What I've Been Painting Lately

3.29.2012

My list of current paintings is not as extensive as I'd like but I have completed two paintings in the last 2 months! This is the most progress I've made artistically since graduating from college in 2010. I must admit it is a little embarrassing to share this as I was a studio art major and once completed 20 works of art in a 2 month period, eep.

You may have seen my progress on the still life painting when I shared my painter's nook a little while back. Well I've finished that project and a painting of our new pup Nellie for my husband Ryan's birthday. Ryan was thrilled to own his very first piece of original art, and I was more than happy to oblige. The images below are of the Nellie painting still in progress, but you can kinda see what it looks like.

Now I'm tasked with finding a home for these paintings in our little apartment, and with finding inspiration for many, many, more. I'd like to tackle more still life paintings and I've been working on a little series in my head; all about the mundane home life of a newlywed couple. Could this be a new venture for me? Who knows. big kiss, bekuh
