Syds Amaryallis WIP

Step one. The sketch and the masking

Male Mask Step 3

I have added some gold ink and intensified the depth of color in the mask. Futher work has also been done on the antique art books.

Now to remove the masking and apply the gold leaf.

This is the Scarey part!!!!

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

Dahhh Finished ( Alpacha Haircut)

This guy cracks me up!!! You have to love the hair cut and his buck teeth.

The poor guy cannot even see where he is going.

I often pass by his herd when I am working at my nursing job at least three days a week and he always brings a smile to my face.

Hope you enjoy him as well!!!

Male Mask WIP step 2

This painting will probably take me a while as I do not seem to find the time I need.

My heart and head are ready but working full time and late some days cuts into my painting time.

I need to express to the universe my true desire to paint and the time will appear.

I have to admit that helping people in need also fulfills me so we need to find a balance.

I had my Tarot cards read this past week and was told that she could see me putting words with my art.

I have had three childrens books in mind for awhile so I guess I should persue those.

Life is so interesting and holds so many stories just waiting to be told.Maybe I started with painting and should have persued my story telling first.

I love the beautyinmyworld and want to share it!!!

Male Venetian Mask Wip Step 1

Just started this painting of a masculine mask I bought last year in Venice. I posed it against my Req. wall on top of some antique art books I own.
I think the colors will go very well with the female mask I just finished.
I also plan on using gold leaf on this mask.

Dahhh WIP

Sorry I have not posted in a while as I was in the
Caribbean. Now I am back to the cold reality . I did though, get more inspiration and great photos of flowers, trees birds and Iguana's for future paintings.
I have about five paintings on the go now.
Just a bit left to do on this funny guy. I get quite a kick out of their haircuts not to mention his buck teeth.

Venitian Mask Completed

I added more detail to the headdress part of the mask and now feel the painting is complete

I love the gold leaf!!!

I now plan on doing a painting of the masculine mask I bought while in Venice as I feel she deserves a mate!!!
