Do you know Jaime Derringer?

Do you know Jaime Derringer?  I ran across this fabulous work on Anthology magazine and loved it!  Such fun colors and beautiful abstract shapes and line work.  I would mind having one of these sweet little guys up in my kitchen.

 

 

 

 You can find Jaime's work for sale on etsy.

New Work

Alright guys, I have made a whole slew of new paintings on paper!  All of these guys are available on Etsy.  Because I've been feeling in the summer mood, several of these bad boys have pink, coral, and orange colors.  Like a melty popsicle, no?

 

 

 

And don't worry...if you can't get enough of the black and white beauties...there are some of those new guys too...

 

 

There are tons more on Etsy if you want to check them out!  Plus, some of the older dudes are on there too!



Do you know....

Do you know Emily Rickard?  I am obsssessed with her abstract paintings.  Whether you're looking for a cool or warm colorway, sh'es got the painting for you.  Oh, and I did mention she uses gold foil?  Because she does.

 

You can check her out on etsy, and she even has inexpensive prints for sale at Society 6.  Some of her more colorful prints would be perfect in a child's room!

 

 

New Work

After taking a break, I am back to painting.  Not just the prints for the Over the Moon baby store, but also adult, abstract works.  Well, I say adult, but actually these could be for children, too! (Also, I don't mean adult in a creepy way....ha...)

Below are a few of my favorite works on paper, that combine watercolor, acrylic, thread, wax, and gold foil.

And here is a piece, lit very dramatically, that I framed to hang in my own home.

And here's the same piece, looking very fetching, bedside in my guest room.



I am still working on formatting my other website, so for the meantime, you can catch the rest of the work and close-ups on my Etsy page!

Do you know...

Do you know Tracey Kafka?  Don't worry, I don't either!  I just stumbled upon her work one day, and let me just tell you, it's awesome....

I love the flesh tones of this one, and the way the paint sits on the surface?  Gorge.

If you're into abstracts, like I am, this gal's for you. 

Check out this pink and orange stunner.  Wouldn't these be great in a single girl's place?  Or a beach house?

This one has to be my favorite.  I love, love, LOVE that lavender swipe!  And the varying widths of the paint colors is nice too.  So much texture!

A little homage to Rothko, no?  Just like a beautiful sunset!

Studio Swag

Ok people, I'm back!  It's been a looooooooooooong time since I've completed a series of works (nursery art, not-withstanding).  I'm not totally finished yet, but here's a little sneak peek....

Even though its been a while since I've made a finished piece, I've continued to keep a sketchbook.  I think a sketchbook is really important!  It lets me experiment without being committal.

 

 

As you can see, I like to mix media...watercolor, acrylic, pen, pencil.  You name it, it's getting some action in the sketchbook...

Decoupage angels with cornicopia's of flowers?  Duh.

 

Crayons?  Yes, please.  Picture of an old dude?  Sure, I'll use it.

 

 Stayed tuned for new work on Over The Moon!!
