You are welcome to join me for 2 fantastic art shows this weekend
This Friday at the Lincoln Arts Gallery and he Monique Rancourt Artisans Gallery will have 3 new exhibits and live music with Session450.
This Sunday I’ll be doing my first crafts fair fundraiser for the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation . It’s a Dicken’s theme and I made faux gingerbread houses scented with spices.
Hope you can come join in the holiday fun.
The structure of the alphabet is a great way to begin fleshing out a series and researching the sea monsters is interesting.
For the Iku-Turso, I added the Finnish submarine from WWII with the same name.
As I learned about the ocean, I found out about the terrible jelly fish problem. I thought for Ceto they would make a beautiful glow in her underwater nursery.
The Hydra is famous but I didn’t know that one of it’s defenses is it’s stinky. If you cut off one of it’s heads, it smells terrible. Smell is a sense that we miss too often in telling legends. I painted the Hydra on a beautiful day on an island before it’s gruesome end.
I have already begun a series of monster paintings where I was imagining Godzilla’s away from the classic movie. I love the image of him coming home from work after a successful day of destruction.
I also did images of him watching the morning sun.
I also painted him singing.
New rabbit drawings are all 18″ x 24″ and available for 60.00 each.
