Video Coming Soon...

I usually post a video on Sundays, but I'm in the middle of working on a big painting, so Altered Books: Part 2 will have to wait until later in the week. I don't have a photo yet of the painting because it is still in progress, but it is a big (for me, who is used to painting small) 18" x 18" canvas. I am pretty happy with it so far! :)

For now, I'm showing you some photos of my new little painting with baby alpaca roving used as hair. Roving is the stuff that hand spinners (like me!) make yarn out of. I had some that was the perfect shade of auburn lying around, so I decided to give this painting, called "Gwen," a little hair-do. The alpaca roving is super soft, so her hair is really nice to touch! She is living in my Etsy store because I made an extra one for myself to keep... I have SUCH a hard time parting with art, which is really silly, since I am trying to make a living as an artist. I can't help it, though, and the new painting I am working on is going to look great in my bedroom!

I also wanted to ask what people are interested in seeing as far as the how-to videos go. Please post a comment (please!) and make a suggestion... What is a technique you've always wantedd to learn? Or would videos that would get you motivated about what subject matter to draw or paint interest you more? Screenprinting? Image transfers? Anything is game! Just let me know...
