The fox and the snow

Yesterday I woke up to snow. Lots of it, which was perfectly fine with me. I love hanging out in my PJs with nowhere to go. Until I realized I needed to go grocery shopping. Until the toilet clogged and no plunger was to be found. It was time to drive to get supplies. Anyone who has lived with snow is probably well versed in the snow dance. First you bundle up, sweep(literally) the snow off of the car, scrape the windows, warm up the car, all without trying to freeze yourself. So I did that. Then there was the driving part. That was an adventure. No one can see the lines on the road under the snow, so it is kind of a free for all. I also know now, that when the snow is slushy from all the traffic, to drive about 20 miles an hour and that it is ok if everyone passes me. I take comfort in knowing that if I wreck it will not be my doing. I like the cold. The snow is just so new to me. I have lived in Florida for twenty something years and I have always known that I preferred the cold weather to the sticky, sweaty, humid Florida. Although, I do miss all my friends there.

I also did some painting yesterday. This is my second attempt at painting a fox. I didn’t get very far on the first one. It was a very rigid looking fox and looked very forced. It will be gessoed for a future painting. This is the one that I finished

Thanksgiving and the Dragon.

I spent most of Thanksgiving resting. Since I am in Colorado and so far from my family, we just had a peaceful day at home. I did work on this, however.

I have sketched dragons in the past, but i have never actually painted one. I think there will be many dragons in my future.

This is a photo of the painting and it is for sale. As soon as I get a good scan, I will have prints available in my Etsy shop.

Hares are finished!

It was cold and snowing this morning and I had to run errands. I did finish the hares, though. It is still untitled, but I wanna show it anyway. This painting is for sale and I will have prints up on etsy just as soon as I get this baby scanned. 

This photo is a bit truer to the original than the pics in my previous posts. I just found my camera from the move. 

In the new place

I am currently trying out new subject matter in my paintings. I am trying some new work with hamsas, lotus's and trees. Right now, I am working on this:

It is very different for me to paint animals. I really enjoy it and I am not sure why I didn't do it sooner. I have a lot of ideas for near future paintings and I plan on posting them all-well only if they turn out nice. ;)

Here is a peek at my 'studio' which is really just a portable, fold out table.
