The detailed freak in me thrived painting this stunning bouquet last year. Shall we look back and see how these details came to life? Voila! Or at least something like this... Just lots of layer after layer, shading and highlighting and molding and adding details. I'm not a very good sketcher, but I find that for important pieces like bouquets and portraits I have to make sure things are in the right places. Having a grid is a [...]
The painting is absolutely stunning! We both had tears in our eyes when I opened it. I've always wanted a piece by you but never would have dreamed that he [my husband] would ever commission one for me. What a huge surprise! It is amazingly beautiful and the background color is just perfect. A huge thank you. - L.L.B. of Sweden Linn's Bridal Bouquet was commissioned by a client in Sweden who wanted a special gift for his [...]
The last outdoor art show for 2010 brought us to Richmond, Va. It's about a 2 hour drive from DC but can easily turn into much longer due to traffic which it did on October 15 when we headed down. Those times it's good to have friends who live on the way down. Thanks DD and Kenneth for a awesome meal in old town Fredericksburg! Richmond always seem to treat me really well! This time, I sold my [...]
DAY 4: SUNFLOWER IN PURPLE We're already onto day 4 of our Painting Challenge - welcome! Today it's all about joy and we're painting one of my favorite flowers, the sunflower. Painting with this yellow color will hopefully brighten your day a little bit. Sometimes yellow can feel a bit too intense, which is why I blended it with some brown tones for this sunflower. The center is almost a black charcoal [...]
DAY 12: Charles Fluffy Ear Welcome to Day 12! So far in this challenge we've tapped into creative joy by painting mostly delightful flowers, and today we're venturing into something I paint every day: pets. My pet portraits are highly sought after and I'm lucky to have a long waitlist of commissions to paint beloved dogs and cats. This has been my speciality as a fine arts painter for over a decade and I love [...]
DAY 10: PAINT THE FEELING OF LOVE Welcome to Day 10 my friend! Today I offer a word prompt to tap into our hearts to allow for our art to flow from a feeling of love. It may seem a bit silly to paint a feeling, but painting something we want to manifest can be quite profound. Painting with a feeling of love will also allow you to sit in this wonderful energy while you're [...]
DAY 9: CHOOSE YOUR PALETTE Welcome to Day 9 of the Painting Challenge! It can be liberating to not paint a subject at all and paint abstract. Now, for professional abstract painters there's a bit of a structure to how they paint but today we're just simply focusing on picking a palette and just going with it. Below you see two of my abstract paintings. Each with its own color palette. Today's challenge is to [...]
{Fiver, the puppy. Original acrylic in progress} I recently asked followers on Facebook to send in photos of their pets as I want to practice painting dogs and cats etc. I was overwhelmed by adorable photos! Thank you everyone! I started working on Fiver last night and think he's just so cute with his one ear sticking up. :) Can't wait to finish him. I'm also working on a larger piece that you can see peaking out in [...]
DAY 14: SPIKE'S NOSE Welcome to Day 14 of the Painting Challenge! Wow two weeks of playfully painting is fantastic! I hope you're proud of yourself. I'm definitely proud of you. We're continuing this challenge with another main aspect of a pet portrait, a darling nose. This nose belongs to a beloved German Shorthaired Pointer named Spike. I had the honor of painting his memorial a few years ago. If you've ever had a [...]
