Something in the Water

Here are two new paintings in my shop! I am practicing water because I am hoping to paint a large shark painting in the next few weeks, so here are two paintings with water! The one on the top is called "Floating" and the one below is called "Morning Stretch". I also wrote a poem to go with "Floating".

"Floating away on a bright sunny day,
the waves caress and carry me away...

Even strangers are welcome in the water.
They won't say, "work harder."

The ocean waves will always say that "You are okay."
They will hold your hand to the bay or take you far, far away.

The land has hardened it's heart and the jagged edges all dart out.

The waves dance and play, while the rocks sit and decay.
Now do you see why it has to be this way?

No more hardened rocks and decay; I am floating far, far away. "
 

Sewn Paintings!

Hi everyone! So I decided to make these cute, little, whimsical paintings on watercolor paper and then sew them onto a larger piece of watercolor paper, so it looks matted, clean and professional, but with a bit of a homemade touch! Plus I get to choose different color thread to accent the painting! I am very excited! I will be doing this with most of my prints in my shop as well! I think it is great, especially for those art collectors, who want cute, unique paintings to frame on their walls!

Here is one of my new sewn paintings called "Stripes"! I sewed the painting on with a mint colored thread to accent the painting and it looks absolutely fabulous!! There is just something about sewing on the painting... It just makes it complete and cute! I love it!

New Café Paintings...

Since I am at the Cafe right now, I figured it is obviously the perfect time to share two new paintings in Cafes! The one the on the top is kind of a self portrait. The title is "Lost" and the background is of  the interior of a cafe I go to a lot. I really wanted to have capture the moment of which the woman in the painting has just stopped and closed her eyes and thought about where she is in life. I blurred the background to really focus on the woman and her moment of thought.

The second painting, "Au Café" is another painting where the subject is in the Café, having a thought about life. I have kind of a "love/hate" relationship with the Café. At this point in my life, I have spent a lot of time there, and it seems to be the only place where I feel..."at home," with that being said, I also think that it has been a self destructive habit of mine. We go to these places almost daily, and pass people, who we see daily, but fail to make connections with. There are people there, but we are alone and lost in this world. All we know and call home is habit. Don't get me wrong, I love coffee... <3 Haha

To the Sea - Original Painting

This is a new painting that I just finished called "To the Sea".

To the sea, as far as I can see.
To the sea...is where I will be.

Waves crashing, water splashing and cradling me to sleep,
Swimming away into the deep.

To the sea.
