APE NEWS and some paintings~ ^0^

Hi Friends!

Super late notice, I will be at APE TOMORROW from 1 - 2 at Flesk Publications' booth for signing:

Some new works i have from the last few weeks! Trying to work on more still life in the basement! Getting up at 5 am to get a couple of hours of paint down before work is quite an amazing feeling. :)

SPECTRUM news and some recent works~!

Dear artists, It's the season for showing off what you have worked on this year! I am extremely honored and grateful to be one of the judges of Spectrum Fantasy Art Annual this year, and I can't wait to see all of your wonderful submissions! ^0^ There's also still time to create your Magnum Opus of 2013~ Carpe Diem!

As for what i have been working on: I took a three day workshop with the talented Daniel Keys in Carmel, and went away with a deep and growing passion for Still lifes! Currently working on a piece in my basement! Here are the 4 hour studies i did in the workshop~ I highly recommend his class to anyone wanting to learn to paint!

Oil 3 hours~

Painting watercolors from imagination can get obsessive.... Because it's fun!

Sick... And painting from last week~

Sick this week so there's no Tuesday oil~ :( just a watercolor with imaginary visitors...

Updated painting~

It's finished~ 6 hours oil~ not that happy with the body. :) will keep at it!

Tuesday night oil~ Work in progress, 3 more hours next week

Have a great weekend everybody!! ^0^ Summer!!!

Hi friends, I have been busy and away from the blogsphere! I went to China for a week to do "Monsters University" press and talk, and now i am busy with new work and helping out my friends to finish their inspirational project, "The Dam Keeper"! Unfortunately, that means i won't be able to do as much watercolor studies outdoors for a bit~! But rest assured I will get back to it when i have more time! :D

Best best, Shelly
