Frida in Wonderland

So I obviously love all things Frida and now I'm also a little obsessed with Alice in Wonderland... So my crazy brain thought, "well why not combine the two"... so here is what I came up with.

24 x 36 inches

Frida in Wonderland

Latest Painting - Titled "T"

I wish I had the time to paint all day

every day... but alas being a full time

office worker and a mum of two 

cherubs, just doesn't allow much time

to get my hands dirty with paint.

But the time that I do get spare, 

I just want to paint beautiful things.

Sometimes I manage this, sometimes not.

This time I think I have created a beautiful Angel. 

So I am pleased.

She is titled simply

"T"

16 x 20 inches

as always thank you for visiting.

A Christmas Wish

My latest painting

Titled

A Christmas Wish

I know it's only October, but

Christmas is on my mind.

And there are two girls here who are

wishing for wings for Christmas.

Love you to the Moon and Back

Hi Hi,

Thanks for popping by....

So from my previous posts,

you can see two video's (my first ever video's on YouTube)

showing how I went about creating the background for this painting.

and

here is the finished product I made using that background.

First Ever Video

EEEEEKKKK my first ever "how to" video.

This is the first step or Part 1. 

As I continue on with this painting, I'll do part 2, 3, 4 etc etc until it's complete. 

Please be kind, as I know I say UM a lot!!

After I created this video, I really thought that maybe I should have put some make up on and some pretty clothes, but realistically this is how I look when I paint... thanks for taking the time to check it out ♥>

Latest Painting - Hidden

 

My latest painting titled - Hidden

24 x 36 inches

 

 

and a close up

 

and from another angle

as always thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I don't like to waffle on too much on this blog as you may have noticed, as to me, it's all about the art work.

:-)

Sisters :-)

this latest painting could almost be about my sister and I. My sister has red hair and when I was young had very blonde hair (now brown). But it is a commission for a lovely lady who has two beautiful cherubs - one blonde and one a red head. For privacy reasons, I will not post a picture of her girls and of course this is not an exact portrait of the girls, rather my interpretation or as somebody once said - Nat-ifying (making something my own).

- or said even better by Robert wade -

 

I don't paint how it looks, I paint how it feels

 

 24 x 36 inches

Close Up

And from another angle.

 

Thanks for looking :-)

Serena

if you visit my blog, thank you for taking the time to pop on over here. I haven't painted in a while, as I'm studying and working, so that seems to take up a lot of my time as well as family/home life. But I've finished my first semester of study, so have a few weeks spare now, so am going to try and get a few extra paintings done for our local art exhibition that is rapidly approaching.

Today I have finished - Serena

she's 24 x 36 inches
