Cafe Press Christmas cards

2011-12-14T05:33:00.000-08:00

I used Cafe Press again this year for my Christmas cards, needless to say, I am very impressed with the Quality again.

Found an old painting

2011-10-28T09:45:00.000-07:00

Going through an old Box today, I found one of my very old paintings. I thought it was lost in one of the many moves my family has done.

I did this so long ago, I have no idea what age I was but I am guessing 10/12 years old, so that makes it around 1974 when this was painted.

It was done in acrylic on canvas board.

Nari Painting Finished

This is one of the rare days I could work on my painting for hours at a time. Was quite enjoyable!

I have added a lot more ink and layers of color all over the painting.

Too much to write up in any detail but I am about 70% done.

Trying my Hand with Envelopes

2011-09-21T08:02:00.000-07:00

Nari WIP 7

2011-09-16T09:21:00.000-07:00

Finally able to add an WIP update on my painting of Nari.

I have been busy adding layers of color on her fur, working on the right ear adding depth and shading. Just started adding another layer of ink to her fur on the left side, which is easy to see and a small about of ink to the right side.

I will be working on the Ink on her fur more and once that is done, will go back to adding color to the fur around her face.

Though her eyes are as pale as you see here in person, I might add some more brightness and color to them later on.

Nari WIP 6

2011-08-28T16:28:00.000-07:00

Adding the 5th layer of color to Nari's outer fluff. Adding the first layer of color and some shadowing to her inner lions mane. The shear number of layers of fur framing her face is impressive. But then, that is a Maine Coon cat for you.

Also adding some Ink stripe details. Very slowly but surely getting this painting done.

Adding more layers and texture to the big Maine Coon cat ruff around her face. My favorite brush for this is a, Renaissance red Sable brush size 9.

Also applying some depth to her inner ear and doing a little more Ink work. Though the Ink work at this point, is hard to see in the Photo.

2011-08-06T10:05:00.001-07:00

Did a little more ink work and started with the shading under Nari's chin.

Added some depth to the soft fur that frames her face.

Again more ink work, more shading under her chin, muzzle, added another color to her face and start putting the first layer of color in her ear.

Making sure to erase the pencil as I go.

SNJ4 Texan

2011-07-30T10:45:00.000-07:00

Navy Trainer SNJ4 Texan by InkandBrush

This is a digital painting, based off a photograph I took. Using Adobe PS9 to create another Aircraft, this painting took me a month to do, using the mousepad on my laptop and my finger. Not the most elegant way to get a digital painting done but worth it.

I decided to use an old style Ink look.

And continuing with my, In your Face angles, of Military Aircraft.

Navy Trainer SNJ4 Texan by InkandBrush

Originating from the 1935 open-cockpit, fixed-gear NA-16, the Texan was employed as an advanced trainer, designated as the U.S. Navy’s SNJ. After the war, the planes continued in U.S. military service and flew with at least 55 nations in the role of trainer, fighter, bomber, attack, and transport.

In the next week, I will be getting Mugs and more items up in my Online stores.

Nari Work in Progress ~ 3

2011-07-26T21:02:00.000-07:00

Am starting to fill in some of the area's of Nari's fur and added the first layer of color around her head.

Added another layer of color on the ruff of fur around Nari's head. Though I find it hard to do, am going to try to keep this area soft and not as detailed.

Also added another layer of color to her nose to add a little more depth, started in on the first layer of color on her muzzle.

Nari Work in Progress ~ 2

2011-07-09T09:03:00.000-07:00

Here I am working on the shading around Nari's eyes.

Starting to add some ink around her nose, eyes and part of her fur. It is a little more dark in the photo that it is in person.

I have added some under-shading color to her Nose and the underside of her eyes. Also started to ink in the first layer of fur. This will take me a couple of weeks.

And remembering to erase the pencil lines as I go, so I don't muddy the colors.

Nari Work in Progress ~ 1

2011-07-04T20:30:00.001-07:00

I decided to do a Pen and Ink with a watercolor pencil wash of my family's fixed Maine Coon cat Nari. She is very photogenic, even with my evolt 510 camera not playing nice.

Above you can see my photograph, that I am using as my reference.

You can also see I am penciling in key area's so I could start this new painting. I find it easier for me to keep the balance of what I am working on in perspective.

If I have larger dark area's, I will put an X, in those spots to help me remember where they need to be.

Am using my favorite Hot press watercolor Paper.

I decided to start with the first layer of eye color. And I will do about 10 layers to get the color depth I am looking for.

