birthday painting

This is a 16X16 painting I did for my boyfriend's birthday. He's a musician, and lately his art has inspired my art. Inspiration circles :)

It's on our wall now, in our happy little apartment.

For the guitar's embellishment, I used torn pieces of newspaper. For the guitar itself, I painted it several colors, and then used a sponge to pull off some of the top color.

bamboo drawing #1

Yesterday I spent a few hours sketching my bamboo plant, Loopy. Loopy's a fun subject. This drawing isn't finished yet, but it's pretty close. I drew it in my large sketchbook, and I'm thinking about adding some color when I'm finished. Watercolor, maybe? Or pastels...

warm colors

I wanted to use only warm colors in an abstract painting. It didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to, but it's fun and a little whimsical. Two flower cut-outs from a Miami magazine grace the right side of the painting.

Enjoy.

Now on Twitter...

Hey guys, you can follow me on Twitter, if I can ever get the hang of it!

That's all for now.

Adios!
