TITLE: The Oracle. The Original Mixed Media Painting available in my etsy shop.
i am having so much fun painting these owls! each of these new paintings is 5×5 inches, which seems to be the perfect size for these guys. i just adore how each one is its own unique character with its own personality!
THE ORACLE seems to be the king of the land. so very noble and honorary. like the wisest in all the land.
TITLE: The Beauty Inside. The Original Mixed Media Painting available in my etsy shop.
This little lady seems to be so delicate. It’s like she’s protecting herself with all of those gorgeous feathers because she holds so much kindness and compassion inside.
TITLE: Love Yourself First (SOLD).
and this one makes use of a very limited color palette, which i don’t often use. to me, she is the salsa dancer, the zsa zsa gabor who would wear a feather boa to the grocery store.
TITLE: On top of the World. The Original Mixed Media Painting available in my etsy shop.
this one is a space cadet. an explorer, having just discovered uncharted territories.
TITLE: My Little Sunshine. The Original Mixed Media Painting available in my etsy shop.

After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading
