Be Mused Art

These are just a couple of the paintings I have finished in the last couple of days. Beach play is an 8×10″ watercolor painting and is the largest of the things I have finished. All the others, just like the cookie thief here, are artist trading card size painting.
I have been listing [...]

Yes, I was supposed to be working on the Beach Play mercat, I even got it inked. But while taking some time to sort my studio clutter, I came across this interesting little precut mat board. So I grabbed it when I headed out to Cafe Brazil for lunch. I sketched [...]

I was busy over the weekend. I felt like I was mostly running around and putting out fires. Probably because Saturday featured going to visit my grandfather and trying to get his computer up and running and then drilling my college age son about having all necessary school supplies and keeping organized.

My latest watercolor. It took a lot longer than most of my paintings of this size (5 inch square), but I enjoyed working on it and it turned out beautiful. It was inspired by my love of steam punk and girl genius.

Well here we have my next project. I really like the framing of the image. I used to do the hand drawn and painted frames a lot during my college days and I return to the idea from time to time. I like how it makes this whimsical little piece of art [...]

I can’t believe I stayed up till after 2am working on this. But I was just so excited about the dryad sketch that it just begged to be.
Somewhere in the secrete depths of the wilderness a dryad moderates a meeting between a goblin and other fae.

I am not sure about you, but when I see a piece of art that I like, one of the thoughts that goes through my mind is “Where did the artist get that idea?”. When I look at my own art a few weeks after it is finished, I am not sure where the [...]

Well here we have my latest drawing from my sketchbook. I went ahead and inked it in the sketchbook to make it easier to use my light box to transfer it to watercolor paper. Some cropping will happen, since it is going to be a 5×5″ watercolor painting.
