"Itchy" - art card, acrylic, 2 1/2" by 3 1/2"I'm looking forward to sharing with you a little about my life, and my paintings.
I'm currently working on my first acrylic painting (other than a few art cards I've done in acrylics in the last few weeks), and I hope to have an "in progress" picture of that uploaded soon.
I've been doing a lot of "art cards" in the last little while. These are trading card sized tiny paintings - just 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" - "Itchy", at the top, is an example. While they hardly qualify as "serious" art and are unlikely to ever hang in a museum, these are an awful lot of fun. They're also a great opportunity to experiment with different subjects and media without spending a fortune on supplies, or a huge chunk of time.
In my spare time, I like to hang out with the big love of my life (after my family, that is). Justin is a 7 year old Cheval Canadien, Canada's National Horse. I've had him since he was 11 months old, and we've learned a lot from each other. There is also the menagerie in our home, which currently consists of dogs, birds lizards and a pet rat. And of course, there are the woods around our house and everything that grows and lives in them, and ever present source of inspiration and contemplation.
I'll end this with just one of the inhabitants of our little corner of the world who caught my eye and provided fodder for my brush:
"Praying Mantis" - art card, watercolor
Until next time - Simone
