"Taurus"

I have a new zodiac painting to share with you! This one is "Taurus"! Taureans are born between April 20 - May 20. They are loyal, reliable and generous, so I thought a fairy would be a perfect fit for this painting. The palette is set around colours that relate to Taurus - greens, yellows, oranges and earthy tones (it is an Earth sign after all). The fairy is wearing an emerald and copper necklace and bracelet - the gemstone and metal related to this zodiac. The flowers associated with Taurus are Poppies, Violets as well as long grasses and vines - which you can see around her and in her hair. In the background you can see the edge of the ruling planet, Venus, as well as the gold embellished Taurus symbol.

So far in the series, I have painted:

"Pisces"

"Gemini"

"Scorpio"

"Cancer"

"Aries"

and now 

"Taurus"

I'm not doing them in any particular order, so it's a surprise as to which sign I will paint next.

Today I'm working on finishing my painting for the Big Eye Artist Collective auction this weekend. The theme is "Seven Deadly Sins". I'll post pics once it's finished.

Also up for auction this weekend is my original "Marsh Fairy" painting - finishing tomorrow. It's only at $10 at the moment so you might be able to grab a bargain!

Tuesday painting news!

Over a few nights this week I've been painting away on an 8x10" painting I call "Marsh Fairy". I had this idea to create a fairy with interesting butterfly/moth wings. Let me tell you, there are a lot of different butterfly wings out there! Her wings ended up being a mesh of both butterfly and moth.

At first I wasn't sure what I was going to have in the background, I liked the idea of the stripey tree, and somehow it became sort of a sinister swampy looking backdrop. I like it.

I've popped her up in my eBay store HERE.

Because we are getting our house ready for sale at the moment, I decided to clear up some space by putting my original "Sunflower Fairy" painting up for auction! Now is your chance to grab her for a steal!

Miss 5's school fete is coming up, and like a good Artist Mummy I've promised to donate some art to the art auction and craft stall, so today (while also trying to keep the house clean with Baby A in it!), I will be busily getting some goodies ready. I'm thinking along the lines of notecards or bookmarks for the craft stall and some beautifully framed prints for the auction??

Wish me luck! :)
