Another Background

It has been so long since I've posted anything, so  I wanted to share another background with you.  This summer I hope to really make some progress with my film and I'll try to share my progress on the blog.  As always, click the image to see it a little larger.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Merry Christmas, Everybody!

  Hope you all are having a wonderful day with family and friends.  Here are my final 3 Magicians Christmas paintings as my present to you!

The 3 Magi follow the star to find the Gift of Christmas!

On the shore we can see 

the very brightest Christmas Tree!

3 Magicians Christmas!

It has been so long, but I finally have something new in the works to show you.  I'm working on two little pieces for Christmas, both involving the 3 Magicians.  Today I'm posting some of the studies I've done for them and I will post the finished pieces later this week.  I just started painting the finals of both today so make sure you come back to visit in a few days.

The first is a Nativity scene, except I have transformed Bethlehem into the Georgia woods and the 3 Magi into you know who.  You can't tell as much from the studies, but the characters are inspired from this amazing Nativity set I bought last week during a trip to Mexico of hand painted clay figurines.

The second piece is based on one of my favorite things about Christmas: The lights!  More specifically, memories of sitting on the couch as a little girl opposite the Christmas tree.  At 5 or 6 a Christmas tree seems massive, and I used to relax my eyes so all the lights would blur into giant soft orbs of color.

Ringling College Perspectives Magazine

Last year I was featured in the Ringling College of Art and Design's fall issue of Perspectives, an alumni magazine.  There was a little blurb about me under the class of 2003 and a nice little picture of a promo painting I did for 3 Magicians.  I just saw that they published it online so here you go, better late than never :-)

3 Magicians Progress Oct. 10

Doing a little color work in Flash today.  Working on my laptop as I watch a Scrubs marathon on Comedy Central.  Slow and steady wins the race :-)

It Has Begun (Again)

This week I officially resumed production on 3 Magicians.  There is still a long way to go, but I'll get there eventually.  I'm going to try to start posting some of my progress as I go along.

Another 3 Magicians Background

Here is another background painting for the 3 Magicians.  This is a strawberry field at the edge of the woods where the 3 Magicians go to find turtles.  The box turtles love to eat wild strawberries and make their homes in holes beneath the grass.
