Whooooo R U?

I’m steadily working on my last installment of my WonderLand Sieries. I’ve done The Queen of Hearts, The Mad Hatter and White Rabbit and now this last one is going to be The Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar. Just like the other two paintings I’m doing this one on White Artist Board using Watercolors. Last night I finished the Chesshire Cat…all but her hair. See I painted her in colors of purple, pink and black, so I’m having a hard time deciding what color to make her hair. Black but that is so dark and I’m afraid it will draw the eye away from the center of the piece. Brown or Blonde I really don’t think would fit the personality of the Cat. So that leaves bright colors like Red but that would clash with the pink. I’m in quite a pickle so I’m probably gonna leave her hair until last and move on to the Caterpillar.
I printed a few pictures of caterpillars to get some color and marking ideas for Ms. “Who R U”. She will most likely be Green, Black and Yellow….ya know traditional Caterpillar colors :) The painting is coming along…slowly so far but I’m planning to finish it by next week and Hopefully post some pictures for you Lovely People then. Well that is all for now. Thanks for reading!

Gettin My Scratch On

I finally finished the Scratch Art pieces I was working on for Dragon Con. There are like 6 or 7…it’s hard to keep track after a few weeks of scratching. Anyway I’m posting just a few of the smaller ones because they were the only ones I could scan. One of which I’m quite happy with. I just call it Lilly, it’s an oriental inspired piece. I got the idea from an Asian Lily I had, the lily has long died since I really don’t have much of a green thumb but the inspiration didn’t. :)
Now that I am all done with the scratch art it’s time to move on to painting the very last piece of my Wonderland series…I know I said I would be doing that about a week ago but I needed to do something else for a while…a month of painting is all I can take, had to switch things up for a bit. Anyway here’s a few of the Scratch at that will be featured in the Art Gallery at Dragon Con, let me know what you think.

As soon as I’m done with the last painting I’m going to start on Brand new Myxies…I’m so excited about these, I have some great, fun ideas for them. Won’t be able to post them but they will be for sale at the Art Gallery also. Oh Boy!
Later!
