Looking Close

25% off sale is extended until 12am tonight! 

I wanted to extend the sale and add the 2 newest paintings into the shop! Use Code : SPRING25 for 25% off!

I also wanted to show you some close ups for the new paintings and explain why I used what I did! 

These are some of my favorite works so far and I wanted them to be included in the sale! I've included some details and closeups of the paintings. 

Sterling brought me home Danish farmers almanacs from the 1920's once. He found them inside an old trailer he was working on. They smelled awful. They had been sitting in storage for years!

I was elated when he brought them home. After they aired out and were cleaned, I looked through each page.. putting bookmarks in for future ideas.

This woman's bust started out from an ad from the old farmers almanac. This one was 1923 I think. The painting also has charts and dates of moon phases and planetary alignments behind paint.

 The owl was free handed with no reference photos. In my original photograph that was a light from someone's porch, but I didn't wand houses in this, so I chose to paint an owl of similar hue.

Owls have been showing up a lot for me. Barn owls especially. This one in particular reminds me of a memory where I came face to face with an owl.

He was perched on pole directly in front of me, he seemed to glow in the dark night sky. We only caught a glimpse of each other. Before I could take a breath of pure awe, he stepped off his pole. His body dropped, but his head remained, eyes still locked with mine. And with a swoop of his wings, he flew upward revealing the moonlight.

Original Prints 

This next piece I called "Your Voice" I started out not knowing where it would go. I've already blogged a bit about this piece earlier, so I won't mention too much more, but I did want to point out, that the cathedral painted in there is The Cathedral of The Madeline. This is the cathedral I'm constantly taking photos of and posting on Instagram. The other papers and ephemera in this painting are from old books from the 1960's.

Getting Into The Rhythm Again and Announcing a Sale

I've finally gotten back into the rhythm of things when it comes to work. Well a little. I'm still feeling a shift taking place, and I'm learning to honor that. Learning to not force creativity and do what I feel like doing. Yesterday I sat down to work on the Tarot Deck but nothing was coming. In fact I've done the Page of Wands like 3 times now! I just can't seem to like it. So, I sat down and drew a Kelpie. I have a few ideas on mythological creatures and incorporating them into my art, possibly a future book, or an oracle deck. But we will see. I'm still needing to focus on the other two decks before I seriously start something else. 

 I started some doodles for the Knight of Wands. I've decided to do the court cards as elementals.. As each suit represents an element. I've decided to have the Suit of Wands as fire fairies and I totally love the Knight of Wands so far. I'm still working on the Page of Wands.. 

I wanted to do a little sale for the remainder of the month! 

I'm finally moved in and the shop is ready to go. I've re-listed tons of prints and paintings. 

I've got my shipping station set up and everything is ready to go.

So I decided to run a sale to get the shop back into the rhythm of things.

Enter the code Hooray25 for 25% off everything in the art shop!

3rd Times a Charm

So last February I bought that continuous ink printer. Within the first month I had severe errors to where it wouldn't print. I took it into the print shop. He fixed it and gave it back. The next day it got that same error. I took it back in, and he fixed it. I brought it home and within a week or so the printer was no longer printing black! I was pretty frustrated. I picked my brand new printer up for the 3rd time yesterday. The owner of the printer shop said it should work, and I'm really putting my faith into it. Again. I've never had this bad of luck with printers. In fact, I'm an extremely lucky person. Having picked this printer up 3 times now, I know it will work... because 3rd times a charm. It's time to get some prints out! To celebrate my now perfectly working printer, I'm having a May Day sale! 

May Day used to be one of my favorite holidays in elementary school. I remember decorating a May Pole with the other kids. I know tomorrow is May Day, but it's also Beltane, which starts today..  I'm hoping to celebrate with a sale in the art shop, and a bonfire with Sterling out back. I may even make my own mini Maypole... because, why not?

Huge Art Sale!

I really enjoy painting. So much that I have tons and tons of canvases. Sadly I'm running out of room! Almost all of the paintings in my shop no longer feel like "My Style." (If you are an artist, you totally know what I mean.) And they are taking up so much room. So, I decided to do a bold thing...

I decided to clear out my inventory by having a huge art sale.

I reduced over 50 original paintings by 50%! 

Some of these paintings are huge, and some are small..

But each one is now priced 50% off it's original price.

The sale will last about a month, and after the sale, these paintings will be taken down forever. 

(If you want one, but can't get it for more than a month, message me and I will reserve it for you.) 

Check out my sale section.  Share, tweet, and spread the word...  I would really appreciate the help in finding these paintings homes! I can't wait for the new line, but I've got to find space first!!
