07:43 pm - catching up..
i found a new studio space this month, it close to the strip and china town which is very different compared to where i lived before.

ive been longing to move my studio and unexpectedly found this place.. its big and unbelivably affordable !
the three-way lighting is the main reason i choose it. i will have to move again in one year, (big move) so i dont have plans to get completely settled in.



the downside is the neighborhood.. its shady, shady. behind bars for now ^__^



recently..

a new batch of colors for works in upcoming group exhibits.



ive been in mood for romantic and warm.
i am suprised how unique some of the pigment mixtures turned out.. refreshing to work w/ a new pallate.

a new piece in progress, about half finished.. a result of the new color batch...




all the series will be divied into two group exhibits this yr (about 10 small pieces total) & will be framed in various sized cutey floral frames..hand antiqued (by yours truly). i like lighter frames on the works but these will not be white white- more of a naturally light patina.

not finished, but very close..

Current Location: studio
Current Mood: [mood icon] cheerful

Wow, I love your new palette, it looks like its going to be dinomyte. the frames are really interesting too, i think that they would compliment your style (and you theirs) perfectly. And dont even get me started on that studio space! *mines is dingy, rat infested, paint peeling, leaking room that im currently having to sleep in... obviously you work in slightly better conditions ;)

You have a beautiful easel! And your place seems so open, airy, and well bright! Do you live with anyone else [aside from the cute pup]? If not, that's a large pad for one person, wow!

The painting and the frame are so elegant and whimsical, as always. :)

How the heck did you find a rental with HARDWOOD FLOORS in that area?!! (I'm guessing you're somewhere near Wynn Road or Arville) Shadiness is shadiness, but it looks like quite the sanctuary inside!

When mixing new colors do you use special or specific paints? Your primary material is acrylic, right?

I really like the look of the new colors, they give a certain warmth to your subject matter.

its all acrylics. i use differnet pigment bases some are powder and other are pastes. it depends on the color and transeprencies. for the base mediums i currently use golden and gouche mixing mediums.
