrylic painting:
There you go! “Stubborn” redone. This is done in acrylics and took me about 40-50 hours to paint, compared to the 15 or so on the original (it was a speed painting contest). It definitely looks like I imagined it to be and I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I’ll be including this at the upcoming Leprecon 36 here in Phoenix next month. For reference, here is the original version, done in Watercolor paints:
It has been a while since my last acrylic painting and I forgot how much more detailed you can get with them than with watercolors. My husband has been trying to get me to use acrylics more because he enjoys the bright, vivid colors that they have. I had to go out and purchase several new colors and replacement paints as several of my other ones were almost empty or dried up, and they had a nice sale on paints so I grabbed a few new colors. I plan on using acrylic’s for my next few paintings as well.
I’ve got two 5-foot panels that I’ll have my art on at Leprecon, and planning on putting some stuff in the print gallery as well. A few of my Flower Fashion Fairies will be up for sale as originals and prints, and a few other new paintings that I hope to have finished in time. I won’t be at the booth or the con itself, but if you’re attending feel free to stop by and let me know what you think of my stuff – or even better, purchase some of it 
.
Phoenix Comicon is coming up next month as well and I’ve got several ideas on what to have there. I’ll be helping out at the Tiny Army booth for a few hours and will have some prints, ACEO’s, and other stuff for sell. I’ll give you more details on that as it gets closer.
Speaking of getting stuff finished in time, I need to get going on the next painting! See ya!
Wonderful blog, nice artwork beautiful work 50 hours I sure would like to see a bigger picture. I hope to see your work live someday.
Thanks for the compliments. I’ve got a bigger version of it in my Fantasy Art Gallery on my website. I’ll be having several of my works at the upcoming Leprecon on May 14-16, and likely at the Phoenix Comicon on May 22 where I’m planning to be helping out at the Tiny Army booth.