At this point, I have added a couple more layers of color to the eyes and the first layer of color to the pinkish area of her nose. I plan on finishing up her eye color, nose and mouth before I start Inking in her fur.

On the Way Out ~ Sci-Fi

Unicorn Icelandic is Finished

2011-05-25T09:49:00.000-07:00

Pretty sure I have finished this painting. Some times I am not sure but with this one, I do not want to over paint and end up ruining it.

The Scanner was having a bit of a problem with the contrast between the snow and the darker back ground.

I have put two slightly different variations on the Blog and would love to hear from you, which you like best.

The one above's background is like the painting. The one below, the Unicorn is more like the painting.
Some of the print shops would most likely do better with the one below but I am not sure until I can order some samples.

Not sure if there are Unicorn's in the Icelandic Horse culture but if there isn't, there is one now. ;O)

I will be uploading this painting to my various online shops in the next couple of weeks.

Unicorn WIP 8

2011-05-24T09:05:00.000-07:00

Adding some more depth to the snow, specially with the action around her legs. Adding more layers of color to all parts of her body.

Close up of her head and mane. Have been adding more shadows.

Unicorn WIP 7

2011-05-13T13:29:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the photo quality.

Unicorn Icelandic Horse. . .

Some of my paintings seem to have a mind of it's own and this is one of them. So instead of fighting it, am going to go with the flow. ;O)

Did a lot more work on the snow, just starting with the spray of snow in front of her legs as she gallops through it.

Added some while acrylic ink on her body and applying it with a paint brush.

Never be afraid to mix mediums, as you can create something wonderful with them.

Unicorn WIP 6

2011-05-06T10:28:00.000-07:00

Have been spending a lot of time adding shadow's to the Icelandic unicorn's horn and working a lot with her Mane. I wanted to add some depth, so I mixed some acrylic ink with a thickener, to get the look, I wanted.

Can see I just started working on the snow.

Close up of her horn and mane, so you can see some of the details a little better. The Sun placement was pretty high in the sky, so I have different angled shadows.

Is a little hard to see anything new here, working on the snow more, adding a little darker highlights for the snow she is turning up with her legs and hooves.

Thinking about adding some white ink on parts of her body too.

Background is showing lighter than it is in person due to the camera flash.

A Question Sunset ~

2011-04-22T12:43:00.000-07:00

This isn’t the most flashy Sunset photo I have taken but I thought it was very interesting. You see against the dark clouds, a light colored one floating there looking like a question mark.
Photo was taken on my NW Oregon Farm with my Evolt 510 Camera.
The photo is untouched, like most of my photos.

Unicorn WIP 5

2011-04-18T16:43:00.000-07:00

The Icelandic Unicorn is coming along slowly. I have added the gold leaf ink on the horn but still have to do some highlights on it. Have starting working on her mane, trying to make it as free flowing as possible. Background is a bit brighter than it is in person due to the flash.

Just a shot of my Artist's desk with the latest painting on it, looking out to one of my horse pastures. In this photo, it is too hard to see my mini Mare laying down with the lambs. An inspiring and peaceful place to work.

Unicorn WIP 4

2011-04-14T15:57:00.000-07:00

I wasn't sure how I was going to place her horn, so I took a thin piece of paper and placed it over my painting. This way, I would not draw and erase on the good hot press many times over, which would ruin the paper.

Since I now had her horn placed on her forehead, it was time to start the back ground. This is the first under layer of color but I had a problem. Using Derwent watercolor pencils makes it nigh on impossible to do large areas of color well.

Rarely do I put watercolor pencil to paper but in the case I would have too. So I used the side of the pencil and slowly did circular motions with various colors onto the hot press paper.

Then I very carefully... with a couple of small brushes, added the smallest amount water to the pigment. Using a circular motion again so I can create the Monet type background I was looking for.

Icelandic Unicorn ~ WIP 3

2011-04-07T07:36:00.000-07:00

Finished up putting the first layer of Ink on the Icelandic Unicorn's back and tail. Then worked on the legs a bit more and started with some shading in places.

Will be working on the mane next and then figuring out how to place the golden horn on her forehead.

Also need to start on the background and snow.

Slightly blurry close up of her eye. Can kind'a see the start of her fur texture.

Unicorn WIP 2

2011-04-06T09:11:00.000-07:00

Starting to apply the first layer of Ink.

Continuing with the first layer of Ink and adding some Shading to this piece. I have asked myself this question and I would love to hear from all of you.

Should I continue this piece as a golden horned Unicorn or should I just make it a cantering Icelandic playing in the snow?

