Welcome to the world of the 3 Magicians
Hello and welcome to the blog for 3 Magicians! Progress had been put on hold for a while now, but I am starting it up again as of today (Sept 16th 2012). I'm not making promises of when it will be done, but it will be done eventually :-)
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!
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.
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 :-)
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 :-)
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.
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.
Here is one of the actual backgrounds for 3 Magicians. Thought I'd share it with you since I'm gearing up to start production again. Look for more soon...
