I worked on some stuff for my winning followers last night, but took a minute (actually 2 hours) today to do some little paintings. I love miniature paintings, and I wish I had started making them earlier in my career. They are so much fun, and I am really an "instant gratification" type of person-so being able to knock out a painting in less than an hour, makes me very happy. =) When I do large paintings and commissioned work, I have a tendancy to work for hours and hours and hours, without stopping for food, drink or bathroom breaks. It's kind of ridiculous! But I just get so eager to see the end result, that I forget about all the things I need for my body.... That wasn't the case today! I would work on a painting, finish it and then take care of something I needed or hang with the kids. And then it was back to the grindstone to do another. So here is what was cranked out today: an abstract, an word painting, a bride, some wine bottles and a lighthouse. =)

They still need to be framed and then will go up on etsy. Unless, I am out of frames... then they will be mounted on a heavy cardboard and listed after that. =)
Also, remember that you only have until tonight (11:59 EST) to enter my giveaway! Go
HERE for that.
Your pictures are wonderful. I love the one of the bride. Beautiful work.

Thank you, Maria!
Deletethese are grey. I especially like the abstract!
ReplyDeleteAhhaha, I am assuming you meant "great" and I KNEW if you popped in you would like the abstract. :)
DeleteQue bonitas pinturas!, la novia es preciosa
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
GRACIAS por no tener palabra de verificación
OMG Lyssa! The bride painting is just beautiful!! I think what I need to do is just send you a picture of the rooms I need artwork in and let you create your magic!
ReplyDeleteLOL! That might be easier and certainly quicker than waiting for me to make the "right" piece. :) And thank you!
DeleteOh I really like the wine bottles one! How do you paint so tiny?
ReplyDeleteFunny, that is why I am hoping to win your giveaway, because of the little wine picture and bottle. I wonder if my little dollhouse people are winos?
I just paint like I would normally. I don't even use any fancy brushes! :) Well, I hope you win, and if not, the wine picture will be up in my etsy shop later this week!
DeleteI am watching your shop like a hawk now. :) That picture would be perfect in my little dining room.
Deleteunos cuadros preciosos y tienes razon una de las ventajas de las miniaturas es que por su pequeño tamaño normalmente vemos antes el resutlado y la satisfaccion de ver el trabajo terminado
ReplyDeletebesitos
