stars in her eyes....

As promised I have a new painting to show you.
It's titled " Stars in her eyes"  and was inspired by the illuminated manuscripts of the medieval times.

...and here's a close-up

Have a Happy October everyone! :)

IF: linked

Just a doodle I did this evening.....I guess it fits for the theme linked....two birds linked in a song. :)  It's acrylic on a piece of cardboard.

My daughter submitted her own illo and I think she came up with a much better idea than me..and a lot faster too! ;) You can take a look at: leticia-floatingideas.blogspot.com

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

IF: music

What a great topic this week! And so many possibilities to interpret! I love music and I get inspired by it all the time. I'm always listening to music while I'm painting or drawing...one thing I cannot be without. I grew up playing violin but I realized early on I had more talent to visual arts then music so while my brothers became musicians I pursue art instead.

I have a few works that could fit for this topic, but since some have already been posted on this site I decided to pick one that's not up here yet. It is a painting that brings up happy and sad memories.

The fairies playing a beautiful welcoming song for the princess, who's entering the magical forest....where trees come alive and fairies happily dancing...and where dreams come true .....

This mural  was painted for a little girl who was battling with cancer and wished to be a princess with long hair and fairy wings. She was really happy when she first saw herself in the finished painting and though she could not talk that time she gave me the biggest hug. I never forget that moment. Unfortunately she lost her battle............and we all miss her very much. I hope she is happy now wherever she is.....and maybe....she has wings and she's playing with fairies.

trapped

Another busy week...I'm getting ready for an art's and crafts show at the end of this month and I'm working on some new paintings.I will post them as they get finished. ;)

I'm posting this picture for this week because I feel kind of trapped in the meaning of finding myself in a situation that I cannot escape from.

This painting has been sold a few weeks ago and sometimes I miss looking at it on my own wall, but I know it's in good hands. I think in a way we artists feel connected to all our artworks as they are a  part of us...a reflection of our feelings, thoughts or memories, and I think we are allowed to miss them sometimes :)

IF: frozen

Poor puppy got left out in the snowfall :(
What a coincidence that this week's topic was 'frozen' as I've just painted this 2 weeks ago to use it as a donation for the art show I've attended this weekend.

bad hair day

Today the weather is not too nice..it's cloudy and rainy, so I thought I post something that's cheerful. This painting was inspired by my daughter who has really long hair and sometimes it tangles up and looks like a bird nest.
