Take Me to La Danse Macabre!

I would really like to go on a little flight to Seattle right about now, to check out Camille Rose Garcia's latest exhibition "La Danse Macabre"....

In my eyes Miss Camille can do no wrong. Her artwork is just pure genius...

"Ghost Moth Serenade" (acrylic and glitter on wood, 36″ x 48″)

"La Danse Macabre Molar" (acrylic and glitter on wood, 24" x 36")

 

 

"Escape of Palilla Fantasma" (acrylic and glitter on wood, 24" x 24")

Alas, a trip to the USA is not on the cards today. There's a mountain of washing to do, a house to keep clean, a 1 year old baby to care for, the school run, and a ton of art related work to get stuck into.

 Baby A and I went on a little journey to Art Shed yesterday, and I'm all stocked up with plenty of fresh white canvasses and new paints just waiting to be opened.
 

The quicker I hang this washing out, the quicker I get to painting, so here goes!

Ramping It Up

I've noticed the trend for New Year's Resolutions this year is to not have one, but rather have a 'word' or 'theme' that you are keeping with for the year. I have a few resolutions in my mind that I've roughly set (the usual - eat healthier, move more, paint more, write more), but my theme for this year is "ramping it up!"

It mainly relates to work, but also a few other areas of my life too. Baby A is nearly 10 months, and slowly gaining more and more independance, and Miss 5 is off to school, so there's going to be a change in routine this year. I still plan on mainly working from my home studio, and slowly ramping up my hours as we go. With Baby A home with me most of the time (at least until he's weaned from breastmilk), I can't go off 'maternity leave' completely, but I think I can dedicate a few more hours to painting than I've been able to the past few months (in between feeds, sleeps & school pick ups!).

I've started taking on some commissioned pieces again, however there's still a waiting list of a couple of months, so if you have something in mind, let me know as soon as you can. :)

Today I've been working on this little guy:

It's going to be a White Rabbit painting for a baby boy! He looks a bit scary at the moment, but it's just the under-painting part. This is only a section of the painting, because I don't want to give too much away just yet, but I hope to share the whole thing once it's completed. Most of my paintings feature girls, so it's fun to work on something with a boy theme!

Speaking of boys, I have a 9 month old one that needs my attention right now. So that's all folks!

 

"Pink Party Fairy" and "Little Blue Butterflies"

It's just Baby A and I at home today. So while he's asleep, I've had the chance to list another little 5x7" painting that I finished up a couple of nights ago.

She is called "Pink Party Fairy".

 

She is painted on a 5x7" stretched canvas, so it's ready to hang straight on the wall. I've started the auction at $10, so everyone can have the chance to bid. :)

My other auction at the moment is "Little Blue Butterflies", and it ends tomorrow!

"Little Blue Butterflies" Original Painting

There aren't any bids yet, so this might be your chance to grab a piece of my original art at a bargain price!

I'm enjoying doing these smaller paintings in between commissioned work that I have. While I'm waiting for paint to dry, or on an email reply, I can potter away at these little canvasses, and eventually pop them up for bargain prices. :)

Ok, time for me to go hang some washing out while bub is asleep...
