Old Painting - Kitten On Couch - 2007

You can't tell but I actually studied a picture for this painting.  Always been bad at perpective. lol Working on it.

Hand-Painted Chinese Fan

The dragon on the back did not come out as I would have liked but nothing is perfect right?

Old Painting - Grandmom Kilpatrick and Dad - 2007

This is a portrait of my Great Grandmother Rose Kilpatrick and my father sitting on her lap.  It was on a small canvas so the eyes were really hard to do.

Princess Series : Rapunzel Box

Yes I know Rapunzel didn't have a dragon but my version of rapunzel does so :-p

Princess Series : Snow White Box

Here is a start of boxes in the line of princess series 

First is Snow White

Old Painting - Graceful Ceiling - 2007

Have you ever look at clouds or a ceiling and seen images in it. Well this what I use to see when I took baths at my parents house.  An image of a baby in a bathtub surrounded by skeleton, clown and dragon.   I didn't show this one off so well.  I don't know why I picked brown as a background.  Looks much better in drawing then painting.

Nala and Smokey Story Board 1

These are the first three panels to a illustration to a children's book.  Not the final but a start. 

Old Painting - Excess IV - 2007

Just another Abstract ...

Old Painting - Excess III - 2007

This one too me looks stonehenge/ sci-fictionish. 

Old Painting - Excess II - 2007

 Another Abstract.  Some people don't consider this as abstract because I was really set on a meaning.  I think the meaning of art can come after.  Like I see this as very Georgia O'Keefe like but maybe that is just me.

Old Painting - Excess I - 2007

Ignore the date stamp.  I trying to figure out how the camera worked then I think... I call this Excess I .  I felt bad about having all this excess oil paint after done a painting so I tried abstract.  This is what I got.  No real meaning just excess. lol

Old Painting - Duck - 2007

This is done in acrylics and on paper.  I drew the duck first looking at a picture.  Again not my best but pretty good I think.

Old Painting - Dragon and Fairy - 2007

I did this painting once before and thought it was horrible and threw it out but I realize now that that first one was much better then this.  So to say the least I am not happy with this one.  Oh can you tell what is missing in this picture. lol

Dragon is missing arms.

Old Potrait - Digital Potrait 2007

I did this with photoshop I believe for another contest.   I love the color purple.  It is just a photo manipulated.

Old Painting - Devil Inside 2007

I am not going really explain this one.

Sunday Sushi - Reaching Out

This week I attended group at a new community place for people recovering from illness call The Reach Out Foundation.  Website here http://rofbucks.net/ 

The Group I attended was called Creative People in Recovery and it meets on Saturdays.

I was very anxious the whole time and I don't know whether I am going back.  

It is nice to be in a group with people who have similar interests but I was having a hard time enjoying myself.

Anyway for the week ahead I will probably show more of my old paintings.  I do have some things that are WIP like a snow white box and more Confuzzled Fae in Clay but I really having been doing much painting or crafting mostly writing. I have ideas for caricatures of Reagan and Obama in mind but have not buckled down to do them.  I have a schedule but I haven't really been following it so maybe I need to change it.  I don't know.

Have a Great Week

Old Painting - Boy in Goggles - 2007

Just in time for summer.   I could really use to go swimming now.

Yes I know his arms and hand are kinda off.  It's not perfect but I tried and if I tried for perfect I would never call it done but done it is.

This was done in Oils on Canvas

Old Painting - Balancing Act 2007

I haven't been doing much crafting or painting.  Except in my head.  I have ideas but just haven't formed them on paper or in paint.  So I thought I would show some of my old paintings.  This was for a contest that I think the theme was circus.  From just doing it from my head I think it came out pretty good. I still consider myself a amateur when it comes to painting.
