"Bounce" is done.

I got a little side-tracked after I got about 1/2 way through this painting but got back on track and now it's done. I absolutely love it.

My husband said he thinks it's my best one yet. I don't know about that but I'll take the compliment anyway.

I don't know if you can figure out what the background is....hmmm....take a guess....come on..

It's a trampoline. Ah, now you see it. I had this picture that I took of my daughter at a birthday party where the color of the dress and the lighting and everything was just great. Then I thought, well how the hell am I going to make that look like a trampoline with a screen around it? But it was critical to include it since her right hand skimming the screen was such an important part of the photo. That, and her left foot skimming the trampoline bed were the most essential points of interest in this photo. Oh, and I just knew the colors would be awesome in paint.

So let me know if you like it. Do you miss her whole face not being in it? Framed? Or not framed?

Wow, it's been a while.....sorry!

So I've finished so many paintings since my last post. I've been so damned busy with getting that last art party (at our house) together on June 4th, painting, trying to save a dying computer and transfer to a new one, and yes, being at least acting like a full time mom that I've not had any time to blog. Oh, and keeping up with advertising and press releases and all kinds of stupid crap. A lot of stuff I'd rather not be doing. I'd rather just be a mom and paint but I need to do more if I want to make any money.
So.....here's some recent pics:

"BasAsses" is now done!
I am thrilled with how it turned out and it just makes all the stressing over it seem so silly now.

The next painting I think was "Balance". It's of my friend, Val, on a balance board. She is vacation (if you can call it that) in Panama for like 5 months or something crazy like that. On facebook she posts all kinds of pics and this was one of them but it was straight on and not cropped. I cropped it and turned it and then painted it. So happy with how it looks and she's happy too!

The next one I'm working on is called, "Bounce". It's of my daughter on a trampoline but I don't know how many people will get it. Here it is so far.
