Call for open critique...

Ok...so this piece I worked on over the weekend but am unsure of whether I am finished or not. Wondering what people's first, honest reactions are to her. So, fire away. She's 4x5 feet and the pic is admittedly not a great one (want to let her dry and / or finish her before taking final pics.)

Thanks!

4 new pieces listed in my Etsy storefront today with more to come. Also finished a fantastic 4x5 foot piece over the weekend in my kitchen (my husband loves when I create "mine fields" of paint in the kitchen, keeps him on his toes *wink*) and I hope to get pics of that up soon as well. As with the other larger pieces, it is going to be reserved for my upcoming show at Taylor & Mackenzie in NYC.

Black Friday madness

Having an impromtu Black Friday sale (after much deliberation) on my original paintings that's only available to my Facebook fans at my fan page. It's a big one. Just cause I feel like rolling like that. It might be the turkey. It might be the vodka. Either way, it's good for those who want one of my paintings at a slammin' price. Cheers.

A peek at all 3 5x6' paintings together

Not the best pic but you get the idea. I love working big. I want to go bigger.... Haha, I should take a pic of me standing next to all of them. That really gives you the full idea of how big these babies are. I have to stand on a chair to paint the tops. Looking forward to seeing them all on a wall :)

75 MPH

The skeletal structure of a new series. These photos were taken on my latest trip down to Brooklyn. I have a lot of time to think about things on the 3 hour trip down and back... I grabbed my camera to see what kind of abstract shots I could get to use as reference pics for new paintings. Several hours, 60 images, and 150 miles or so later, I had a collection of photographs chronicling our weekly journey. Some of the pics I think are art in and of themselves....
