Testing

I can't seem to get into my own account to post replies. I am trying to see if I can still post. Please bear with me.

Mini Kaleidoscope Orchid Tree

Here is the latest miniature. It is 2.25" x 3.25". I have a standard size version but this is very different since my paintings are all free hand. I used both transparent and opaque watercolors and a bit of Prismacolor pencil. I am half way done with the miniature Surf Shop and the surfboards in this one have different designs. I don't think that I will be able to enter the Cider Painters show this year because I am so behind. I don't have enough paintings. The "Kaleido-doodle-do" painting is impatiently waiting for me to get back to it.

My Studio

Thought that I would show you a picture of my studio. I am wishing that it looked like this right now. I had to put aside the "Kaleido-doodle-do" painting to work on miniatures for the miniature shows. I have my miniatures in two shows and I am getting more ready for three more shows. They are all back east so they need to be shipped. I have roosters and mats spread all over my studio but I am NOT posting that. Have a great holiday weekend.

A Little More Done On The Painting.

I have managed to get some more finished on this very difficult painting. I got tired of working on the tiny section at the top so now I am working on the larger part. It will go faster now. The top section isn't complete yet. I will work some more on it then go to the miniature paintings that I have to get done for the MASF show. I have the miniatures for the MPSGS show so that is a little bit of a relief. I have to add that this painting is like working on a puzzle. It will be fun to see how it turns out. Even I don't know the answer to that one. Keep checking in to see the progress. Even though there are no comments, the stat system tells me that there are viewers. I appreciate you. Thanks!

WIP Kaleido-doodle-do

This painting has been keeping me very busy. There are around 32 roosters in it. I figured if I am going to title a painting "Kaleido-doodle-do" it had better have alot of roosters. This top section has alot of small images so it took alot of time. I am anxious to get to the larger ones. The medium is watercolor with Prismacolor pencil in some areas. The size is 17.5" x 23.5". I will show you the progress as I go along. If you are interested in seeing more of my work, go to http://www.blueribbonart.com/ or http://www.zibbet.com/ElinorSethman Happy painting!

New Demo Paintings

Hi there!




I just added four demo paintings to my zibbet shop. http://www.zibbet.com/ElinorSethman I will show them to you here. They are priced quite a bit lower than my studio originals because they don't take as long. Take a look. I am still working on my rooster painting and I will show it to you when I get more done on it. I really haven't had that much time lately.
