Krab Jab Studio's FAERIE II

As I mention before, I was invited to participate in an art exhibit held at Krab Jab Studio. The show opens this Saturday and runs until the 27th of February. Just look at that list of names. What am I doing there??

  

My portrait artist this post is Sandra Flood. It's not that I don't like her people portraits, it's just that her animal portrait are absolutely outstanding. Such personality and expression.

Happy New Year Everyone!!

 I sort of fell off the planet there for a bit. Got this stupid gomboo that has been cycling through my family. Just when I think I'm on the mend, I come down with it again. Exhausting. Whine, whine.

So, new year, fresh start. Paying attention to what I respond to without over analyzing the reasons. I've been gathering names of portrait artists for the last couple months. Thought I would share these with you. I have always responded to portraiture, the human face having such endless possibilities. You move one little muscle and you can transform the expression. I want to explore this more this year...give in to the pull and embrace it. I've determined to post one painting that buzzed my brain everytime I blog. Let me begin with...

Stephen Bauman

"When I Was Young"

Love the simplicity and repetition of circles, especially the subtle halo. I will probably post more of his work.

So, I've been invited to participate in a Faery Art Show held at Krab Jab Studio located in Seattle, WA.
Due to the time constraints I went through some older photos my daughter had taken of her daughter and used that. Here are the progress shots and final:

After this exhibit, the paintings will be deplayed at Faerie Con. I've never done this type of show. I hope she sells but it's an honor to be included with the other wonderful artists.
