Reincarnation / Wood Art

Share

Remember when I said I have a long list of projects I wanted to do but didn't get a chance to? Well, this was on that list. I have been wanting to do paintings on wood, and... finally! It feels so good to know that you have accomplished something.

This was my first take on oil paint and painted portraits -- my very very first wood art. I titled it "Reincarnation #1." The medium: oil paint, oil pastels, and colored pencils. My initial sketch was going to be a bit grungy, but I figured it wouldn't work out with the color palette I started so I made it a "pure" version. The result I think is pretty good, but I would try a different approach and technique on the next one. I will be producing a series or similar type artwork to sell. It'll be a start up of my side business. I will keep you posted once I produce enough to sell :).

*Selling Note: This type of artwork will be handmade and original, therefore expect a higher price range than those that are digitally printed. I may produce some digital prints, but don't expect the same outcome as the originals. These artwork will be modified from the original art to work for digital prints.

Hope you enjoy it! Please give me some suggestions and feedback too! Would love to hear from you!

My Precious Little Tuna

Share

I was able to capture Tuna's precious self, right before she went to bed. She looked so adorably sweet with her puppy eyes -- I just had to document it!

"If you haven't met me, I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I am a female Rat Terrier, currently 11 months old... it's almost my birfday! I wonder what Mommy and Daddy will get my for my birfday................. Anyhooo, I'm a bit shy and nervous when I meet strangers, but I'll slowly warm up to you if you treat me kindly, patient, and give me attention! I honestly have 2 big ears --That's how I have super amazing hearing! Everyone tells me I'm super duper cute, but I just like to look at them and pretend like I'm not with my big eyes. Yes -- I love to sleep! I'm hyper, but I use up all of my energy for a few hours, then my body crashes. I sleep on my bed, but I love Mommy's bed the most. I like to cuddle with Mommy because she gives me comfort and a lot of attention. These are the only things I would tell you. If you want to know more, you can meet me and I will give you all of my love."

I realized this could be a start to my doggie album...
I'll gather up my old to current photos of Bella and Tuna. Although, I don't think I have many photo series of Bella... I'll see what I can find. I'll probably do Tuna first, since her 1st Birthday is near!
