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 [...]

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. [...]

I finished it! I am not real thrilled with the digital scan of this painting since the cat is really more of a purple and the color variations are more obvious in the original painting than this shows. The tail is a dark purple and blue with a slight shimmer. The yellow [...]

I know I haven’t posted in awhile. I had been working on an angel pet portrait that was commissioned. Due to it being a gift for someone, I didn’t think it would be nice to post my WIP of it. But I will be sure and post the final painting after [...]

I have made some progress on painting this one. Hopefully with the holiday over I can get it done soon. I love the art nouveau border on this.

Well here is a sketch of the next project on my agenda. I hope you like it. Next is to put it on watercolor paper, ink it, decide on a background or border, and ink that, then the color! And with that starfish wand, I so have an excuse to [...]
