Mona Lisa my way

Acrylic on canvas board

5 x 7

I did this one for an upcoming show at the The Shoe Factory Art Co-op. My first submission to a juried show. Got my fingers crossed!

I expected this to be a mildly boring piece to do ... friends were suprised I didn't through skulls, bats or the random seahorse into it :)... but I really enjoyed it after all. I was forced to look much closer at the original than I ever had before and it was inspiring :)  I'm thinking of doing the girl with the pearl earring next.. maybe.

Two Headed Seahorse Acrylic Painting

I had a Raggedy Ann lunch box as a child, and that's what sparked this piece.... and then it mutated :). I'd like to find someone who could sew me one of these!

I have recently flaked out.... some time a few weeks back the internet in general was suddenly a very dull place. Update the blog? nah... Facebook? phffft.... Twitter? nope.... Did I go back to the real world?!?!? 'o course not, I buried myself in a couple books :) 

I read the The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, The Descent by Jeff Long and am now in the middle of a biography about Eleanor of Aquitaine.

I do expect that soon I'll be back throwing my two cents into the social networking pool.
