Giraffe and Zebra

Well I think today worked out I polished off my two pieces.  Over all we are happy.  Now its back to doing some school work (Setting up for next semester soo much reading) and enjoying a well deserved rest, of family and festivities.  

Finishing the Elephant

Well I finished up the work on the elephant.  There is always more to do but I think I'm happy enough with her.

Finishing touches

Finishing touches on my cat piece.  Now its petting the other where we need them to be.

Poem

Well I was asked to write a poem about one of my pieces.  

I'm not much of a lyricist but here is how it went.

Melancholy Moments 

Expressive wonder and all that that implies.

A painting is moment in time, 

something we want to capture, but gone the next. 

We try to name it put our words to it,

but through it we only find that our words are insufficient. 

Its only in our imagination are we free to dream.

So that even in the melancholy moments

 we can find our hope.

So thats what this piece means to me.

I hope you keep on dreaming and,

letting the sad in with the happy, 

because it is only then that we can enjoy those moments

Milk

Well Just finished hanging the Milk show.  Its only four pieces but with the wide range of other artists I think its worth checking out. 

Hope to see you there on Saturday 2-5pm.
Always, and forever Irene

Hendrix

Worked a little more on Hendrix but time is running out an I think I'm happy enough now.  Or so it would appear till tomorrow.  :)

Massaging once again

Well I massaged Cher and joss stone a little bit.  Part of being an artist is that there is always better out there its just if you have the skill to do it.

Massage

Just got back from Mick's.  Let just say subtly is not my strong suit, but I'm starting to see some value in it.  I just have to massage my technique.  Here are some of the pieces I started to massage.  Cher's colour is completely off but its on it way.  

Mick's Irish Pub

Fringe festival is almost upon us.  So I have talked with the owners of Mick's Irish Pub, and they have kindly allowed me to paint at there establishment.  So from thursday the 26th -  sunday the 29th.  I'm going to be on stage an painting on site.  If anyone feels like joining me hopefully we'll sit have a pint and enjoy the summer month while its still here.  :)

Ape Depth.

Well I've been working on giving one my paintings a little more depth.  Adding a more sculptural element to them.  Overall I'm really happy with the results but I have to wait on experimenting some of my favourite pieces.  

Well I'm finally done my 1984 piece.  She is not perfect but I'm proud of her and I don't say that very often.  I hope you guys enjoy.

The turtle

Well I finally sold my mammoth turtle. I'll miss her but I'm proud that she is out there where she can be enjoyed by other people, besides just by me.

Milk setup

Well were finally up at milk. She took a while but I'm happy with the results. I hope many of you come down to see it. before the painting you want are sold. Good luck.
