Digital Painting

Inspired by the digital artwork of Israeli artist, Ish Gordon, I had to try my own hand at digital painting. Of course, as all my artist friends know, I experiment, always, by using a pear as my subject. And here is, Pear Number 1, a digital painting.

Pear Number 1, available at Society 6

The image below is my inspiration, 

Tangled Romantic, by Ish Gordon

Obviously, I have a long way to go! :D

This is considered a zendala. A mandala is a doodled design in a circle. Therefore, a zendala is a zentangle formed in a circle. In my case, it's a Tangy Zendala! ;)

Remember this onion sketch from last week?

I used this old Bomomo design as the background

And then to that I added this photo of a skeleton leaf which I'd painted in metallic paint. Of course, I then took away all color, then added some back. And when I was happy with the background, I applied the onion on top of the other layers.

Finally... In Color!

Awhile back I published this image in black and white and just didn't have time to color it until this past week. Which do you like best?

Shrimp!

Once again, the beginnings of another piece of kitchen art. I have his body and tail finished. He just needs better formed legs and some antennae. I think he'll look very natty on a kitchen apron, don't you?

Onion Sketch

Last week, I met for the first time with the Garage Girls Painting Club and it is exactly as the name implies; a group of artistic type women who meet in a garage to paint! It was wonderful!!! 

I was in a mind set to work up some sketches that will later be translated into "kitchen art." This onion being the first of the sketches. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll actually use the original sketch in a collage, but I know that at the very least I'll incorporate it into a digital collage that I can upload to items in "shop crabulous!" such as a chef's apron. So stay tuned to see what comes of this sketch. ;)

Wite Out!

I've been visiting with my newborn grandson, Max, this past week and therefore haven't spent any time in my studio. That has not prevented me from doodling; however, and I've been making good use of paint markers, highlighters and a Wite Out pen. Who knew that you could have so much fun doodling with a Wite Out pen? Just had to share my sketches from my Flemish text book.
