The Maiden Voyage

The Maiden Voyage, oil on canvas, 30"x36".  For sale on etsy.

Well, I've finally completed this monster of a painting.  I know that 30"x36" isn't huge, but it's big for me, especially when you consider that my studio space is something like 5'x6'.  Tiny!    If you would like to get a better look at it (there's a lot going on it this piece) click on the link below and it will take you to etsy and from there, you can click on the actual painting and it will zoom in for you.

In terms of inspiration, I can't really say where or why this piece came about.  I have a thing for ships and I wanted to paint my version of the SS Normandie for quite some time, so that's how it basically started.  I'm partial to parrots too, in fact, all things nautical.  The little painting of "Sailor Jack" was tossed in on a whim, but now I feel he really makes the piece complete.  The chandelier was my own little creation and is supposed to resemble seaweed- sort of.

I'll be taking a small break from painting so that I can recharge my batteries, but I should be back next week with some slightly smaller pieces.  Oh, and I'm crossing my fingers that my print shipment will arrive before the weekend!

Leona And The Yellow Bird

Leona And The Yellow Bird, 16"x20", oil on canvas.  Sold.

To be honest, I don't really want to sell Leona.  There's something a little magical about her and I wouldn't mind holding on to her.  However, I'm a reasonably fair person (most of the time) so I thought I would give her a little opportunity to find a home.

Beeloved

Beeloved, 11"x14", oil on canvas. Sold.

I've been wanting to do a bee themed painting for quite sometime now.  Then, the other day I was at my friend Anne-Marie's house and noticed her funky cool collection of odd things- like the Bambi (I think that's Bambi) figurine and the little honey pot.  Seemed like a good place to start a bee themed painting.  I don't know where the bambi character fits in, but it's there, just hanging out.

To get a better view of the painting please visit my etsy shop.
