Oh the things you will do!

This painting is my "Dr. Seuss painting." It started out as just wanting a painting that had a yellow background because I do a lot of black backgrounds. Then I had all these pretty colors and I kept adding and adding and the way the colors turned out reminded me of something out of a Dr. Seuss book. So I searched and searched for a quote that I liked, and I found a couple that I really liked but this one has always been my favorite. And this time, instead of painting on the words, I used a sharpie paint pen to write them in. This has proven to be the EASIEST way to paint words and I like it. :)

Coke bottle cherry blossoms

This painting is my most recent one. I'm am absolutely IN LOVE with this painting! I saw it done similarly on Pinterest and decided I had to do it myself. The one I saw on Pinterest was done on a plain white canvas but I love green so I decided a little color would be nice. I didn't have a brown so I made it using blue, orange and red and it turned out beautiful! And then there's the cherry blossoms. I took an empty 20 oz coke bottle and dipped the bottom into the paint and it makes perfect cherry blossoms. I love the way the colors look together, the green and the pink really pop. This is by far my favorite painting so far.

Double Rainbow! OOOOOOOH

This is one of my latest paintings. I saw the quote somewhere while surfing the web and it just stuck with me. I found a thing of sticky letter stencils and I tried using them but they didn't work out like I wanted them to. I still like the painting a lot though.

The quote says: Count your rainbows, not your thunderstorms. 

July 19th 2013

Time for more art!! This particular project was actually supposed to be a four piece project but it turned out to only be three. I wanted to do the stages of a day. Dawn, Day, Dusk and Night, but the Dawn and Dusk looked so much alike that I just made one and it can be which ever one I choose at any particular time. ^__^

Dawn and Dusk:

It actually didn't turn out how I wanted it but I kind of like it. Not my favorite out of the three pieces but it's ok. 

Day:

This one I really like. It actually looks like you're looking up at the sky on a sunny day with little, white, poofy clouds floating by. The color was perfect. But out of the three pieces this is not my favorite piece either. It's in second place. 

Night:

This one is my absolute favorite out of the three. I used a metallic silver for the moon and the stars so they almost glow when the light hits them. And I used a grey for the clouds. I used a napkin (taco bell napkin lol) and dunked it in the paint and used that to make the clouds for both this and the day painting. I love how you can see one of the stars through the cloud. Like you're actually looking up at the sky during a cloudy night. I really impressed myself with these paintings. They're some of my favorites. 

Prepare For Trouble! Make It Double!

Lauren and I have been working on a painting for like two months now. It took us three sessions to finish it but every time we worked on it, it got ten times better. All the of the painting and art was shared. It's very much a two person painting. It's a map of make believe worlds complete with sea monsters and pirate ships and all kinds of fun things.

Worlds listed are:

Top left panel-
Narnia (with a giant wardrobe)
and Sherwood Forest
Hyrule (with the Zelda symbol)

Bottom Left Panel-
Wonderland (with a heart and a crown)
Amee
Remalna
Oz (with a colorful hot air ballon)
and a giant octopus in the ocean

Top Right Panel-
Alagaesia
a giant red dragon
Sinnoh (with the pokemon Cherubi)
Jurassic park
Treasure Island (with a trail and X)
A compass rose
and the top part of Middle Earth

Bottom Right Panel-

Middle Earth (with Hogwarts)
Kaeleer
Askavi
Chaillot
Cildru Dyathe Island
Neverland
and a giant pirate ship

Lauren and I had no idea we could draw this awesomely but we surprised ourselves. I hope you like it.

Art art art, EVERYWHERE!!!

Ok, let's start off this 'new' blog with an art post. This was the first painting I did on a canvas.

It didn't turn out like I wanted it to but I really liked the end result. This pretty much started my painting obsession, which is why it hangs on my wall. 

Guess Who?!?!?!

Well it's been a little while since I've done anything with this blog but I'm back! I'm going to use it to post my art projects and some other random things that I do. I hope you enjoy everything, so just sit back and enjoy the ride!!!
