Daily Creativity: Live Long, and Prosper.

LLAPsmIf you were on social media tonight you would have read that everyone’s Grandpa, Leonard Nimoy has passed, as well as Maurice Hurley (a writer from Star Trek). It hit pretty hard because I’m a trekkie, Spock was my friend, Nimoy was the actor. I had known he was getting involved in photography, but didn’t realize he was the photographer behind the Full Body Project, a project that is near and dear to my heart. One of the pictures was an inspiration for my Love Your Body series. So this is in tribute to him, to the effect his character had on me, and everything. I may be using his photos as inspiration for more paintings too. Painting in ArtRage on the iPad. 2/27/2015

Daily Creativity: Seiza (from tuesday)

seiza_smTuesday is an aikido night, so I find myself influenced by it when I’m painting. Last night I painted in watercolor a person in seiza, the way we kneel/sit in class. I had fun with this and worked on making it gender neutral. Painting in ArtRage on the iPad. 2/24/2015

Daily Creativity: Love your Body (from monday)

love-your-body-18smAnother painting in the Love Your Body series, and because my fashion group’s theme this week is pink, I painted her pink.  I painted this monday, but didn’t get around to uploading it or making a post for it today. Art Rage app on iPad. 2/23/2015

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

LoveYourBody17smI have brought back the Love Your Body series with last night’s painting. I painted this using the art rage ipad app and my stylus brush and stylus. I like the mood of this pose, the idea of a woman holding herself. 2/21/2015

Daily Creativity: Love Your Body

Love-Your-Body-16sm4/7/2014
This is a bit messy, but I like it messy sometimes.  This Love Your Body piece isn’t inspired by one photograph but a collection of them.  I created this without the use of of a model.  I like how the quick lines and subtle color creates some emotion in this piece.
