new mutant flower painting

Finished the Chrysanthepus that I posted about earlier... not sure how I feel about it.. may have to do another version :)

chrysanthemums and octopi

Well, the mutant flower tangent has died out for the moment. I had two paintings started last weekend and haven't touched them since...

Chrysanthepus

Spider Mum

Instead I've been working on an ink drawing of an octopus....

I plan on doing some watercolors over the ink... should have it finished tomorrow. I would like to say the flowers will be finished some time soon... but I've already started sketching a seahorse to go with the octopus so it doesn't look hopeful.

I seem to be incapable of settling on anything for a while :)

Wild Flower

Second version! I like this MUCH better. His name is Melville.. and he's been incarcerated for random acts of violence and deviant behavior towards our Fu Pug.

Jelly Shroom v.2

I had to do a second Jelly Shroom... but wouldn't ya know it, I don't like it as much as the first. Always happens this way, I just forgot :) If I try to repeat myself I get stale real quick. I will be continuing the Mutant Flower series, I have a 'wild flower' percolating in my brain. A quick diversion first though... a pair of aquatic type girls... stay tuned!

And yet another mutant plant. I'm pleased with this one... I like that the upper cap looks transparent, I wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish that and the pallet is a bit different than I'm used to working with and I think it payed off to try some different colors. I had so much fun doing it I've already started version 2!

Another in what's turning out to be a series of Mutant Plants. I'm having alot of fun with this topic and apparently so are my friends because suggestions for upcoming paintings have been arriving with increasing frequency... and I am appreciative :)... So I leave it on the table for anyone out there... suggestions are welcome!

Chimpansy

A lovely example of rare primate foliage. Difficult to keep as a house plant. Prefers a steady diet of venus fly-traps, pitcher plants and the occasional psychedelic mushroom. Also enjoys fligging poo at household pets.
