Work in progress . . .

As if I don't have enough on my plate, here is a new painting/collage I'm working on for an upcoming show. The model is a vintage boudoir doll. This painting needs to get done by the end of September. The painting is 60" tall, that's 5 feet ... what was I thinking???

I thought I'd add her to my blog and ask all of you for your opinion, advice, thoughts....

I drew her in green oil paint on a green background. Then I pasted torn pieces of pattern tissue to form her dress.

8/19/07: I've added some dark areas to the figure, painted the background red and toned down her dress with a red glaze. (photo coming soon)

I'll be adding more pictures as I progress.

Now I've gone and committed myself to finishing this....

The Bug Series of Assemblage Art

Here are a couple bugs in a series of assemblage bugs I've been working on. The top guy is a Mosquito or at least it's my version of a mosquito, and the bottom guy is a Lightening bug, or some call it a Firefly. They're both around 6" to 8" tall. I retain the copyright and can use the image whenever I want too! And I can make more just like him if I want to too. But you can enjoy the real thing, if you buy him of course.Click on my Etsy store, see the side panel, or click on one of the bugs.
