I finished a commission last night. Paintings aren’t something I have been working on lately and it was fun to play with paint for a while. Maybe I could make a painted background piece and then layer portraits on top of it? Not a bad idea. This is what I worked on tonight including the commission….

I am digging this digital technique for layering images. The images are my photographs with added texture. Fun!

Often when I am at ArtSquare people in passing ask me if its different working amongst a group instead of alone. I tell them how odd it feels to know that there is an audience watching me as I work. Truth be told I am still shy about working in front of an audience. Here are a few pieces that I created at ArtSquare over the last few weeks. Over all I am happy with them even if making them in new environment was strange. I wonder how working there will affect my work over all.
“Girl One”
“Spring Flowers”
“King Of Hearts”

I took part in an artists’ swap wherein I sent a bunch of papers and other ephemera to another artist who compiled each pile into a package for each artist. I got some really cool stuff!

Now that my studio is all set up at Art Square I am free to come and go as I please making art on whim or just hanging out there doing ‘business’ work. Well let me just say that it is VERY different than working in my studio at home. I thought at first that I would feel self conscious but I don’t. I am leaning on tried and true techniques for now just to get used to the idea of working here. I completed this piece today, even though I have been staying away from art on canvas or paper. It doesn’t push any envelopes but I rather like it! Who knows how this studio space will influence how I work…..I am totally open to new possibilities!
