Daily Creativity: Bloody Diamonds Fan Art!

Sara from Bloody DiamondsI love the band Bloody Diamonds, and for a while there was a running joke about how any time they came to town, I was out of town. It got so bad the one time I was in town and they were playing I was stuck at the radio station fixing the transmission and missed their show. Finally, I was able to see a show of theirs as a two piece (part of the stripped down tour), and then later with their new bandmates and got to hear the full sound of the band. Both shows were amazing, the second actually felt like I was getting a private show.  I only have interaction with Sara & Jake and they are both awesome people IMO.

Screen shot 2013-09-11 at 12.14.36 AMA few weeks ago I saw a tweet with a great shot of Sara by by Joeri Coppens, I liked the photo so much that I saved it for painting later.  I painted it a few days ago on my iPad.  I like how bright Sara is in contrast with the dark background.

Love Your BodyLove Your Body: iPad painting.

This painting reminds me of a trinket I had when I was a kid.  It was a plastic mermaid glued to a rock.  There was something about that little trinket I loved, I think the pose is almost the same.  I also like how I painted it without clear lines, like she could be part of the watery background.

Daily Creativity: Sleeping TekType

A sleeping TekType in his natural habitat Tonight I lay next to my husband as he slept and sketched him, then I painted it.  I just loved how he looked laying there.  The green of his clothes mixing with the green sheets, pillow cases and duvet gave the tableau a very soft feel, it’s what pulled me to pick up a pencil.  I chose watercolor to make the painting as soft as I could.

This comes on a fitting day, as I post this it is July 4th, 2013.  My husband and I met for the first time face to face 11 years ago today.  We had known each other for about five years before then but we grew closer in the year before meeting.  Not to sound sappy, but it was the best fourth of july fireworks ever, and I had to go to Canada for them.
