This is a painting I did from an image I’ve had on my iPad for over a year, I really wanted to be able to paint it but the red sheets were so striking. Sadly I don’t have the source for the image to link to :( if you recognize it please let me know so I can fix that.

This is part of my Love Your Body series, basically celebrating the beauty of the human form.  Everyone is beautiful.

I’ve got a new stylus for my iPad (months old, but new this year and I haven’t talked about it yet) its a paint brush, and I just love it. It works so well and I feel like I have better control now.

I first saw this post on tumblr by user flushedskin and knew I wanted to paint something with this as a guide.RecliningSM

I first worked on a study on my ipad and then tonight painting this with watercolors.  I had to modify it a bit since the original photo had a hand and phone in the way, but I think I did all right.  I ended up using my husband posting for me to figure out where the shoulder should be.

I love how soft this looks, like the coloring too.  There is something about the human form that I just love painting.

Summer 2013This summer I painted this watercolor of different people and sizes swimming and having fun.  I love the idea of being comfortable in your skin and enjoying summer.

This is a watercolor painting in tabloid size.  Prints are available if anyone is interested.  I have the original hanging in my studio now.  It makes me smile every time I see it.

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.
