[Art] I know happiness writes white.

Eeeehehehe. :)

Commission for the wonderful and awesome perzephone (who also understands knee pain, though not so much anymore thank goodness) of the Woolly Mammoth, Bear and Datura.

Lighter in real life, and more heavily detailed (the mountains *all* have tiny lines or dots or cross-hatching in them, you can't tell from the picture though).

The metallic paint catches on only from certain angles - I really do love metallic paint! - if you look at it straight on, you can't really see it (except as colour), but if you approach from an angle, woot there are bronze and platinum highlights.





Specs: A3 illustrator's board, pencil, watercolour pencil, acrylic (touch ups and highlights mainly), metallic paint. :)

I love the flowers/leaves on the right. :)

Wow that's wonderful!

That is incredibly cool.

You should put together a portfolio and contact various pagan and New Age publishers, as well as the pagan/New Age branches of bigger publishers. Not all of 'em are small, and something like would make a spectacular portfolio piece. I know that shipping stuff may be hard, but I think if you have a specific gallery for that sort of think on your website, you can just point them to it. Just since I've met you your work has gotten even better, and I honestly think it's professional enough, and unique enough, to stand out.

Additionally, larger publishers might like your work for more mainstream stuff, too.

*Gasp!* Wow, every picture seems to be more detailed than the one before. And it's so beautiful! Wow...

You just need an agent.

Tell me about it! It seems one of the facts of life that the really prolific artists (like myself) are too antisocial to market their work heavily, and the non-prolific artists are often the ones out there selling prints and marketing themselves.

Of course then you get the perfect artists who can do both. Lol.

I haven't visited LJ for awhile and what a beautiful visit it has become. A smile, a thought...a remarkable voice expresses outloud...'Now that's worth a visit'.

That is really beautiful! I love metallic paint too.

As always I'm amazed at your work!! It's beautiful. I think I have to get a theasuris (and a dictionary LOL ) cause I gotta find more words to use for your totally groove artwork. :D

I agree with many above commenters. You just need an agent; you are SO prolific, and your work seems to just get more detailed & fantastic -- if anyone should be succeeding financially with their art, it should be someone as dedicated as you!

I really love the contrast of the reds, purples and browns, and how the different parts of the picture "reach" into each other in unique ways.

This is gorgeous. Like all of your art work, this amazes me too.

There is so much to sit and think about here. I think that the datura is what stood out and smacked me for attention though. You know me and plants. :red:

I have only worked with metallic special watercolors. They have a most stunning effect, I love what it does for my bland (and somewhat lame lol) attempts at watercolor painting. LOL

It is gorgeous, and I can picture where the metallic paint would be too. :D
