Daily Creativity: Fire Lady

fire-lady_smI’ve painted another figure on my iPad, I really like the color palate and how she just jumps out of the page.  I like the fiery colors, and her hair.  I often have trouble with curly hair but I got her hair really good this time (thanks to painting on the iPad and not with actual paints, I could undo several times.)

This gallery contains 10 photos.

This year I’m doing NaNoWriMo in a different way.  Instead of writing 50K words, I’m painting 30 pictures for my children’s book “Rory goes to the dentist.”  I’m valuing each picture at 2K words, though I will say it should … Continue reading

Daily Creativity: Apple Shaped?

Apple ShapedWe’ve all heard it before.  Are you a pear shape?  An apple shape?  You’re neither. You’re person shaped.  People come in different shapes and sizes, we aren’t apples, we aren’t pears, we’re people.

Enjoy your body, express it, and love it.  Don’t put it down, find what you like about it, even if you have to use someone else’s eyes.  You wouldn’t allow someone to be so negative about your friends, so why allow yourself to be so negative about you?

Daily Creativity: Ursula

Ursula watercolor paintingI don’t normally do straight paintings of established characters like this.  Just painting someone else’s art makes me feel like I’m copying, but this time I wanted to do a painting of Ursula the Sea Witch because she is just plain awesome.  Not only is she a great villain but she’s a woman in power and control of her life and her body.  Sure she is is evil, but she still has everything else going for her, and she makes a really good role model.  I always liked her songs and liked her attitude.

“Never under estimate the power of BODY LANGUAGE! Ha!”

I hope to one day get a cool Ursula costume going for myself, I just want to make sure that when I do, her tentacles look awesome, not cheap, that’s the big thing holding me back right now.

Ursula doesn’t apologize for anything, she takes up space and fills a room, and if she’s really mad, she just gets bigger.  She’s plain awesome.
