New Works in Progress

6/6/2015

In preparation for an upcoming multi-artist show at Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, Louisiana, I've been painting as much as I can.  I hoped to have a whole show's worth of brand new paintings that haven't even been on the site yet.  Of course, I usually work on several paintings at the same time and rotate working on them, so not every one I'm working on will be there next week.  I haven't made as many as I would have liked.

Sometimes I like to hide my work until it's really complete, but then, as the saying (paraphrased) goes, artists seldom finish works, but just abandon them.

Since some collectors or art enthusiasts enjoy seeing the works in progress, I'll share some I've been working on lately.

The first is a pet portrait I chose to do for nobody in particular.  I love painting animals, and pugs are so "cutegly," this was the perfect choice.  Pet portraits are some of my favorite paintings to do.
I am always working on the underwater series.  Two are already done and in my gallery, but there are 6 already sketched and planned out.  There is a little story to the series, but I'll wait until they're all done to share that.  Here is one I just recently started.  As you can see, I don't often stick with my original placement.  I paint, I step back and look, then I repaint to balance what doesn't look right.  The details will fill in later, but I like to get basic placement right before I move on to the special touches.   This one has a long way to go and has changed significantly since these pictures were taken.
My treble and bass clef paintings are possibly my most popular.  I customize them for commission clients, but these sketches show one I designed completely from my head.  I'm thinking the snake will be a copperhead.  Copperheads are such beautiful but dangerous snakes.  I guess my art sort of reflects the strong woman I strive to be:  Beautiful but strong and never to be underestimated.  That's why my mermaids are half shark.
So, there you have it, a little preview of works coming up.  Hope to see you at Lakeside Mall Sunday afternoon.