You see, I am at a toss up but need to make a decision soon.

Icelandic Unicorn ~ Pen and Ink

2011-04-05T10:26:00.000-07:00

I decided to put my Art table back up and un pack some of my Art supplies, as I really want to paint again. This time I figured I would do something fun, how about an Icelandic Unicorn?!

Took a interesting photo of Dyfra not too long ago and am going to use her as a reference.

Will use my Pen and Ink and a bit of watercolor wash. I plan on inking in each hair on the Icelandic, so this piece might take awhile.

Phantom WIP 7

2011-02-20T10:34:00.000-08:00

This piece is painted using Ink and Watercolor Pencil on Hot pressed watercolor paper.

Working on adding more layers of color in various areas, working on the drop tank and wing more.

About 3/4 of the way to being finished.

I still need to either go to the air museum or find someone with a reference photo I can use, so I can verify that the wing on the far side, can not be seen from this angle.

Augmentation

2011-02-19T13:12:00.000-08:00

A different type of Abstract created with Bryce and AP 2.09.

I have to keep things simple as my computer doesn’t have a big enough hard drive or RAM.

At some point I am going to have to find a way to afford a Triple Core Hard Drive with at least 18g of RAM if I want to keep creating my Abstract Art.

So simple and elegant it is....... for now.

Featured in the Redbubble group, Digital Abstracts & Patterns, in March 2011.

Phantom WIP 6

2011-02-04T09:54:00.000-08:00

Added another layer of color to the Phantom, erasing the pencil lines as I go. Started adding the first layer of color to the wing, deepening the shadows a bit and just started working on the tank under the Fighter.

I have been using a new type of grey pencil watercolor and I am finding out it doesn't accept Ink well. So I will have to remember in the future if I use this color, to do the Ink work first.

Spinning some Brecknock Hill blend yarn

2011-01-31T19:20:00.000-08:00

In between painting and working on my Art Shops, I hand spin wool into 2 ply yarn.

Here you can see that I am spinning a single , that will later become a 2 ply yarn.

This is the last of my Brecknock Hill fleece, blended with Llama to make it a much more soft yarn.

Takes me about two months to make 2 skeins of 2 ply yarn.

Phenomenon

2011-01-31T16:47:00.000-08:00

Two digital programs brings this pearl like Abstract to life, to become a once in a life time phenomenon.

Phantom WIP 5

2011-01-31T11:06:00.000-08:00

Working on the Phantom this morning, adding another layer of color to the nose, working on the side of the engines with the first layer of color and the underside of this fighter.

Added ink to the tiny looking tail and rudder.

Is hard to see the depth of color I am starting to get, or the true color of this piece for that matter.

Need to find a way to get better lighting into my Studio room for taking photos.

Beautiful Sunset

2011-01-29T00:22:00.001-08:00

Another beautiful Sunset we had here on our Oregon Farm, lots of changing colors, so I had to take a couple of photographs.

The one above reminds me a of a bubbly sea.

This one is dark, brooding and mystical.

Really like how the Ferns and Feathers look on the iPad and iphone cases

Urban Jungle
It is finally completed and is based on a photograph I took of Mia. Mia is our Tabby cat we brought home from the local shelter. She makes a great model. Urban Jungle is painted using Ink and watercolor pencil wash on my favorite Hot press Fabriano Artistico Bright White Watercolor paper. My paintings take a long time to complete because of the level of detail and painted in my studio on my NW Oregon Farm.

~~Handspun!!~~
Each Skein or Ball of yarn varies slightly in its thickness, this is due to the unique nature of Hanspun Yarn.
All the yarn is spun on my Majacraft Saxonie spinning wheel.

British Top 2 ply yarn in Medium dark Blue with 35% tussah silk colors of blue, purple, pink and green, this is a luxury blend. Medium soft, nice luster, suited for sweaters, hats, gloves, socks and what ever your hearts desire!
This skein is of a varying thickness, from fingerling to almost a sport weight yarn.

This skein is 0.167kg or 5.89 oz's

I have two skeins of this color available.

Phantom 3 WIP

2011-01-09T10:39:00.000-08:00

Is lightly snowing this morning, so I decided it was a good time to work on my painting. Normally I get more of the under color done before I work on the Ink but I was impatient, so spent quite awhile working with it.

After I was done with that, I applied the first layer of color to the underside front of the Aircraft.

This photo looks kind'a funny because I took the picture upside down. But you can see I have added little more shading to the underside of the Navy Phantoms nose, on the canopy and intake.
