Big canvas, part II
This will be part of the painting I started a couple days ago. The boat will be cut out & all the little words {from a Dave Matthews song} will find their place along the girl's skirt. Ok, back to the work table ~ just wanted to show you this bit! ♥

Messy Fun
I still have dried gel medium on my hands from squishing out air bubbles caught between the paper & canvas! This is one of the 12"x36" canvases I purchased while still on my creative high from Art Nest back in February. I was so inspired to continue creating that I ordered them online while I

Finished & Revisited
Blue dress girl is done! The text up in the corner says "A fountain of leaves". Not sure what that means in the context of the painting, but I found the words in a poetry book and was inspired to use them. While I was out photographing that painting in the backyard, I spied my

Spring Girl
A tiny piece of watercolor paper + my Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Artists' Crayons + a little inspiration by way of some $1 frames from Michaels = I love a tiny frame. ♥

Matilda, the problem child.
This is Matilda a.k.a. "ice cream hair girl". The color scheme ended up being kind of chocolate/cherry. I've dubbed her my problem child in this post because this is about the 5th version of this box! She just wouldn't come together and honestly, I'm still not sure she's quite right. Hmmm. Maybe she's too pale

Yep, still boxing…
Unlike yesterday's box, I have no back-story to tell about yoga inspiring me for this girl. And even if I did, there would surely be no photographic evidence! :) I think of her less as a self-portrait and more of a person to become. A future-self portrait maybe. Here's a better look at her with
