Let the sun shine - ink

A digital ink study using my iPad

Digital painting based on the ink version of this lovely lady. Used the ink as the base for the painting. Done in Procreate on my iPad 18x24"

I Wonder... (ink)

An exploration for the painted art of this lady. Exploration of distortion, line and expressiveness of eyes and hands 18" x 36"

I wonder ...

Still exploring the language of hands and feet as well as bit of perspective distortion. This goddess has a flower child vibe and earth goddess effect. Long and tall and skinny 18" x 36"

I Got You Sis (ink)

The gentleness of these two holding each other. I feel as though they are comforting each other. The ink is splotchy and energetic even while helping to show their intimacy.

I Got You Sis!

These two have taken a journey together and seem to be comforting each other. Either a loss or an event that has upset them Again the process of the painting brings a different spin to their story and who they are. I love the glow of their white dresses. For me the white dresses symbolize their youth and future potential. 18" x 24"

Do I Look Alright (ink)

Created for Inktober 2019. I wanted to capture a quick study of a young woman getting ready to go out or is out and catching a glimpse of herself in a window, and checking to see if she looks okay 16" x 24"

Is the water warm?

This is my second painting based on the Do I look alright drawing. I wanted a full length figure to show off some distorted perspective on her feet. My colors make It feel like summer, a lovely warm day at the beach. We have all been this lovely goddess at the beach I am sure. 16"x 24" *Note : this will print to size as a paper print

Do I look alright?

Painted in Procreate on an iPad. A glimpse of an intimate and a little vulnerable, private moment a young woman. 16" x 24"

Lets Fly Away - ink

This drawing was done as part of my InkTober 2019 October daily challenge. I set out with the goal of exploring and mastering hands and feet along with a an expressive story for each piece. This was day 10's effort. All of these are digital paintings and drawings

Let's Fly Way - paint

My woman reading tries to capture the unique experience a good book will give us the readers. We can be transported to different worlds in the pages of words. She is sitting in her happy spot, in a different world. 20"x 26"

Listen (ink)

The language of hands if powerful and helps to describe the story. Again my 'goddess' is contemplative and yet she seem optimistic. Perhaps she can hear something really beautiful. I have not used pencil as a first step in this drawing rather just ink. It like the energy this process gives to the ink drawings as I explore the ways to accurate drawing.

Listen

My beautiful girl is transported to a calm place - she listens to her inner voice. In the process of painting I needed to calm down all the strong ink lines of the drawing. I wanted to convey her inner peace, and the softness that has resulted in the painted version have been successful I believe. 20" x 26"

Wish You Were Here (ink)

This is the first version of this contemplative figure. I try to keep the ink work loose and flowing. I love adding a touch of color to these works. Painted on my iPad. These art works were created to be 16" x 24" for bigger impact.

Wish You Were Here

The paint helps bring this story to a bolder conclusion. From the colors, to the pose to having some of the original ink drawing still present in the art. Painted on my iPad. These art works were created to be 16" x 24" for bigger impact.

I Am Sure

With her amber eyes she stares out the world. Full of confidence and self assurance. A continuation of my 'goddess' art and now incorporating the language of hands This painting is a 'mixed' media digital piece in that it has both acrylic, charcoal, and pastel combined. You can still see parts of the original ink study of hands showing through as added texture in the background

Celebrate The Good

This painting was created to commemorate the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. There is hope, there is are new ways forward. Based on an acrylic and collage painting I started and then scanned to my iPad.
