New Project
Posted in Painting, Portraits, Projects on May 29th, 2010 by cecilyA little, big project I’ve finally started to put together.
This particular one isn’t finished by any means, but a little look at where it’s at.
A Painting
Strategy in Progress
Posted in Painting, Projects on May 4th, 2010 by cecilyIt’s going somewhere …
Gods, it feels like forever since I picked up a paintbrush.
It’s just a raw under painting, mind, but it’s better than nothing. The horse she’s holding ought be fairly steam-punk by the time I’m done.

Cy In Progress
Posted in Commissions, Painting, Projects on January 12th, 2010 by cecilyWell. It’s looking better at least. I have to say that this creamy, peachy, tabby coloring is a BITCH to paint.
The Side Effect of Commissions
Posted in Commissions, Painting, Projects on October 16th, 2009 by cecilyThis commission is for another artist, asked for by a mutual friend.
Two Leaves
I did a lot of this painting while watching/listening to the TV series “Lost”. So, I find it fascinating that the lady looked more and more like the actress who plays Kate. She doesn’t so much anymore, but for quite a while I wondered how much watching that show was influencing her features.
The strong shadows and the muscles on her back have been particularly difficult to make look “correct”. this is one of the many times I wish I could step outside of myself to set up an accurate pose to work from … yes, I took a lot of blurry photographs to work from and none were quite right. So, in this case, Frankenlady is a hodge-podge of model photos, photos of myself, and a lot of idealization. It still needs a lot of work.
Enjoy.
